BRS suspends MLC K Kavitha over ‘anti-party activities’

The BRS on Tuesday suspended K Kavitha over alleged anti-party activities. The party posted in a tweet: "The party leadership is taking this matter seriously as the recent behavior and ongoing anti-party activities of party MLC K. Kavitha are damaging the BRS party. Party President K. Chandrasekhar Rao has taken a decision to suspend K. Kavitha from the party with immediate effect."

This comes after K Kavitha had on Monday triggered a storm in the party by accusing her cousins and BRS leaders -- T Harish Rao and J Santosh Kumar -- of "amassing assets and having a tacit understanding" with Chief Minister A



Revanth Reddy to tarnish the image of her father K Chandrasekhar Rao.

Kavitha's attacks on Harish Rao and Santosh Kumar came after the Congress government decided to order a CBI probe into the alleged irregularities in the Kaleshwaram project, which was built during the BRS regime.

Addressing reporters, she said, "We (BRS cadre) have to think why the taint of corruption came to KCR. Some who are close to KCR have benefited in many ways by making use of his name. KCR's name is getting defamed today because of their misdeeds. How can the party move ahead if the same persons are encouraged."
