K Kavitha, daughter of former Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, on Saturday launched her own political party, the Telangana Rashtra Sena (TRS), months after being suspended from the Bharat Rashtra Samithi over alleged “anti-party activities.”
The former MP had first announced plans for the new outfit last month, saying it would focus on inclusive development, universal welfare, and self-sufficiency. Addressing a press conference in March, she said the party aims to fulfil the aspirations of Telangana’s people more than a decade after the state was formed.
Kavitha highlighted that key promises of the Telangana movement—“Neellu, Nidhulu, Niyamakalu” (water, funds, and jobs)—remain unfulfilled even after 12 years. She accused successive governments of failing farmers, youth, industrialists, and marginalised communities.
Outlining her vision, she said the party would work to bring governance closer to the people and address grassroots issues often ignored in mainstream politics. She also stressed that the platform would serve all sections of society, irrespective of caste, religion, or community.
Kavitha has repeatedly criticised both the BRS and the BJP, alleging that neither has effectively functioned as a strong opposition in Telangana or represented public concerns adequately. Taking a swipe at her former party, she said the BRS “would not change even after 1,000 years” and had failed to recognise the welfare of those who fought for Telangana statehood, according to PTI.
