Kavitha unveils new political outfit TRS
Telangana Jagruthi president and former CM K Chandrasekhar Rao’s daughter, K Kavitha, on Saturday launched a political outfit, named ‘Telangana Rashtra Sena’ (TRS).
Kavitha, who announced her party’s name and agenda at an event, sharply attacked the ruling Congress, BJP and BRS, describing her father as a “changed man” who has become “soulless”. The Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS), headed by her father, was originally named Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS). However, it was renamed as BRS in 2022 following KCR’s ambitious plan to expand the party nationwide.
Alleging that the BRS, Congress and BJP are now riddled with corruption, “family rule” and favouritism, she announced ‘Panchajanya’, a set of five promises, including free education and health.
Launching an attack on Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, she described him as “Hitler” and a heartless person. She cited the demolitions of houses at Velugumatla in Khammam district, alleged deaths of students in social welfare residential schools and also a Dalit youth in police custody.
Training her guns on the BJP, Kavitha alleged that the party did not favour the formation of Telangana and opposed the concept of social justice.
In a veiled reference to PM Narendra Modi’s alleged comments in the past, she said the party’s top leadership had stated that the mother (Andhra) was killed to give birth to a child (Telangana), which is insulting to Telangana.
She also referred to BJP MP Tejasvi Surya’s recent comments in parliament and claimed that he compared the division of undivided AP as Telangana and Andhra with the country’s partition in 1947. She said she challenges the eight BJP MPs from Telangana, “If they have any sense of shame”, to bring back five Telangana villages transferred to Andhra during State bifurcation.
Asserting that her party would come to power after the 2028 Assembly elections, she proposed ‘Panchajanya,’ which includes promises of free education, health, free power and other measures for farmers, recruitment of four lakh jobs with a “single notification,” and “social Telangana” with 50 per cent reservation for BCs in MP and MLA posts.
Kavitha was suspended from the BRS in September, 2025 after she accused her cousins and party leaders T Harish Rao and J Santosh Kumar of “tarnishing” her father and BRS president Chandrasekhar Rao’s image over the Kaleshwaram lift irrigation project built during the BRS regime. Since her suspension, she has been focusing on public issues under the banner of Telangana Jagruthi, a cultural organisation she heads.
