Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], September 2 (ANI): Reacting to the suspension of K Kavitha from the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), Congress MP Kiran Kumar Chamala on Tuesday stated that Kavitha had admitted that the party, under KCR's leadership, 'looted Telangana in the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Project,' and urged her to approach the CBI or other agencies with the facts.

Speaking to ANI, Chamala said, 'She clearly said that there was loot in Telangana and her father was not behind it, but her cousins are. She concluded that BRS, under the leadership of KCR, have looted Telangana in the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Project. She should go to CBI or any other investigative agency and tell all the facts.'

Earlier today, Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) suspended MLC K Kavitha from the party with immediate effect due to her alleged 'anti-party activities.'

The decision was taken by the party president, K Chandrasekhar Rao, who stated that her recent behaviour and actions were 'damaging' the party's reputation.

In a social media post on X, the official handle of BRS wrote, 'The party leadership is taking this matter seriously as the recent behaviour and ongoing anti-party activities of party MLC Smt. K. Kavitha are damaging the BRS party. Party President Sri K. Chandrasekhar Rao has taken a decision to suspend Smt. K. Kavitha from the party with immediate effect.'

On September 1, BRS MLC K Kavith, while reacting to the Telangana government's decision to order a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the Kaleshwaram project, alleged that any taint on KCR's image regarding the Kaleshwaram issue is due to BRS leaders Harish Rao and Santosh Rao, accusing them of conspiring against her and KCR.

She stated, 'In the CBI probe, KCR will emerge spotless, like a pearl washed clean...If KCR's image is tainted in the Kaleshwaram issue, the reason is Harish Rao and Santosh Rao. Despite several conspiracies against me by them, I endured. Behind Harish and Santosh Rao, it is certainly Revanth Reddy. KCR is facing a CBI probe because of Harish Rao and Santosh Rao.'

Sharpening the attack, she said, 'I am not a puppet to play to the tunes of the BJP or the Congress...KCR never thinks about food or money. But false accusations are being hurled at KCR. People will remember the Kaleshwaram project for 200 years to come. It is tragic that a great leader like KCR is now facing a CBI probe.'

The Telangana government has decided to order a CBI probe into the Kaleshwaram project issue. The government has already constituted a commission, led by former Supreme Court judge Justice Pinaki Chandra Ghose, to investigate alleged irregularities, misuse of public funds, and corruption in the construction of the Medigadda, Annaram, and Sundilla barrages in the Kaleshwaram project.
