Former Lok Sabha MP K. Kavitha is all set to contest the next Assembly polls in Telangana due in 2028, declaring that “the rest is a technicality” when asked about the nature of her proposed new political outfit.
Currently on a yatra across all 33 districts of Telangana, under the aegis of a non-political organisation, Telangana Jagruti, founded by her during the movement for a separate State, she told The Hindu, “I do want to contest the next assembly polls, the rest (party name, nature) of it is all technicality.”
She said that she had no contact with family members, including her father, former Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhara Rao, since her suspension. “Neither have I reached out, nor has anyone reached out to me,” she said, adding that she had been punished for “speaking the truth” about the “vested interests” that she said led to Mr. Rao’s name appearing in a CBI case related to graft.

“Why is KCR’s name in CBI today? It is because of a few people with vested interests. I know my father, he’s fundamentally not the kind of person who would overlook such mistakes. I pointed out some of these mistakes, a reason perhaps why one of my cousins was not reappointed as a minister in the second term of our government. So, he (KCR) did try to control them, but the mishaps are huge and somebody needs to be held accountable. That is what I was flagging,” she said.
