Hyderabad, August 27: Telangana Rakshana Sena chief Kalvakuntla Kavitha alleged that former minister T Harish Rao was trying to take control of the BRS.
She made the allegations at a media interaction in Banjara Hills on Thursday. She claimed Harish Rao held secret discussions with MLAs from Medak district.
Kavitha alleged that Harish Rao wanted to prevent BRS president K Chandrasekhar Rao from passing his political legacy to K T Rama Rao. However, she did not publicly identify the MLAs involved in the alleged meetings.
She also alleged that Harish Rao maintained contacts with BJP leaders and other political figures. Kavitha further claimed that he held frequent meetings with a BJP leader at a residential project in Hyderabad.
However, the allegations could not be independently verified from the information provided.

Kavitha also alleged that Harish Rao had recently met another political figure in London. She claimed the two discussed an understanding involving the BRS.
She said she would release details of the alleged London meeting in phases. She also demanded an investigation if the alleged political understanding involved any quid pro quo.
Kavitha further made allegations about Harish Rao’s tenure as health minister. She claimed that educational institutions and corporate hospitals received milk supplies during that period.
She alleged that two private educational institutions received supplies worth ₹5 crore every month. She claimed the transactions continued for eight years and involved ₹960 crore.
Kavitha also named several corporate hospitals while making similar allegations. She did not provide documentary evidence during the interaction, according to the source material.
She further questioned Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy’s earlier statements on issues involving the BRS leadership. Kavitha asked why the Chief Minister had stopped referring to Harish Rao in connection with earlier controversies.
Kavitha then turned her criticism towards the Congress government. She alleged that Revanth Reddy was compromising Telangana’s interests and acting in favour of leaders from Andhra Pradesh.
She criticised appointments to certain state bodies and questioned the selection of office bearers from outside Telangana. She also raised objections to appointments linked to temple and other public institutions.
Kavitha further criticised the government’s handling of an alleged road accident involving the son of a political leader. She compared the response with the action taken in an earlier case involving the son of former Bodhan MLA Shakeel.
She alleged that law enforcement agencies had treated the two cases differently. Police authorities and the government have not responded to all the allegations contained in her statement.
Kavitha also criticised the government’s approach to contracts, irrigation and other sectors. She alleged that people from Andhra Pradesh were gaining excessive influence in Telangana’s administration and business activities.
She questioned whether the creation of Telangana had achieved its intended purpose if local interests remained secondary.
Kavitha also criticised the BRS for failing to strongly challenge the Congress government. She alleged that internal interests had weakened the party’s opposition role.
At the same time, she accused the previous BRS government of what she described as organised corruption. She alleged that different groups controlled sectors such as irrigation, real estate, milk supply and sand.
Kavitha said voters should not give another opportunity to either the Congress or BRS if they believed both parties had failed them.
She said her organisation wanted to provide an alternative based on transparency and clean governance. She also said Telangana’s interests would remain its priority.
