'He forced his sister out over family property': Revanth Reddy's personal attack on KTR

NEW DELHI: Telangana chief minister A Revanth Reddy on Sunday launched a personal attack on Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president KT Rama Rao, accusing him of forcing his sister out of the party over an "unwillingness to share family property."

The chief minister made the remarks at a meeting of women Self-Help Group (SHG) members in his assembly constituency of Kodangal.

"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 out of the home. The sister who returned after serving a jail term, facing cases," PTI quoted Revanth Reddy as saying.

Though he did not name her, The Congress leader was referring to KT Rama Rao's sister, K Kavitha, who was jailed in connection with the Delhi excise policy case. Kavitha was suspended from the BRS in September 2025 and launched her own political outfit, the Telangana Rakshana Sena, in April 2026.

Revanth Reddy further said that regardless of Kavitha's "mistake", KT Rama Rao should have looked after his sister following her release from jail.

"Whatever her mistake, he should take care of his sister when she returns home after spending six months in jail. But is there anyone else on earth, except KCR's son, who drove his own sister out of the house, accusing her of committing mistakes and selling liquor?" he asked, referring to former Telangana chief minister K Chandrashekar Rao, father of KT Rama Rao and K Kavitha.

Referring to KT Rama Rao's remarks on the BRS working for women's welfare, Reddy questioned their credibility in light of his alleged treatment of his sister. Without naming Kavitha, the chief minister also claimed that she herself had made critical remarks against her brother.

Taking aim at K Chandrashekar Rao, Revanth Reddy argued that a father should advise his son to take care of his sister, accusing the former chief minister of failing to do so. "The person who cannot teach good things to his family members, will he do good to four crore Telangana people?" he questioned.

Revanth Reddy also accused K Chandrashekar Rao of treating Telangana "unfairly" during his 10-year tenure as chief minister.
