Revanth Reddy accuses KTR of driving sister Kavitha out of family home over property dispute

Hyderabad: Telangana chief minister A Revanth Reddy on Sunday accused BRS leader KT Rama Rao of driving his sister, K Kavitha, out of the family home over his unwillingness to share family property.

Addressing a meeting of woman Self-Help Group (SHG) members in his assembly constituency of Kodangal, he also said the total number of SHG members now stands at 70 lakh which the government now aims to expand it to one crore by 2034.

He said the government would launch the second phase of distribution of free 'Indiramma' sarees to women on November 19 on the occasion of birth anniversary of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.


"I am trying to show my gratitude to you by distributing 'Indiramma' sarees as a brother's gift. But, see KTR. Not ready to share family property, he drove his sister (TRS president Kavitha) out of the home. The sister who returned after a serving a jail term, facing cases," he said, referring to Kavitha serving a jail term in connection with the case related to Delhi liquor policy and her subsequent suspension from BRS.

Kavitha has floated her own outfit Telangana Rakshana Sena (TRS).

"Whatever is (her) mistake, he should take care of the sister when she comes home after spending about six months in jail. But, is there anyone else on the earth, except KCR's son, who drove his own sister out of the home, saying she committed mistakes and sold liquor," Reddy said.

Referring to Rama Rao's comments on BRS working for women's welfare, he asked whether the BRS leader's comments are trustworthy as he has mistreated his sister.

Without mentioning her name, he said Kavitha herself made critical comments against Rama Rao.

Taking aim at BRS president K Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR), Reddy said father is expected to advise his son to take good care of his sister which he has failed to do.

"The person (KCR) who cannot teach good things to his family members, will he do good to four crore Telangana people," Reddy said. KCR meted out a raw deal to the state when he was CM for 10 years, he said.

Reddy, who celebrated his birthday on Sunday, said he had served as Zilla Parishad member, MLC, MLA, MP and now serving as Chief Minister. He said there is nothing he can aspire for in his life and that his goal now is transform one crore women intro 'crorepatis'.
