Kavitha to launch political party on Apr 25

Metro India News | Hyderabad

Telangana Jagruthi president K Kavitha on Friday said she would launch her new political party on April 25 with "Telangana-centric" issues as its main focus. Speaking to reporters in Nizamabad, she said the name and flag of the party would be announced at 10 AM on April 25 at an event to be held at Muneerabad on the outskirts of Hyderabad.

Alleging negligence of people's issues, including farmers, by major parties, Kavitha, daughter of BRS chief K Chandrasekhar Rao, said a new political force is needed in the state to achieve 'Sarvodaya Telangana' (progress of all). Asked if any national level leaders would be invited for the party launch event, she replied in the negative and said her outfit would be the "regional party of Telangana".

"BRS lost focus when it gave up Telangana and announced a national foray. There is no regional party in Telangana now. So, our Jagruthi would be the party of every household. It would be Telangana's regional party," she said. Kavitha said "95 per cent" of her proposed party's focus would be on Telangana and its problems, and the organisation would have a national committee to deal with national issues. Her party would not be the "B team" of any party but would emerge as the "number one" in Telangana, she said. Asked if she would like the BRS cadre to join her, she said it is with her.

Kavitha also said youth and women would have importance in her party. Seeking the support of women, she said they have witnessed the parties formed by men all these years, and they should support her new outfit.
