Telangana Jagruthi President K Kavitha met the Chairman of the Telangana Legislative Council, Gutta Sukhender Reddy, and discussed the acceptance of her resignation.

She requested an opportunity to explain the reasons for her resignation on the floor of the House before it is formally accepted.The Council Chairman informed her that she would be given an opportunity on January 5 or 6, and later confirmed that she would speak in the Council on January 5. Speaking to the media at the Council media point and later at the Assembly media point, Kavitha said she would use the opportunity in the Council to explain the reasons for her resignation to the people of Telangana.

Reacting strongly to Chief Minister Revanth Reddy’s remarks comparing former Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) to a terrorist, Kavitha said her “blood is boiling” over such comments and warned the Chief Minister to immediately change his language and tone.

Kavitha said such statements were unacceptable and unbecoming of a constitutional authority. She stated that it was a “hundred percent truth” that not a single acre had received water through the Palamuru–Rangareddy Lift Irrigation Project in the last 12 years. Kavitha demanded that KCR himself explain why the project’s intake point was shifted from Jurala to Srisailam. She alleged that wrong decisions and irresponsible leadership had pushed the project into trouble and said that empowering incompetent individuals and making them respond on serious issues would only confuse the public.

Kavitha remarked that if KCR does not attend the Assembly, “even God cannot save the BRS,” and urged him to come to the House in the interest of Telangana’s people.

She criticised Telangana leaders for lacking political will, while Andhra Pradesh leaders, irrespective of political differences, were united in protecting their regional interests and water resources.

Highlighting failures in irrigation infrastructure, Kavitha said projects such as Bheema, Nettampadu, Sundilla, and Kalvakurthy were operating far below capacity, with even basic repairs neglected.

She questioned why not even a single rupee was sanctioned to repair motors at Kalvakurthy and pointed out that Bheema was running at half capacity, while Nettampadu was receiving less than half its designed water allocation.
