In a move that marks the final chapter of her association with her father’s party, the Telangana Legislative Council Chairman Gutha Sukhender Reddy has officially accepted the resignation of K Kavitha. According to a notification released late Tuesday night, her departure from the council membership is effective as of January 6.
Kavitha, who was elected from the Nizamabad Local Authorities' Constituency in 2021, had actually tendered her resignation back in September last year. However, the request sat in limbo for months until she took to the floor of the Council this past Sunday to demand it be finalised. Her speech during that session was nothing short of a scorched-earth critique of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS). The young leader did not mince her words, and from terming the constitution of the party as "joke" to accusing all-round corruption during the tenure of her father K Chandrasekhar Rao as Chief Minister, she left nothing unsaid.
This was the month when things came to a head between Kavitha and the BRS leadership in September 2025. She was suspended from the party after publicly accusing her cousins — T Harish Rao and J Santosh Kumar — of damaging KCR’s legacy, particularly regarding the controversial Kaleshwaram irrigation project. During her recent Council address, she further distanced herself from the past administration, claiming she had no part in the "unpopular" decisions that eventually led to the party's electoral decline.
With her legislative role now officially over, Kavitha appears to be doubling down on her own independent path. She has shifted her focus toward public advocacy through her cultural organisation, Telangana Jagruti, and has already signaled her intent to field candidates under a new political platform in the next assembly elections. By severing this final tie, she has effectively cleared the deck for a direct challenge against both the ruling Congress and her former colleagues in the BRS.
