After KTR welcomed the Delhi court’s clean chit in the liquor case, K. Kavitha issued a sharp counter, accusing BRS leadership of failing to support her during her legal battle. She questioned why no press meets were held when she was jailed and hinted at launching a new political party within two months.

Background: Court Clean Chit

The controversy erupted after the Rouse Avenue Court reportedly granted relief in the Delhi liquor policy case.

Following the verdict, K. T. Rama Rao (KTR), Working President of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), posted a strong message on social media welcoming the decision and alleging political targeting.

However, his tweet appears to have triggered an unexpected response from his sister.

Kavitha’s Sharp Counter

K. Kavitha, daughter of K. Chandrashekar Rao (KCR), reacted critically to KTR’s remarks.

In her response, Kavitha reportedly:

Questioned why neither KTR nor KCR addressed the media when she was jailed.
Claimed she did not receive adequate support from the party during her legal troubles.
Alleged that attempts were being made to attribute the party’s electoral setbacks to the liquor case controversy.

She further stated that if stronger backing had been extended earlier, the political narrative might have been different.

Internal Tensions in BRS?

Kavitha’s remarks have sparked speculation about internal differences within the BRS leadership. Her statement that she would launch a new political party within two months has intensified political chatter.

She also remarked that the timing of the verdict was a “blessing,” suggesting a potential political recalibration ahead.

The developments mark a rare public exchange between senior leaders within the same political family.

Political Implications

The episode comes at a sensitive time for the BRS, which has been navigating post-election challenges in Telangana.

If Kavitha proceeds with plans for a new political outfit, it could significantly alter the state’s political equations and impact the BRS’s future strategy.

Observers note that such public disagreements could reshape alliances and voter perceptions in the coming months.
