Hyderabad: BRS MLC K Kavitha on Friday set the political circles abuzz after a letter addressed to her father and BRS supremo K Chandrashekar Rao was indeed confirmed to be from her. In the six-page handwritten letter to KCR, she made pointed comments about her party's functioning and her father's leadership style, questioning his perceived 'soft stance' towards the BJP as well as the issue of 'selective access' to party leaders.
In the letter written on May 2, Kavitha urged the BRS supremo to convene a two-day plenary session to listen to grassroots voices and re-energize the cadre. "Kindly reach out to everyone," she advised KCR.
Notably, Kavitha began the letter by addressing the former chief minister informally as "Daddy," congratulating him on the success of the silver jubilee meeting held in Warangal on April 27.
Kavitha returned to Hyderabad on Friday after completing her US tour to attend her son's graduation. Speaking to the media outside the airport, she provided clarification about the controversial letter. "It's true that I wrote the letter. I wrote it two weeks ago. I have explained many times about the internal conspiracies happening in the party, yet no change was visible. That's why I had to convey it through a letter," she said.
Expressing dissatisfaction about the letter being leaked, she clarified, "The letters I wrote before never came out. I don't know how this letter got leaked. We need to find out who leaked it."
Alleging that conspiracies by certain party members are the root cause of problems, Kavitha added, "I don't have personal hatred against anyone, nor do I have a personal agenda. But one thing is true our leader is KCR. KCR is my god. There are some demons around him who are causing huge damage to the party."
In an interesting development, her followers gave her a grand welcome at Hyderabad's Shamshabad Airport, raising loud slogans chanting "CM... CM."
