BRS in Crisis: Kalvakuntla Kavitha’s Letter Ignites New Storm
Article Today, Hyderabad:
The internal crisis within the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) party has come to the forefront with MLC Kalvakuntla Kavitha writing a scathing six-page letter to her father and former Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao, criticizing his leadership and party management.
Who is Behind?
Analysts are trying to understand the reasons behind Kavitha’s unprecedented move, questioning whether she feels sidelined within the party or if there’s more to it. Some speculate that Kavitha is being backed by a key leader in the Congress government, much like YS Sharmila, sister of Andhra Pradesh’s former Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy, was supported by certain quarters.
Kavitha’s Criticisms
In her letter, Kavitha expressed disappointment over KCR’s brief mention of the BJP in the party’s silver jubilee celebrations. She felt that the BJP, which had put her through immense trouble, deserved a stronger stance. Kavitha also criticized the party’s support for the BJP in the recent MLC elections, which she believes has tarnished the party’s image.
Senior Leaders Sidelined
Kavitha slammed KCR for prioritizing new leaders over senior ones, which she believes has created discontent within the party. She also expressed her dissatisfaction over KCR’s silence on issues like the Telangana Talli statue and the state’s cultural symbols.
BRS in Turmoil
The letter has sparked a fresh debate within the BRS, with many senior leaders reportedly supporting Kavitha’s views. However, KCR has not responded to the letter yet. The opposition parties, Congress and BJP, are likely to capitalize on this development to corner the BRS.
The Future of BRS
The letter has brought the internal conflicts within the BRS to the fore, raising questions about the party’s future. Will KCR respond to Kavitha’s criticisms and initiate reforms, or will the crisis deepen? The coming days will reveal the trajectory of the BRS and its implications for Telangana politics.
