During the protest at Hyderabad’s Indira Park, no BRS leaders had been a part of the protest occasion and social gathering flags had been conspicuously absent. The social gathering has been avoiding Kavitha’s programmes ever since she took up the ‘Samajika Telangana’ (Telangana for social justice) trigger on May 1.

On May 2, she wrote a letter to her father elevating a number of essential points, corresponding to allegations of a proposed merger with the Bharatiya Janata social gathering and asserted that she would resist any such transfer.

“Wednesday’s dharna opposing summons to KCR on the Kaleshwaram project issue is obviously an attempt to create a narrative that she is the true political heir of her father and expose the other party leaders, including her brother KT Rama Rao, who did not take up any protests even if the state government is targeting KCR,” stated political analyst Syed Zakir.

Meanwhile, Kavitha stated that the Congress authorities had constituted the judicial fee headed by Justice Ghose solely to politically goal KCR. “It is not the Kaleshwaram Commission, but a Congress Commission as the inquiry is not about accountability, but about political defamation,” she stated.

The Telangana Jagruthi president stated issuing notices to KCR, who was instrumental in reaching Telangana’s statehood, amounted to issuing notices to the whole inhabitants of the state.

Kavitha claimed that the KLIP was a transformative effort that introduced water to hundreds of thousands of acres throughout the state. “The project is not confined to just three barrages, but comprises 21 pump houses, 15 reservoirs, 200 km of tunnels, and 1,500 km of canal network,” she asserted.

The Telangana Congress refuted the allegations levelled by Kavitha on the Kaleshwaram fee issuing summons to KCR for questioning. “The BRS leader is resorting to high drama only for her political survival,” senior Congress chief and state BC welfare minister Ponnam Prabhakar stated.

He stated that the Ghosh fee has the authority to summon anybody for inquiry. “It’s up to the commission to decide whom to summon. We are not opposing the construction of projects for providing water for irrigation. But the BRS leaders looted Telangana’s wealth in the name of Kaleshwaram project,” he alleged.
