Telangana Jagruthi organized a sudden protest in Hyderabad, urging the Congress government to fulfill its election commitments to the women of Telangana. Led by Kalvakuntla Kavitha, the protest at Praja Bhavan involved over 1,000 women who demanded the immediate implementation of pending poll assurances. The protesters highlighted unmet promises such as 10 grams of gold for brides, electric scooters for female students, and a monthly financial aid of Rs 2,500 for Telangana women.
Kavitha, the former MP, submitted a memorandum to officials during the protest, stressing the need for budget allocation in the upcoming session to honor the promises. She also emphasized the importance of fulfilling commitments made to Anganwadi and Aasha workers in Telangana. Alleging that the Congress government has failed to deliver on its pledges, Kavitha insisted on the allocation of funds in the upcoming budget to fulfill promises like financial aid, scooters for students, and pensions.
Expressing disappointment with the Congress’ performance, Kavitha criticized the party for not keeping its word to women in the state despite being in power for 26 months. She reiterated the demand for funds in the budget to fulfill promises such as Rs 2,500 aid to women, scooters for students, and Rs 4,000 pension. Additionally, she highlighted the unmet commitments regarding increased pensions for senior citizens, persons with disabilities, and other beneficiaries.
Meanwhile, Kavitha extended birthday wishes to her father and former chief minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR) on his birthday. She recently parted ways with the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) after being suspended for anti-party activities and resigned from the Member of the Legislative Council. Currently leading Telangana Jagrthi, a cultural organization she founded during the Telangana movement, Kavitha announced plans to launch a new political party within the next three months.
