During the tenure of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) under former Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao, party leaders frequently spoke of building a “Bangaru Telangana.” However, the phrase has increasingly become associated with leaders who accumulated immense wealth and assets during KCR’s regime, while grassroots Telangana activists continued to struggle financially.
KCR’s daughter, Kalvakuntla Kavitha, has repeatedly criticized this trend, taking aim at her cousins—former minister T. Harish Rao and former Rajya Sabha member Joginapally Santosh—for amassing significant wealth in the name of Bangaru Telangana. “Is it enough if these leaders have tonnes of gold in their houses? What about the rest of Telangana?” she had questioned in the past.
On Wednesday, Kavitha once again launched a sharp attack on BRS leaders, referring to them as the “BT batch” (Bangaru Telangana batch). She alleged that this group had hijacked the party and marginalized the original Telangana movement activists. “This BT batch misused power for personal gain, whereas the ‘UT batch’ (Udyama Telangana batch), representing those who fought for statehood, continues to suffer,” she asserted.
Kavitha further accused the BT batch of aligning opportunistically with whoever holds power, describing them as sycophants who merely “sing praises of those in government.” She highlighted widespread land encroachments by leaders from this faction, noting that complaints are routinely dismissed as vindictive. “The previous government did the same, and the current rulers are following the same pattern,” she added.
Speaking about her own political journey, Kavitha said she was once confined to Nizamabad due to internal strategies, while BT batch candidates won in constituencies such as Uppal, Malkajgiri, Qutbullapur, Medchal, and Kukatpally. According to her, if the UT batch’s principles had been followed, Shambipur Raja would have been appointed as a minister, but instead, someone from the BT batch received a cabinet berth.
She vowed to continue supporting Telangana activists and families of martyrs. “Wherever movement activists own land, we will plant the Jagruthi flag. I will keep fighting for them,” she declared.
Kavitha accused the BT batch of joining the BRS en masse for land, power, and control, claiming they had encroached on lakes and extensive public land. “Qutbullapur is now mockingly called ‘Kabzalapur’ due to the scale of encroachments,” she said.
Indirectly criticizing Harish Rao, Kavitha noted that the BRS MLA who calls himself the “six-foot bullet” had never developed a hospital in his constituency. She also criticized former minister Jagadish Reddy for failing to understand public issues, adding that people themselves no longer take him seriously.
