It appears that the BRS has almost given up hope on the Jubilee Hills by-election results. The party is already struggling with internal conflicts, family issues of KCR, and lack of unity among local leaders. Adding to this, Kavitha seems to be creating fresh tension for the party. Speculation that she might contest the Jubilee Hills by-election is reportedly causing worry within BRS.
After quitting BRS, Kavitha is said to be preparing to launch a new political party. As part of this, she is reportedly considering testing her strength in Jubilee Hills. Political circles suggest that this could damage BRS, since every vote that goes to Kavitha would essentially be a vote taken away from BRS, potentially splitting the party’s vote bank.
Following her suspension, confusion and unease are clearly visible within the BRS ranks. Being a member of KCR’s family and a key leader, Kavitha’s exit is bound to have a political impact, according to a recent survey by Vota. Having gained popularity among the people through cultural programs like Bathukamma, Kavitha is expected to hurt BRS in the Jubilee Hills by-election.
Kavitha Determined to Prove Her Strength..!
Reliable sources suggest that Kavitha is planning to float a new political outfit under the name Telangana Jagruthi Party or Telangana Bahujana Rashtra Samithi (TBRS). In this context, her close aides say she is considering contesting the Jubilee Hills by-election. Even if she doesn’t contest herself, reports indicate she may field a candidate from Telangana Jagruthi.
Observers believe Kavitha now feels the need to prove her political strength, especially after her suspension. If she remains silent without demonstrating her influence, it could harm her political future, her Jagruthi intellectual supporters are said to have advised. Otherwise, the narrative that Kavitha is staging dramas to divert attention and shield KCR from the corruption stains of the Kaleshwaram project will only gain more traction among the public, which is why she seems to be targeting the Jubilee Hills by-election..
Meanwhile, Jagruthi teams are reportedly conducting ground-level surveys. This has further unsettled BRS leaders. At a meeting held on Wednesday at Telangana Bhavan with BRS leaders from the Rahmathnagar division, senior leaders reportedly expressed concern that, on top of existing problems, Kavitha is creating new headaches. Even though settlers have a strong presence in Jubilee Hills, BRS leaders fear that Kavitha may still damage their chances, as Jagruthi could draw significant support from traditional Telangana women voters.
Internal Factional Struggles on the Ground
On the other hand, factional differences between Maganti Sunitha and Maganti Vajranath groups, as well as the dissatisfaction of Ravula Sridhar Reddy, who was denied a ticket, are causing further trouble. In this situation, where political equations are already unfavorable, Kavitha’s role is adding to BRS’s tension. With internal fights, lack of coordination among local leaders, group rivalries, and Kavitha’s entry into the fray, BRS cadres are worried that the party has virtually lost hope in Jubilee Hills.
