Daughter or Dissenter? Kavitha’s Defiance Sparks Political Storm in BRS
In a dramatic turn of events, Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) chief K. Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) is reportedly preparing to expel his daughter, Kalvakuntla Kavitha, from the party — marking a bold political move that could reshape Telangana’s opposition landscape.
Sources within BRS suggest the decision follows months of escalating tensions, with Kavitha clashing with senior party leaders and openly questioning the leadership, including that of Working President K.T. Rama Rao (KTR). Kavitha, who leads Telangana Jagruthi, has repeatedly distanced herself from BRS’s internal policies — even hinting at a separate political path.
Kavitha’s Rebellion: From Loyalist to Political Outsider
Party insiders say KCR has been meticulously documenting her actions, viewing them as harmful to the party’s unity and public image. “He’s acted swiftly against dissent before. Why would it be any different just because she’s his daughter?” a senior BRS leader told us.
The internal rift intensified after Kavitha sent a confrontational letter to KCR and later reportedly explored talks with the BJP. Her public statements during Telangana Jagruthi’s office launch — where she called Jagruthi and BRS “KCR’s two eyes” — were widely interpreted as a declaration of independence.
Her remarks and the lavish office inauguration only fueled speculation that she may be eyeing a new political outfit. Furthermore, her alleged involvement in the Delhi liquor scam, which earned her the label “Liquor Queen” from opposition parties, continues to haunt BRS’s image after their recent Assembly election defeat.
Discipline Over Blood: KCR’s Line in the Sand
Despite their familial bond, KCR appears unfazed by personal ties, prioritizing party discipline over loyalty. Comparisons have even been drawn to Lord Krishna tallying Shishupala’s offenses, as KCR has remained silent — but watchful.
The formal announcement of her expulsion is expected after KTR returns from his overseas trip. With critical municipal polls, including the GHMC elections, on the horizon, the leadership is keen to restore party unity and focus on rebuilding public trust.
Base Reacts: Shock, Disbelief & Discontent
While many grassroots workers express shock at the internal meltdown, others criticize Kavitha for choosing confrontation over cooperation during a politically fragile time. Her perceived defiance amid party recovery efforts has left a sour taste among loyalists.
Analyst’s Verdict: “KCR Will Strike Back”
Political analyst Martha Subrahmanyam weighed in:
“The BRS is in one of its most turbulent phases. The leadership is under legal and political scrutiny. Kavitha’s behavior is not just rebellious — it’s radioactive. If any other leader had done this, they would’ve been removed long ago.”
Countdown to Expulsion
Though KCR has remained tight-lipped, the message from within the party is clear — no one is above the organization, not even family. Insiders confirm that Kavitha’s ouster is imminent, making it one of the most sensational intra-party fallouts in recent Telangana politics.
