Hyderabad, November 27 – Telangana Jagruthi president K. Kavitha said on Friday that the BRS lost the elections due to the arrogance of its leaders and the party's failure to keep its promises.
She was responding to a post by her brother and Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president K. T. Rama Rao after she was acquitted by a Delhi court in the Delhi excise policy case.
"Am I responsible for the loss?" Kavitha asked while interacting with the media.
She said that the reason for the BRS's defeat was its failure to provide jobs and houses as promised, as well as giving tickets again to "corrupt individuals." "Most importantly, your arrogant approach led to the party's defeat," said the daughter of BRS president and former chief minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR).
"You are living in denial, my brother; accept the truth. To do politics, you need courage. In politics, you must also accept defeat. Understand what happened during the elections. Take appropriate steps," she said.
Kavitha remarked that KTR is trying to interpret the court order in their favor. She said it was not proper on his part to blame her for the party's defeat.
She reminded him that until she went to jail, neither KCR nor KTR held a press conference to defend her. She said that even the BRS social media did not support her.
Kavitha was a BRS MLC at the time of her arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in March 2024. She spent more than five months in jail before she was released on bail.
Last year, Kavitha quit BRS and also resigned as MLC after she was suspended from the party for anti-party activities.
Kavitha said it was a blessing that she received a clean chit two months ahead of the launch of a new political party.
Earlier, KTR had posted on X that the AAP government led by Kejriwal had been brought down under the pretext of the "liquor scam," and the political casualty of that narrative was the BRS in both the Assembly and Parliament elections.
He was reacting to a Delhi court order, discharging former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, and 21 others, including his sister Kavitha, in the Delhi liquor policy case.
"Kavita Garu got justice in court today, and in the same manner, every case registered against our leaders will be conclusively exposed as false, politically motivated, and fabricated," wrote the BRS leader.
