Legal Victory and Political Resentment: After two years of intense legal battles in the Delhi Liquor Scam, Kalvakuntla Kavitha has finally received a clean chit. While her supporters are celebrating, there is a visible sense of unease within the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS). Reports suggest that Kavitha feels deeply aggrieved by the party leadership’s perceived lack of support during her incarceration. Her associates claim that instead of standing by her, the party distanced itself under the pretext of legal complications, leaving her to fight the battle alone.
The Rift Between Siblings: The tension between Kavitha and her brother, BRS Working President K.T. Rama Rao (KTR), has come to the forefront. KTR’s recent tweet describing the acquittal as a victory against a “political conspiracy” has been criticized by Kavitha’s camp. They argue that the party remained silent during her character assassination on social media and is now only trying to claim political credit for the legal victory. This internal friction has reportedly led Kavitha to believe that she no longer has a future within the current structure of the BRS.
Speculations of a New Political Party: Boosted by the clean chit and a wave of local sympathy, rumors are rife that Kavitha is planning to launch her own political party within the next two months. She reportedly aims to tap into the “Telangana Pride” sentiment and consolidate disgruntled BRS leaders and her loyal cadre. Analysts warn that such a move could severely split the BRS vote bank, particularly in North Telangana. If she transitions from a defensive legal battle to an offensive political mode, it could mark a significant shift in the state’s power dynamics as she seeks to prove her individual political mettle.
