A day after her suspension from the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), senior leader K Kavitha on Wednesday announced her resignation from the party and from her post as Member of the Legislative Council (MLC), reported PTI. Kavitha, who is the daughter of party chief K Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR), also launched a scathing attack on her cousin and former minister T Harish Rao, accusing him of conspiring against the KCR family.

The forty-seven-year-old leader, who had been an integral part of the party and its political campaigns, stated that there was pressure on her father to take action against her. She accused Harish Rao of working with Telangana Chief Minister (CM) Revanth Reddy to undermine the BRS and the KCR family.

“I never aspired for any posts,” Kavitha told reporters during a press conference, adding that she was sending her resignation to the legislative council chairman and the BRS President. She also claimed that her brother, KT Rama Rao (KTR), the BRS Working President, was being targeted by Harish Rao’s alleged conspiracies, PTI reported.
