Kavitha unsure about political leap

The political future of former MP and Telangana Jagruthi leader, MLC Kavitha, has become one of the most closely watched stories in Telangana politics. Since resigning from the BRS and running activities under her own Telangana Jagruthi banner, Kavitha is reportedly still undecided about whether to launch a new political party. Speculation grew after talks with leaders like former MLA Vishnuvardhan Reddy hinted that she might contest the upcoming Jubilee Hills bypolls. Her recent media statements also give insight into her inner deliberations.

Indecision over a new party Kavitha has not made a final decision on forming a new party, with multiple factors at play. Observers suggest she is weighing the financial and political challenges of launching a party or possibly waiting for some positive signal from BRS. Some even believe she may still hope to rejoin the party despite her current distance from her father, KCR. Concerns about political risks and potential defeat might also be causing her hesitation.

She clarified that she holds no personal grudge against BRS leader Harish Rao, noting that recent attacks on her have come primarily through social media by leaders like Harish Rao and Santosh. She highlighted that the public is aware of these online assaults. On the political front, she remains committed to fighting for BC reservations and has warned of protests if the government delays decisions. She also said she requested the council chairman to accept her MLC resignation and emphasized that multiple parties in a democracy are a healthy sign. Kavitha is expected to attend the Bathukamma celebrations in Chintamadaka this Sunday.

Criticism of the Congress government Through Telangana Jagruthi, Kavitha has been vocal against the Congress government, especially on water projects like Kaleshwaram and Almatti. She criticized the state for not challenging Karnataka’s Almatti water decisions in the Supreme Court and said Telangana Jagruthi is ready to fight legally if the government fails to act. She also demanded the removal of Adityanath Das, appointed as an advisor on Andhra water issues, claiming it could harm Telangana. Kavitha has called for distribution of Bathukamma sarees to Mahilas and warned that protests could target ministers’ residences and even the CM’s house if BC reservation decisions are not implemented. She has not revealed any candidate preference for the Jubilee Hills bypoll yet.

Staying connected to KCR’s legacy Before forming any party, Kavitha said she had discussions with hundreds of leaders, just as her father KCR did. She highlighted that she wants to work for all people, not just one community, and feels strongly about BC issues, which motivated her political activism.

New political alignments Kavitha’s statement, “In politics, no one gives you space; you have to fight for it,” reflects her determination. Despite criticism from BRS leaders, she assured that the public is watching her moves. While she is not joining any party and hasn’t been approached formally, she noted that several leaders are visiting her, signaling that she may be open to new alliances.

Overall, Kavitha appears to be navigating a quiet but determined political battle. Whether she fully separates from BRS, starts her own party, or eventually returns, her next move will have a significant impact on Telangana’s political landscape.
