Hyderabad: A day after her suspension from KCR-led BRS, senior leader K Kavitha on Wednesday announced her resignation from the party and trained her guns against her cousin and former minister T Harish Rao.
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.
This is the first time Kavitha has spoken publicly after her suspension from the BRS.
Addressing reporters at the Telangana Jagruthi Headquarters, she claimed that a section within the party conspired and spread “false propaganda” against her.
“Despite being active in the BRS Party, I am suspended for fighting for public issues like reservations for BCs. How is that anti-party?” she asked.
Kavitha alleged that Harish Rao had colluded with Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy and was working against the interests of the KCR family.
“They both travelled on the same flight to Delhi recently and conspired against the KCR family,” she said, adding that Harish Rao has “surrendered to Revanth Reddy.” She demanded, “Why is the government targeting only KTR? Why is there no probe into the allegations against Harish Rao?”
She charged that Harish Rao was attempting to seize the party from KCR and KTR. “Harish Rao is not a troubleshooter. He is a bubble shooter. He creates trouble within the party and pretends that he is solving the trouble,” she alleged.
