Telangana Jagruti president Kalvakuntla Kavitha on Wednesday announced that her organisation will not contest the upcoming municipal elections in Telangana, the schedule for which is expected to be released in the next couple of days.
Addressing a meeting at her office, Kavitha said that Telangana Jagruti has not yet evolved into a full-fledged political party. However, she clarified that the organisation would extend its support to any party or candidate seeking its backing in the municipal polls.
Kavitha strongly criticised both the ruling Congress and the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), accusing them of deliberately betraying Backward Classes (BCs), particularly on the issue of reservations in local body elections. She alleged that the Congress had already committed injustice to BCs during the gram panchayat elections and was now proceeding with municipal elections without even raising the demand for 42 per cent reservation for BCs.
The silence of the Congress on the reservation issue, she said, reflected the party’s lack of commitment to social justice. Kavitha also questioned the BRS for not raising its voice forcefully in support of BCs, alleging that neither party was genuinely concerned about the welfare of backward communities.
Referring to the SIT investigation into the alleged telephone tapping case, Kavitha described it as an “orchestrated drama” jointly played out by the Congress and the BRS to divert public attention ahead of the municipal elections. She alleged that the issue was deliberately brought to the forefront to mislead people and asserted that victims of such cases were unlikely to receive justice.
Stating that there was no urgency to conduct municipal elections, Kavitha maintained that polls should be held only after ensuring 42 per cent reservation for BCs. “True justice is possible only when the majority sections of society have a fair share in political power,” she said.
Calling upon youth, women, and members of marginalised communities, Kavitha urged them to use municipal elections as a training ground. She said the elections would help aspiring leaders understand the political process and prepare themselves for future leadership roles.
