On September 3, 2025, K Kavitha, a well-known Telangana leader and daughter of former Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao (KCR), took a shocking step by resigning from the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) party and giving up her seat in the Legislative Council. This decision came just a day after she was suspended from the party over allegations of anti-party activities.
Speaking at an emotional press conference, Kavitha didn’t hold back her feelings. She accused her own cousins, former minister T. Harish Rao and Rajya Sabha MP J. Santosh Kumar, of plotting against her and her father. She believes their actions have even sparked a CBI investigation into KCR’s role in the Kaleshwaram irrigation project, a flagship development initiative in Telangana.
Kavitha also expressed deep hurt over the lack of support from her brother, K.T. Rama Rao (KTR), the BRS Working President. She described being targeted by a “malicious campaign” within the party and felt abandoned by those closest to her.
Despite stepping away from the party and her legislative role, Kavitha made it clear that she hasn’t decided what’s next for her politically. She isn’t joining any other party for now and plans to consult with her supporters before charting her future course.
With her taking this dire step, it exposes deep cracks within Telangana’s ruling family and raises fresh questions about the unity and future of the BRS. All eyes are now on Kavitha as the state watches how this personal and political drama unfolds.
