K Kavitha, Member of the Legislative Council and daughter of Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) chief K Chandrasekhar Rao, was suspended from the party on Tuesday for alleged anti-party activities. The decision came after Kavitha publicly accused senior BRS leaders, including Minister T Harish Rao and former Rajya Sabha MP Joginapally Santosh Kumar, of conspiring to damage KCR’s reputation.

The party issued an official statement on X, saying, “The party leadership is taking this matter seriously as the recent behaviour and ongoing anti-party activities of party MLC Smt. K. Kavitha are damaging the BRS party. Party President Sri K. Chandrasekhar Rao has taken a decision to suspend Smt. K. Kavitha from the party with immediate effect.”

This development follows Kavitha’s explosive allegations linking Harish Rao and Santosh Kumar to the CBI probe into the Kaleshwaram project. On Monday, after the Telangana government announced a CBI investigation into alleged irregularities in the project, Kavitha alleged that the two leaders were “conspiring” against her and KCR. She claimed, “If KCR’s image is tainted in the Kaleshwaram issue, the reason is Harish Rao and Santosh Rao. Behind them is Revanth Reddy. Despite several conspiracies against me, I endured.”

Kavitha further defended her father, stating, “KCR never thinks about food or money. People will remember the Kaleshwaram project for 200 years to come. It is tragic that a great leader like KCR is now facing a CBI probe.”

The Revanth Reddy-led Telangana government has constituted a commission headed by former Supreme Court judge Justice Pinaki Chandra Ghose to examine alleged irregularities, corruption, and misuse of funds in the construction of the Medigadda, Annaram, and Sundilla barrages under the Kaleshwaram project.
