Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader K. Kavitha on Monday announced that she is forming a new political party. Kavitha, a former MP, is the daughter of former Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao (KCR). She said her organisation, Telangana Jagruthi, will contest the 2029 Assembly elections and made it clear that she will not return to the BRS founded by her father.
Kavitha said Telangana Jagruthi will enter electoral politics, though the final name of the party is yet to be decided.
She was expelled from the BRS on September 2 over allegations of anti-party activities.
During a visit to Jogulamba Gadwal district, Kavitha said the new party will focus on public participation and the protection of Telangana’s culture.
