Kavitha revolts against BRS leadership, alleges party merging with BJP

In a meeting with reporters at her residence, Kavitha made serious charges against the party leadership, particularly targeting her brother KT Rama Rao (KTR), the working president of the party.

She said efforts were underway to merge the BRS with the BJP. “Even while I was in jail, proposals were made to merge with the BJP. I told my father not to take hasty decisions and merge the BRS with the BJP. I said I was prepared to be in jail not just for six months, but even for years, if necessary,” she said.

Her reference is to the period between March and August 2024 when she was in jail in connection with her alleged involvement in the Delhi excise policy case. She was released after the Supreme Court granted her bail.
