Kalvakuntla Kavitha’s recent year-end interview has turned into a political earthquake for the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS). As 2025 begins, her statements have pushed the party into intense debate, criticism, and internal tension. The interview, which she gave to a news agency through a podcast format, addressed sensitive topics like party leadership, internal treatment towards her, and alleged surveillance. These revelations have now become a significant discussion point in Telangana politics, raising questions about the future of the party and its political direction.
Kavitha highlighted that although her suspension from the BRS was aimed at sidelining her, it instead turned into an opportunity to expose what she believes are internal issues. She claimed that while the party attempted to shock her, she has been giving reverse shocks constantly. Her viewpoint reflects a sense of betrayal, hinting that the treatment she faced inside the party was not only unexpected but strategically planned to corner her. According to her, the year-end has not been a time of silence but a moment of counterattack.
Allegations on Internal Politics and Leadership Treatment
One of the most impactful sections of her interview revolved around K.T. Rama Rao (KTR). Kavitha directly stated that she contributed more to the party’s rise than she was recognized for. Referring to her early involvement, she recalled founding Telangana Jagruthi in 2006 and participating in the Telangana movement independently, while KTR entered the party directly from the United States. She expressed disappointment that after the party came to power, the behavior of certain leaders changed, and she felt she was being pushed away intentionally. The suggestion that she was cornered not because of her performance but because of internal dynamics carries symbolic political weight. She also questioned how the party would react if the same allegations of phone tapping were applied to KTR’s wife, demanding equal accountability.
Phone Tapping Concerns and SIT Investigation
The most explosive allegation came when Kavitha spoke about phone-tapping incidents. She claimed that SIT issued notices to a worker employed in her house, which made her realize that calls from her phone, her husband’s phone, and even domestic workers were tapped. She questioned if women in politics are being treated unfairly because they choose to be active and visible in public life. Her comment that women who fought for the country in history never received powerful positions reflects her frustration towards long-standing gender bias in Indian political structures.
Struggle of Women in Politics and Leadership Bias
Kavitha accused the party leadership of ignoring women’s representation when opportunities were available. She pointed out that when KCR appointed chairmen for 42 corporations, not even one woman was given a chance. She claims she questioned KCR on the same day, demanding why not even a single qualified woman activist deserved a position. She expressed anger and emotional pain for women who devoted their lives to activism but were not rewarded. Through this, Kavitha indicates that her criticism is not only personal but also ideological in favor of women’s leadership.
Statements Against Harish Rao and the Political Impact
Another strong remark came when she spoke about Harish Rao. She referred to him as the “BRS Chandrababu,” a metaphor suggesting that his political thinking aligns closer to strategic control than emotional party loyalty. This statement created instant discussions in political circles, as Chandrababu is known for strong planning and decision-making. Her labeling of Harish Rao reshaped the public perception of their internal equations and added more heat to the political scenario.
A Year-End That Turned into the Beginning of a New War
Kavitha’s interview has clearly become a turning point instead of a conclusion. What many expected to be a routine year-end commentary transformed into a declaration of political war. With the new year ahead, she seems more aggressive, more vocal, and ready to challenge the party she once represented with pride. If her statements are a signal of what is coming, it looks like 2025 is going to witness intense clashes between her and the BRS leadership.
Kavitha’s year-end shocker has now become a crucial political headline in Telangana. Her allegations, statements, and emotional outbursts reflect a deeper conflict that is not just about positions or power but about identity, recognition, and respect. With political analysts watching closely, the coming months may define whether she forms a new political path or disrupts the existing one. Either way, one thing is clear—the chapter is far from over, and this interview might be just the first page of a much bigger political story.
