Internal bickerings in BRS: KCR 'god', surrounded by devils, says daughter Kavitha
Hyderabad, May 23 (PTI): The internal differences within BRS came to the fore on Friday with party MLC K Kavitha taking exception to the letter she wrote to her father and party president K Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR) getting leaked.
She also said some conspiracies are taking place in the party. KCR is like god who is surrounded by some devils, she said.
Speaking to reporters at the RGI airport here Friday evening after returning from the US, she wondered how an internal letter became public.
"Two weeks ago, I had written a letter to KCR ji. I had expressed my opinions to him earlier through letters. I had recently said that conspiracies are taking place. The letter written by me internally to KCR ji became public. All of us in the party and Telangana people have to think about what is happening," she said.
She further said she had only expressed in her letter, after touring half of Telangana, what people are thinking and that she does not have any personal agenda.
It needs to be thought about as to who is behind her letter becoming public, she said.
Asked who is making the conspiracy that she talked about, she said: "KCR ji is a god. But, there are some devils around him. Lot of damage is being caused because of them. I am KCR's daughter. If the letter written by me internally became public, there should be a debate about the fate of others in the party," she said.
She regularly gives such feedback to the party supremo, Kavitha added.
Referring to Congress and BJP leaders' comments on the internal affairs of BRS in the aftermath of her letter getting leaked, Kavitha asserted that Rao is her leader.
BRS would move ahead under KCR's leadership and the party would flourish for long if the "small defects" within the party are corrected and the leaders who covertly help other parties are removed, she said.
Alleging that both Congress and BJP have failed Telangana, she said KCR's leadership is the alternative to them.
A handwritten "feedback" letter written by Kavitha to her father KCR, highlighting both the negative and positive aspects of the party's recent public meeting at Warangal, has sparked discussions in Telangana's political circles.
"As you ( KCR) spoke for just two minutes, some people began speculating that there will be a tie-up with the BJP in future. I even felt that you should have spoken strongly (against the BJP). It might be because I suffered (because of the BJP). But you should have targeted the BJP some more, Daddy," Kavitha mentioned in the letter written in Telugu and English.
The BRS celebrated its Silver Jubilee on April 27 in Warangal.
Kavitha cited Rao's silence in the meeting on key issues such as 42 per cent reservation for backward classes, Scheduled Castes categorisation, Waqf Amendment Act, and omission of Urdu from his address as reasons for the negative feedback.
In the letter, she further said the Congress government has lost its support among the grassroots, and some BRS cadres now view the BJP as a viable alternative.
Kavitha added that a strong signal was sent to the party workers when the BRS chose not to contest the recent MLC elections, suggesting they might align with the BJP.

Rahul Gandhi demands 'clean, pure' voter list; says 'vote theft' issue will explode soon

New Delhi (PTI): Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday said the Opposition is protesting for the right to vote for every Indian and demanded a "clean and pure" voter list, asserting that the issue of alleged irregularities pointed out by him will "explode" soon as it is not related to a single constituency but the whole country.
Indicating that he would not submit a signed affidavit as sought by the Election Commission, Gandhi asserted that the data analysed by the Congress to provide "proof" of "vote theft" is taken from the EC website.
"This is their data. It is not my data that I should sign. It is their data only and has been taken from their website. This is only a move to distract," he told reporters.
The Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, who participated in a protest march by the opposition on the "vote theft" issue, said the Election Commission is "silent" as the truth is before the entire nation after his charge that over one lakh votes in an assembly constituency in Karnataka were found to be fake in a research conducted by his party.
"Another thing I want to tell is that this has not just happened in Bangalore, but in different constituencies across the country, and the Election Commission knows this. The EC knows that this data will explode. What it is trying to control and hide, we will bring it out, and it will explode. The EC knows this," he told reporters.
Gandhi was briefly detained along with others as police stopped the protest march by opposition MPs from Parliament House to the EC office.
"They (EC) cannot talk as the truth is before the entire nation," the Congress leader said as he was being taken away in a bus by the police.
"This fight is not political, but for saving the Constitution," he asserted.
This fight is for 'one man, one vote' and we want a clean, pure voter list," the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha added.
He said all the MPs of the INDIA alliance were stopped and taken into custody when they were going to meet the Election Commission.
"The truth of 'vote theft' is now before the country. This fight is not political; it is a fight to protect democracy, the Constitution, and the right to ‘one person, one vote’.
"The united opposition and every voter in the country demand a clean and transparent voter list. And, we will secure this right at all costs," Gandhi claimed in a post on X later.
Gandhi had on Thursday cited data from the 2024 Lok Sabha polls to claim that over 1 lakh votes were "stolen" through five types of manipulation in Mahadevapura assembly segment in Karnataka. He alleged there were 11,965 duplicate voters, 40,009 with fake and invalid addresses, 10,452 bulk voters or single-address voters, 4,132 voters with invalid photos and 33,692 voters misusing Form 6 of new voters.
