Suspended BRS MLC K Kavitha on Monday launched a scathing attack on her father K Chandrasekhar Rao-led Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), alleging corruption during the previous party regime in Telangana and describing the BRS Constitution as a “joke.”
Speaking emotionally in the Legislative Council, Kavitha said she was not part of several unpopular decisions taken during the BRS rule. She also urged Council Chairman Gutha Sukhender Reddy to accept her resignation from the MLC post, which she had submitted soon after her suspension from the party in September last year.
Recalling her suspension, Kavitha alleged that the party’s Disciplinary Action Committee was constituted overnight and that no proper procedures, such as issuing a show-cause notice, were followed.
“They cited a Disciplinary Action Committee. The Constitution of BRS, which wants to work at the national level, is an eight-page Constitution. I am saying courageously today — the Constitution of the BRS party is a joke,” she said, adding that such actions were “definitely not the way to run a party.”
Kavitha also accused the BRS regime of corruption in the construction of major infrastructure projects, including district Collectorate buildings, pointing out that the Collectorates in Siddipet and Siricilla were flooded following heavy rains soon after their completion.
“From Amar Jyoti, Ambedkar statue, Secretariat to Collectorates, it is true that corruption took place. The biggest example is the two Collectorates which were flooded when the first rain occurred after their construction,” she said. The Amar Jyoti memorial, giant Ambedkar statue, new Secretariat complex, and new district Collector offices were all constructed during the BRS government.
Kavitha said her resignation as MLC, submitted on September 3, has not yet been accepted, and she had sought time to explain the reasons behind it.
Earlier, speaking in Suryapet, she criticised the BRS for boycotting the ongoing winter session of the Telangana Assembly, alleging that the move would help the ruling Congress. She questioned whether the boycott decision was taken by her cousin and BRS MLA T Harish Rao personally or by the party high command, warning that abandoning House debates was a “serious political mistake.”
Kavitha was suspended from the BRS in September 2025 after accusing her cousins and senior party leaders T Harish Rao and J Santosh Kumar of “tarnishing” her father KCR’s image over the Kaleshwaram lift irrigation project.
Since her suspension, she has been addressing public issues under the banner of Telangana Jagruti, a cultural organisation she heads. On December 12, Kavitha declared that she would one day become Chief Minister and order probes into alleged injustices and irregularities committed since the formation of Telangana in 2014.
