PTC News Desk: Telangana leader K Kavitha on Wednesday announced her resignation from the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), a day after being suspended from the party. She cautioned her brother KT Rama Rao against trusting their cousins T Harish Rao and J Santosh Rao, and urged her father, K Chandrasekhar Rao, to carefully assess the real motives of those around him. 

“KCR garu and KTR garu are my family. We are bound by blood… This bond should not break over reasons like suspension from the party or losing posts. But some people want our family to disintegrate for their personal and political growth," she said.

Kavitha was suspended on Tuesday on charges of indiscipline and “anti-party” activities. She alleged that the CBI’s probe into her father was triggered by corruption involving her cousins, and claimed that some BRS leaders with vested interests pressured KCR into suspending her. 

“I appeal to my father to understand the true intentions of those close to him… They have fractured the BRS family for their own gains,” she said.

While she warned KT Rama Rao against the cousins and BRS leaders, she also expressed displeasure with KTR “not bothering” when she flagged concerns and an alleged plot against her within the party.

"I told him about the conspiracies and the false campaign against me. I requested him, not even as a sister, at least as an MLC of our party, but he did not bother. He didn’t even call me. This happened long back. As the Working President, as a party MLC, I complained about these conspiracies. Did you take any action on this, Anna? Did you even speak a single word about it?” K Kavitha added.
