K Kavitha Suspended | The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) on Tuesday suspended party MLC K Kavitha, citing her “recent behaviour” and “ongoing anti-party activities.” Party president K Chandrasekhar Rao took the decision with immediate effect, the BRS said in a statement.
“The party leadership is taking this matter seriously as the recent behaviour and ongoing anti-party activities of party MLC K Kavitha are damaging the BRS party. Party president K Chandrasekhar Rao has taken a decision to suspend K. Kavitha from the party with immediate effect,” the BRS statement read.
The decision came hours after Kavitha levelled serious allegations against her cousins — former irrigation minister T Harish Rao and former MP J Santosh Rao — accusing them of amassing huge assets while making her father a scapegoat in the alleged Kaleshwaram lift irrigation project scam.

Kavitha alleged that there was no meaning in the existence of the BRS when party president KCR was made an accused in the CBI probe into alleged irregularities in the Kaleshwaram project. “When KCR is forced to face a CBI inquiry, does it even matter whether the BRS survives or not?” she asked.

She directly blamed Harish Rao and Santosh Rao for corruption in the project. “It was Harish Rao and Santosh Rao who handled key aspects of the project. They accumulated huge assets blinding KCR. They are the anacondas of corruption,” she alleged.
Kavitha had been under pressure in the party after her arrest by the CBI in the Delhi liquor policy case. She was jailed for nearly six months, from March 16 to August 24, 2024. After a four-month hiatus from active politics, she re-emerged and began championing the cause of OBCs independently, which reportedly displeased the BRS leadership.
