Hyderabad: In a major development, Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) MLC and Telangana Jagruti president K Kavitha has been suspended from the party on Tuesday, September 2.
The party leadership took the decision a day after Kavitha accused her cousin and former irrigation minister T Harish Rao of orchestrating a plot to ‘frame’ her father and former chief minister K Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) in the PC Ghose commission of inquiry on the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation project.
“Due to the recent conduct and continued anti-party activities of party MLC Smt. K. Kavitha, which are causing damage to the BRS party, the party leadership has taken this matter very seriously.”
“Party president K Chandrashekar Rao has decided to immediately suspend K Kavitha from the party,” a release from the party read.
She also named party leader and former Rajya Sabha MP J Santosh Kumar and Megha Engineering and Infrastructure MD Krishna Reddy, for playing important roles in the alleged irregularities and putting the blame on the BRS supremo.
“KCR is being scapegoated. It was Harish Rao and Santosh Kumar who handled key aspects of the project. They accumulated huge assets blinding KCR,” she alleged, adding, the BRS leaders were conspiring with chief minister A Revanth Reddy.
