“Ignored, Insulted, Isolated” – Kavitha Breaks Silence
In a brief interaction with the media, Kavitha expressed her pain and disappointment over being sidelined within her own party. She revealed enduring a decade-long struggle, stating that she was denied recognition even when media attention was on her.
She accused the BJP government of being autocratic, especially in handling the bodies of Maoist leaders like Nambala Keshava Rao, and demanded an end to “Operation Kagar.” Kavitha also condemned the Congress party for what she described as anti-Dalit behavior, citing the treatment of MP Vamsi during Saraswati Pushkaralu and Deputy CM’s placement at the Yadadri temple ceremony.
