Kavitha quits BRS, MLC post, a day after her father KCR suspended her from the party

K Kavitha resigned from the BRS party and her MLC post a day after being suspended from the party. 

I am resigning from BRS and submitting my MLC resignation letter to the Council Speaker," she said on Wednesday while training her guns against her cousin and former minister T Harish Rao.

The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) suspended Kavitha with immediate effect for damaging the party through anti-party activities. BRS President and Kavitha's father, K Chandrasekhar Rao, has made a decision, the party said in a statement on Tuesday, 2, September.

"The party leadership is taking this matter seriously as the recent behavior and ongoing anti-party activities of party MLC K Kavitha are damaging the BRS party. Party President K Chandrasekhar Rao has taken a decision to suspend K Kavitha from the party with immediate effect," BRS said in a post on X on Tuesday.

Kavitha, daughter of party founder and former Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao(KCR), also announced quitting as Member of the Legislative Council and indicated there was 'pressure' on her father to act against her.

She accused Harish Rao of conspiring against KCR's family.

Addressing a press conference here, flanked by her supporters, the 47-year-old former MP charged Harish Rao with having a tacit understanding with Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy.

"I never aspired for any posts. I am sending a resignation letter to (Legislative Council) chairman...I am also sending resignation from primary membership of BRS to KCR," she said.

Kavitha said her brother and BRS Working President K T Rama Rao should be "careful" about Harish Rao's alleged conspiracies. She claimed her brother did not back her when a "malicious campaign" was launched against her.

Kavitha charged that the CBI probe announced by the Congress government against KCR over alleged irregularities in the Kaleshwaram irrigation project was due to the corruption of cousins Harish Rao and Santosh Rao.

The leader added that she was not joining any political party and that her future course of action would be decided after due discussions with supporters.
