HYDERABAD: BRS leader and former Telangana Jagruthi functionary Mede Rajiv Sagar on Thursday accused former MLC K Kavitha of neglecting long-time Jagruthi workers despite utilising their services for nearly two decades.
Addressing a news conference at the Press Club in Hyderabad, Rajiv Sagar said that he and several others had worked for Telangana Jagruthi for 19 years under the leadership of former chief minister and BRS president K Chandrashekar Rao.
“We dedicated several years of life to Jagruthi, but Kavitha, who benefited most from our service, never even enquired if we had any personal or financial difficulties,” he lamented.
He further said they had distanced themselves from Kavitha ever since she began making critical comments against the BRS.
“We work only for KCR and the BRS,” he clarified.
Rajiv Sagar alleged that many Jagruthi leaders and activists were now left in a vulnerable position.
“Kavitha took unilateral decisions without consulting those who had stood by her for 19 years. What about our political future?” he asked.
Pointing to Kavitha’s own political career, he asked: “She had the opportunity to be an MP once and an MLC twice. But what about the Jagruthi activists? How many opportunities were given to them? And what about the social equation she now talks about?”
The former Jagruthi leaders asserted that their loyalty would remain with KCR and the people of Telangana, and not with Kavitha.
