K Kavitha confirms letter to K Chandrashekar Rao, denies rift in BRS

BRS leader K Kavitha on Saturday confirmed she wrote a letter to her father and party chief K Chandrashekar Rao (KCR), voicing concern over his perceived soft stance on the BJP. The letter, leaked earlier this month, has triggered speculation of a rift within the family.

Calling the leak "a deliberate act by evil forces within the party," Kavitha said the letter was part of a private exchange with her father. "KCR is like God to us. Our family and the party are united," she said after returning from the US.

The letter, written on May 2, followed KCR's April 27 speech at the BRS Foundation Day event in Warangal, which Kavitha reportedly felt did not strongly counter the BJP-the party she blames for her arrest in the Delhi liquor case.


Asked about the letter, KCR's son and party working president K T Rama Rao said: "These are internal matters. Every party has elements that try to create confusion-they reveal themselves in time."

Party insiders say Kavitha's assertiveness since her release on bail last year has unsettled parts of the BRS, which continues to navigate between the Congress and BJP. The issue may take time to fully die down, they added.
