Tensions In BRS: KCR Suspends Daughter K Kavitha For Anti-Party Activity

Telangana lawmaker K Kavitha has been suspended from the Bharat Rashtra Samithi - the party run by her father and former Chief Minister, K Chandrashekar Rao - after she publicly blamed senior BRS leader T Harish Rao, her cousin, for the federal investigation against KCR, as her father is called. In a statement Tuesday afternoon, BRS leaders T Ravinder Rao and Soma Bharat Kumar said action had been taken against K Kavitha over recent comments seen as "anti-party". "Party leadership is taking this matter seriously as recent behaviour and ongoing anti-party activities of MLC K Kavitha are damaging the BRS," the party said on X, "Therefore, party President K Chandrasekhar Rao has decided to suspend K Kavitha with immediate effect."
