This highlights shifting political alliances and regional power dynamics in Telangana ahead of future electoral cycles.
Telangana Rakshana Sena chief K. Kavitha declared that she was neither the ‘arrow’ of the BRS nor the BJP, as alleged by her political opponents, but “the arrow of Bahujans and the war cry of the youth”.
Addressing a Paanchajanya Sankalpa Sabha at Kosgi in the Kodangal Assembly constituency on Sunday, she said, “I am an Ambedkarite and carry forward the self-respect ideology of Phule. I am a woman who stands firm with the ideals of Savitribai Phule and challenges the male-dominated political establishment.”
Recalling her political journey, Ms. Kavitha said that she had visited Kosgi in 2009 along with then TDP chief N. Chandrababu Naidu and A. Revanth Reddy. “Both of them are now Chief Ministers. With the blessings of the people of Kosgi and Kodangal, I am confident that I too will lead this State one day,” she said.
