HYDERABAD: After days of silence, BRS chief K Chandrasekhar Rao on Monday sent emissaries to meet his daughter and party MLC K Kavitha.
Since her arrival in Hyderabad, Kavitha had remained largely isolated within the party. However, on Monday evening, BRS MP D Damodar Rao and the party’s legal cell in-charge Gandra Mohan Rao visited her residence and held talks for around three hours.
Sources said they advised her to raise any concerns through internal party channels and avoid airing them publicly. They were referring to a letter Kavitha had addressed to KCR, in which she raised several issues. The leak of this letter to the press on Thursday reportedly unsettled the party leadership.
Upon her return from the US, Kavitha appeared to intensify tensions by describing KCR as “god” surrounded by “devils”. The emissaries are believed to have asked her to list the problems she was facing within the party.
During the meeting, Kavitha is reported to have demanded an investigation into who leaked the letter and action against those responsible. She also called for the removal of certain individuals around KCR whom she again described as “devils”. Sources said Kavitha conveyed that if given her due role in the party, she was prepared to work under KCR’s leadership.

Kavitha also sought action against party leaders and supporters allegedly spreading false propaganda against her on social media. Reportedly, she showed screenshots of such posts to both leaders and asked why she should continue to face such insults, stating, “So far I am tolerating insults only for KCR.”
Sources noted that Kavitha grew emotional during the meeting and reiterated her respect for KCR, blaming some close to him for creating a rift. She is also said to have requested Damodar Rao to arrange a personal meeting with KCR to directly explain her position.
Damodar Rao and Mohan Rao reportedly assured her that they would inform KCR of the discussion and convey her concerns. They are also said to have asked what prompted her to write the letter in the first place.
Meanwhile, on social media platform X, Kavitha condemned the ACB notices issued to KTR, calling them politically motivated.
She posted: “I strongly condemn the Revanth Reddy government issuing notices to KTR. It is a conspiracy to cover up their failures and divert attention from public issues.”
She added that the notices were part of a political strategy and that it was clear there was a motive behind issuing multiple notices to BRS leaders. “KCR’s soldiers have a history of standing firm no matter who tries to cause them any trouble,” she stated.
Kavitha’s isolation until Monday had left her followers uneasy. When she returned from the United States recently, no senior party leader was present at the airport—an absence widely noted in political circles and interpreted as a deliberate signal.
Within the BRS, the leaked letter has become a topic of quiet discussion. Cadres have been watching senior leaders’ movements to interpret the leadership’s stance. Further unease has been caused by recent statements from BRS MLAs affirming loyalty to KCR, while some have dismissed speculation that Kavitha may launch a separate political outfit.
Meanwhile, women leaders and others once close to Kavitha have been meeting KT Rama Rao. In a recent interaction, they reportedly conveyed: “We will stand with Ramanna.” This shift is notable as many had previously worked with Kavitha and her organisation, Telangana Jagruthi.
