Kavitha’s Explosive Interview with TV5 Sparks Political Storm Within BRS
In a surprising political development, Kalvakuntla Kavitha, MLC and daughter of former Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao (KCR), gave an explosive interview to TV5’s Murthy—a move that raised eyebrows across political circles. What stood out even before the content of the interview was the platform she chose. TV5 is widely perceived to be critical of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), making Kavitha’s appearance on the channel particularly noteworthy.
This is reminiscent of a similar political moment when Y. S. Sharmila gave an interview to ABN Radhakrishna following her fallout with her brother and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy. Just as Sharmila’s interview signaled internal family discord spilling into public view, Kavitha’s interaction with TV5 seems to indicate a similar rupture within the influential Kalvakuntla political family.
Rift with KTR Acknowledged
In her candid conversation, Kavitha did not shy away from addressing the elephant in the room—her strained relationship with her brother, BRS Working President K. T. Rama Rao (KTR). She openly admitted that she and KTR are currently not on talking terms. Moreover, she drew a firm line by stating that she would only accept the leadership of her father, KCR, and no one else within the party.
Kavitha revealed that she had been the target of coordinated social media trolling, including memes and personal attacks. She pointed fingers at the BRS social media teams, implying that they operate entirely under KTR’s direction. “I requested my father to speak out strongly against these attacks, but I didn’t receive the support I expected,” she said, revealing a deep sense of betrayal and isolation within her own party.
Phone-Tapping Controversy
Perhaps the most shocking revelation came when Kavitha acknowledged that phone-tapping did, in fact, occur during the BRS regime. She claimed that not only her own phone but those of people around her were allegedly tapped—ironically, during the tenure of her own father as Chief Minister. This direct admission lends weight to ongoing allegations that have been leveled against the previous BRS administration.
Kavitha’s remarks have given fresh ammunition to the ruling Congress government in Telangana, which has already been probing into alleged surveillance abuses by the previous regime. There is growing speculation that the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) may soon summon her for questioning, making this more than just a family affair.
Fallout and Political Implications
Until now, both KCR and KTR have chosen to remain silent on Kavitha’s public statements, but the political consequences are escalating rapidly. What began as a private sibling rift has now escalated into a full-fledged political crisis within the BRS.
There is increasing chatter that Kavitha’s recent posturing—seen by some as indirectly aiding the Congress—has crossed a red line for the party leadership. Similar to how Jagan Mohan Reddy distanced himself from his sister Sharmila as she drifted politically, observers believe that the BRS leadership may soon be forced to cut ties with Kavitha formally.
With this interview, Kavitha has not only confirmed internal fractures in the BRS but has also significantly reshaped the political narrative in Telangana. Whether this leads to her complete ouster from the party remains to be seen—but one thing is clear: the once united Kalvakuntla family is now at the center of one of Telangana’s most high-stakes political dramas.Read more
