Months After BRS Exit, K Kavitha Launches New Party, Names It TRS

Former Telangana chief minister K Chandrashekar Rao (KCR)'s daughter Kalvakuntla Kavitha has launched her new political party, Telangana Rashtra Sena (TRS), marking her decisive and final split from the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) led by her father. Surrounded by a sea of supporters, Kavita unveiled the party's name, flag and agenda at a private venue in Munirabad in Medchal district. Sources suggest that Kavitha was keen to retain the 'TRS' acronym, which is rooted in the Telangana identity struggle and aspiration, and focuses on state-specific issues. Nearly 50,000 supporters travelled from the 33 districts of Telangana to attend the event, held on a sprawling 20-acre ground named after Professor K Jayashankar, a key figure in the Telangana movement. Kavitha had resigned from the BRS and as an MLC on September 3, 2025, following her suspension for alleged anti-party activities.
