Kalvakuntla Kavitha, daughter of former Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao, emotionally declared the transformation of Telangana Jagruthi into a political party during her final speech in the Telangana Legislative Assembly. Kavitha, who had resigned from the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and the Legislative Council last year, expressed her intent to establish a new political force in the state. She emphasized that the new platform would advocate for students, the unemployed, and various other segments of society.
Kavitha revealed her decision to contest future elections under the banner of Telangana Jagruthi, aiming to emerge as a significant political entity. She cited personal humiliation and political marginalization within the BRS as reasons for her departure. Alleging a conspiracy against her by individuals close to her father, KCR, she highlighted her struggles for self-respect rather than material assets. Kavitha also criticized the lack of internal democracy within the party and accused the ruling Congress of exploiting divisions within the BRS.
The former MP accused the BJP of orchestrating her arrest as a form of political retaliation against KCR. She pointed out instances of alleged corruption within the party and the government, including mismanagement in various development projects. Kavitha underscored her advocacy for the recognition of Telangana movement martyrs and the welfare of citizens, emphasizing the party’s failure to uphold its founding principles. She concluded by asserting her commitment to fighting for the rights and dignity of the people of Telangana.
