Telangana Jagruthi president and BRS MLC Kalvakuntla Kavitha staged a protest at Indira Chowk on Wednesday, opposing the issuance of judicial probe notices to her father and party chief, K. Chandrashekar Rao (KCR), over alleged irregularities in the construction of the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Project.
Interestingly, the protest witnessed a conspicuous absence of Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) flags and party leaders. Despite the demonstration being in support of KCR, there were no visible signs of party backing, pointing to reported internal instructions from the BRS leadership discouraging cadre from participating.
Observers note that this development highlights the growing rift within the party, with speculation suggesting that KCR perceives his daughter’s actions as an attempt to leverage his stature for personal political mileage.
Kavitha’s assertion that serving notices to KCR is tantamount to insulting Telangana has drawn sharp reactions from political analysts. Critics argue that such rhetoric seeks to blur the lines between individual accountability and regional identity.
“Legal notices issued by a judicial commission appointed by the elected Telangana government should not be framed as an attack on the state itself,” said a political analyst. “These notices relate to financial accountability in a key infrastructure project and should be addressed through proper legal channels. No leader is above the law — not even the founder of the state.”
Analysts also point to a pattern in BRS’s political narrative — repeatedly invoking Telangana sentiment in times of legal or political challenges. “Such tactics may have contributed to the electorate’s shift away from BRS in the last elections,” an observer noted.
Kavitha’s court appearances in the Delhi liquor scam case have also drawn criticism, particularly her symbolic gestures such as raising a clenched fist and chanting pro-Telangana slogans. “The charges in the liquor scam are of a personal nature, and portraying them as an attack on the state is misleading,” analysts stated.
In her recent comments, Kavitha also warned current Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, reminding him that Telangana was achieved due to KCR’s leadership during the movement. While acknowledging KCR’s significant role in the statehood struggle, critics point out that the formation of Telangana was ultimately sanctioned by the UPA government, led by the same party now headed by Revanth Reddy in the state.
The ongoing controversy reflects deeper tensions within the BRS and raises questions about the effectiveness of emotional appeals in addressing serious allegations of governance and corruption.
