Kavitha vs KTR: “No One is Above the Law” in Phone Tapping Case

The political landscape in Telangana witnessed a major internal shift today as Kalvakuntla Kavitha held a significant press briefing at the Telangana Jagruthi office in Banjara Hills. Breaking from the standard party line, Kavitha launched a direct critique of recent comments made by BRS working president KTR and addressed the controversial phone tapping investigation.

Rejecting “Label Politics”: Kavitha’s Critique of BRS Leadership

During her address, Kavitha expressed strong disagreement with KTR’s recent statement that people should vote for a candidate based on the “KCR Label,” regardless of the candidate’s personal quality.

• The “Dictatorial” Warning: Kavitha described this approach as a sign of “monarchical and dictatorial tendencies.”
• The Call for Merit: She urged the citizens of Telangana to ignore party labels, religion, and caste in the upcoming municipal elections. Instead, she advised voters to choose candidates based on their character and their willingness to help in times of crisis.

Addressing the Phone Tapping Case: “No One is Above the Law”

In her most candid comments yet regarding the ongoing phone tapping investigation, Kavitha stated that the law must take its course without bias. She noted that the tapping occurred while KCR was the Chief Minister, and therefore, summons for questioning are a part of the legal process.

• Direct Contrast to KTR: While other leaders have termed the summons as “undemocratic,” Kavitha emphasized that “no one is above the law.”
• Compliance Record: She reminded the media that she had personally attended ED and CBI inquiries despite her innocence and stated that everyone involved in the phone tapping case should similarly comply with the law.

Allegations of “Match-Fixing” and the Future of BRS

Kavitha raised doubts about the transparency of the current Congress government’s investigation. She alleged a “match-fixing” deal between the government and a specific political “fox” (Guntanakka), suggesting that the case is being dragged out only for municipal election leverage rather than genuine justice.

The Path Forward: Telangana Jagruthi and the Forward Bloc

Confirming her new political direction, Kavitha announced that Telangana Jagruthi is supporting candidates from the All India Forward Bloc in the municipal elections. She concluded that unless BRS changes its internal culture and allows youth and women to lead without being overshadowed by “Labels,” the party’s recovery remains in jeopardy.
