“Is This a Kaleshwaram Commission or a Congress Commission?” Kavitha Questions Intent of Probe
During a press conference at the inauguration of the new Telangana Jagruthi office in Banjara Hills, Kavitha strongly criticized the commission’s move. She accused the Congress-led government, under CM A Revanth Reddy, of using the probe to politically target KCR and tarnish a project that she claimed has irrigated 20 lakh acres annually.
“Was KCR served notices for introducing Rythu Bandhu and Rythu Bima? This is not just a political vendetta—it’s an attack on the very spirit of Telangana,” she declared.
Telangana Jagruthi: Celebrating 18 Years of Cultural Pride
Kavitha also marked the 18th anniversary of Telangana Jagruthi, the cultural and social organization she founded in 2006. Reflecting on its beginnings, she recalled the resistance the group faced for using the term “Telangana” before statehood was achieved.

Kavitha Criticizes Congress Government’s Silence on Telangana’s Water Rights
In a scathing attack on the current state government, Kavitha alleged that 200 TMC of Godavari water was being diverted to Andhra Pradesh through projects like Polavaram and Banakacharla, while Telangana’s rightful share remains ignored.
“The Chief Minister must call for an Apex Council meeting and take a firm stand for Telangana. He should address this issue on June 2, Telangana Formation Day,” she demanded.
Revanth Reddy’s Telangana Credentials Questioned
Kavitha questioned CM Revanth Reddy’s commitment to Telangana’s identity, stating that he fails to say “Jai Telangana” or honor the statehood martyrs. She called his leadership disconnected from the aspirations of the people who fought for the state’s formation.
