Farmers have been protesting for several days against the proposed land acquisition. They opposed the move, stating that authorities should not take away fertile agricultural lands. Therefore, the agitation gained momentum in recent days.
Kavitha joined the protest in support of the farmers. She, along with hundreds of farmers, attempted to lay siege to the RDO office in Parigi. However, heavy police deployment blocked their march. As a result, tensions flared between the two sides.

As the situation worsened, police forcibly took Kavitha into custody. They shifted her through NTR Chowrasta amid heavy security. Officials also moved her vehicle from the spot.
Before her arrest, Kavitha questioned the government’s decision. She asked why industries were being built at the cost of farmers’ livelihoods. Moreover, she criticised police action against protesting farmers.
She asserted that her party would continue the agitation until the land acquisition notification is withdrawn. Meanwhile, protests intensified across the district following her arrest.
The situation remains tense as protests continue in parts of the district.
