Kavitha’s Letter to KCR Sparks Controversy, DK Aruna Alleges Political Ploy
Alleged Letter Ignites Political Storm
A six-page letter purportedly written by BRS MLC K. Kavitha to her father, BRS chief K. Chandrashekar Rao (KCR), on May 2, 2025, has triggered intense debate in Telangana’s political landscape. The letter, which critiques KCR’s leadership and the party’s strategic direction, has raised questions about its authenticity and intent, with no official confirmation from Kavitha’s office.
DK Aruna’s Sharp Critique
BJP National Vice-President and MP DK Aruna questioned the necessity of a daughter writing a public letter to her father, suggesting it could be a calculated move rather than a familial expression. She alleged that the letter’s release might be orchestrated to garner public sympathy and deflect attention from BRS’s internal challenges.
Suspicions of Congress Involvement
Aruna speculated that the Congress party, possibly in collusion with Kavitha, could be behind the letter’s circulation to weaken BRS and target BJP. She pointed to BRS’s decision not to field a candidate in recent MLC elections, interpreting it as tacit support for Congress, and suggested a broader political strategy at play.
Accusations of Strategic Missteps
The letter reportedly criticizes KCR’s perceived soft stance toward BJP and lack of clarity on potential alliances, particularly during BRS’s silver jubilee event. Aruna countered that public trust in BJP is growing, dismissing BRS and Congress as faltering alternatives in Telangana’s political arena.
Claims of Political Maneuvering
Aruna further alleged that Kavitha’s ties with Congress leaders, including Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, and past business dealings indicate a coordinated effort to mislead voters. She questioned how a private letter became public, hinting at a deliberate attempt to tarnish BJP’s image while asserting that such tactics would fail.
BJP’s Confidence in Electoral Prospects
Dismissing any possibility of a BRS-BJP alliance, Aruna emphasized that BJP’s rising popularity in Telangana would ensure its electoral success. She claimed that public disillusionment with BRS and Congress positions BJP as the preferred alternative, undeterred by alleged political conspiracies.
