Kavitha vows to expose coverts in BRS
Hyderabad: BRS MLC Kalvakuntla Kavitha on Friday said that merging or joining hands with the BJP would amount to admitting her involvement in the Delhi liquor scam. Her comments came a day after she claimed that discussions regarding the BRS-BJP merger took place when she was in jail. She asserted that any party joining hands with the BJP has no future. "My only concern is to protect my party — BRS — from any such attempts and from coverts within the party," she said. When asked, Kavitha said she was not expecting any disciplinary action from the BRS, including expulsion, for her comments during a press meet on Thursday or her 'feedback letter'. Kavitha said that she had not crossed the party lines. Addressing the media at the Mancherial district headquarters on Friday, Kavitha reiterated to expose the names of the persons who leaked her 'feedback letter' addressed to her father and BRS chief K Chandrasekhar Rao. The MLC clarified that she has no intention to float a new political party and that her aim is solely to safeguard the BRS. The MLC also slammed the Congress party for insulting the Dalit MP from Peddapalli by violating protocol during Saraswathi Pushkarams. "Revanth Reddy also insulted the deputy chief minister at Yadagirigutta temple earlier," she said. Kavitha announced that she would organise a BC round table in the Adilabad district soon. Commenting on Operation Kagar, Kavitha accused the BJP govt of handling it in an inhumane manner by not handing over Nambala Keshava Rao's body to his family members. She demanded the BJP govt to halt the operation immediately. Meanwhile, BRS leaders from Mancherial stayed away from her during her tour of Mancherial. Only Telangana Jagruthi leaders met her and participated in the private programmes. In a press meet at Suryapet, BRS leader and ex-minister G Jagadish Reddy said the BRS has no plan to merge the party with the BJP, now or in the future. He stated that the pink party would fight the elections independently and that KCR would become chief minister for a third time.

Kavitha, Raja Singh comments prove BRS, BJP secret partners: TPCC chief
Hyderabad: Telangana Congress president B Mahesh Kumar Goud on Friday said the allegations of BRS MLC K Kavitha and later by BJP senior MLA T Raja Singh on BJP-BRS merger efforts vindicated the Congress' stand that BRS and BJP are secret partners, and the pink party helped the BJP in the Lok Sabha and MLC elections. Mahesh Goud also demanded that Union minister G Kishan Reddy reply to allegations made by Raja Singh that some leaders in the saffron party were ready to support BRS-BJP merger in return for a "big package". Alleging that former CM K Chandrasekhar Rao has revived ties with former BRS miniter Eatala Rajender, now a BJP MP, in the backdrop of notices in the Kaleshwaram irrigation probe, the TPCC chief said: "It is learnt that BRS MLA and former irrigation minister T Harish Rao met Rajender at a farmhouse, following which KCR spoke to Eatala over phone." He accused Eatala of working for the BRS while being in BJP and asked him to make his stand clear if that was not the case. The TPCC president said that even if the BRS and BJP merged, there would be no impact on the Congress. "The BRS already scored a zero in Lok Sabha elections and the BJP tally of 8 MPs will remain the same even if there was a merger. The Congress is enjoying the confidence of the people due to its welfare schemes," he said.
