Kavitha defends criticism of KCR, alleges attempts made to sabotage registration of her party

K. Kavitha, president of Telangana Jagruthi, defended her recent criticism of K. Chandrashekar Rao, the president of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), stating that she holds ideological differences with him but maintains personal respect for him as a father. She argued that her party, Telangana Rakshana Sena, is being formed to provide an alternative political platform in Telangana and that the BJP cannot come to power in the state. She also claimed that the previous BRS government caused "opportunity cost" to Telangana by failing to address issues like unemployment and job opportunities.
