KTR Blaming Me To Escape Accountability for BRS Losses: Kavitha
Telangana Jagruthi president alleges political vendetta against BRS; questions accountability for time lost with family
Kavitha, speaking with reporters soon after the verdict was announced, said it vindicated the truth, and exposed the political witch-hunt. She also lost no time in targeting her brother and BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao for pinning the blame for BRS’ loss in the last Assembly elections on her being implicated in the case.
Accusing Rama Rao of attempting to “escape accountability,” Kavitha said, he was “blaming a fabricated case for electoral defeat.”
In a direct attack on Rama Rao, Kavitha said “I saw his tweet after the verdict came out. On the one hand, he congratulates and on the other, he made it appear that this case was the reason why the BRS lost the elections. The BRS’ social media ecosystem is trying to do the same.”
“My question to KTR is, why was this case filed against me? Was it not to target the BRS? And why did neither KCR, or KTR hold any press conferences after I was sent to jail? Why was I left to face the political witch-hunt alone? Why was even basic social media support missing?” Rama Rao, Kavitha said, should “accept the political realities instead of manufacturing convenient excuses.”
She said, “retrospective distortion of facts by blaming a fabricated case for electoral defeat is an attempt to escape accountability.” That the debates during the last Assembly elections, she said, “were not centred on me, but around non-delivery on jobs, housing, and welfare promises, distribution of tickets to undeserving and tainted individuals, and a growing disconnect rooted in arrogance.”
Kavitha also slammed the BRS and its various platforms for their failure to “counter the vile, misogynistic propaganda unleashed by the BJP, including defamatory attacks targeting my cultural identity and dignity. This silence directly emboldened the slander.”
Kavitha said that she would be launching a political party soon and called the timing of the verdict “a clear moral and political vindication. I always accepted people’s verdicts with humility, I never looked for scapegoats.”
She said “from day one, I said this was a false case and that I will come out clean. Today, the verdict has proven that truth beyond doubt.” she said, adding that the verdict, at the same time, “does not erase the immense suffering of me and my family. No amount of money, no compensation, can restore my dignity or bring back the time stolen from my family. What happened to us was nothing short of injustice.”
