Hyderabad: Telangana Jagruthi president K Kavita on Monday hit out at her father and former chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao-led Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) party, alleging corruption in Telangana during its regime and also called the BRS constitution a ‘joke’. Speaking in the Legislative Council, Kavitha, who was often overcome by emotions, also said she was not party to certain unpopular decisions during the BRS rule. Kavitha, who submitted resignation from the post of MLC soon after her suspension from BRS in September last year, urged the Council Chairman Gutha Sukhender Reddy to accept her resignation.
Recalling the events related to her suspension from BRS, she said the Disciplinary Action Committee of the party which suspended her came into existence overnight and that no procedures like issuing a show cause notice were followed. “They cited a Disciplinary Action Committee. The Constitution of BRS which wants to work at the national level is an eight page Constitution. I am saying courageously today– the Constitution of the BRS party is a joke,” she said.
Claiming no procedures were followed in her suspension, she said, “this is definitely not the way to run a party”. Alleging corruption in construction of Collectorate buildings during the BRS regime, led by her father KCR, she said the ones in Siddipet and Siricilla were inundated due to heavy rains. “They took the corruption taking place in government to his notice. From Amar Jyoti, Ambedkar statue, Secretariat to Collectorates, it is true that corruption took place. The biggest example for this is the two Collectorates which were flooded when the first rain occurred after their construction,” Kavitha said.
