Tensions boiled over in Hyderabad as Telangana Jagruti president Kalvakuntla Kavitha mobilized over 1,000 women for a high-stakes protest at Praja Bhavan. The Tuesday rally zeroed in on the Congress regime’s failure to honor election guarantees tailored for Telangana’s female population.
Leading from the front, the ex-MP oversaw slogan-shouting crowds before formally presenting a memorandum. It pressed for swift execution of pledges including bridal gold, scooters for girls, and regular ₹2,500 aid—promises gathering dust since the polls.
Kavitha followed up with officials, advocating budget commitments for Anganwadi and ASHA staff. She unleashed scathing criticism: 26 months into governance, Congress has delivered nothing for women, branding it a party of pure trickery.
Her wishlist for the budget included pensions at ₹4,000, student transport, and uplifts for vulnerable groups like the elderly and disabled. In a lighter vein, she posted birthday greetings for her father KCR on X, acknowledging his legacy.
Kavitha’s shift from BRS—marked by suspension and resignation—has led her to revitalize Telangana Jagruti, the cultural outfit from the statehood days. Her recent signal of a new party in three months adds intrigue to this bold stand.
The protest reverberates as a wake-up call, highlighting systemic lapses and Kavitha’s pivot toward grassroots mobilization in Telangana’s charged political arena.
