Speaking to reporters in Hyderabad, Kavitha said she was sending a letter to KCR stating that she was quitting the BRS and a separate letter to the state legislative council chairman resigning from her MLC seat.

Kavitha accused her cousins - former minister T Harish Rao and former Rajya Sabha member Joginapalli Santosh Rao of conspiring against her and bringing pressure on her father KCR to sack her from the party.

“My suspension from the BRS is part of a larger conspiracy hatched by Harish Rao to create a rift within my family and ultimately take control of the party reins. Today, I was thrown out of the party; next, it could be my brother K T Rama Rao (BRS working president) and finally, my father KCR,” she alleged.
