Amid growing signs of internal strife within the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), party president K Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR) on Monday dispatched senior leaders to meet his daughter and BRS MLC K Kavitha, breaking days of silence over the rift, the Times of India reported.
BRS MP D Damodar Rao and the party’s legal cell head Gandra Mohan Rao met Kavitha at her residence in Hyderabad for a three-hour closed-door discussion.
Citing sources, ToI said that the emissaries advised her to address grievances through internal party mechanisms and avoid public expressions of dissent, referring to a letter she had earlier written to KCR that was later leaked to the media.
Upon her return from the US, Kavitha had reportedly heightened tensions by calling KCR “god” surrounded by “devils.” During the meeting, she allegedly demanded an investigation into the leak of her letter and called for the removal of certain individuals from KCR’s inner circle, whom she again referred to as “devils.”
The report further said that Kavitha conveyed her willingness to work under KCR's leadership if she was given her due role within the party.
She also demanded action against party members and supporters who, she claimed, were maligning her on social media. Displaying screenshots, she reportedly asked, “So far I am tolerating insults only for KCR.”
Kavitha grew emotional during the discussion, reiterating her respect for her father while blaming those close to him for creating division. She also requested a personal meeting with KCR to present her case.
Kavitha took to social media platform X to denounce the ACB notices issued to KTR, describing them as politically driven. “I strongly condemn the Revanth Reddy government issuing notices to KTR. It is a conspiracy to cover up their failures and divert attention from public issues,” She wrote.
“KCR’s soldiers have a history of standing firm no matter who tries to cause them any trouble,” she added.
