Remember The Name: Telangana Rashtra Sena

We refuse to back down, come what may;
It is time the people of Telangana have their say.
We will not let our aspirations decay;
Be reduced to ashes if you dare come in our way.

Your Time is Done, Our Time is Now.#TRS… pic.twitter.com/UICyMplYJ1

Kavitha was suspended from the BRS in September, 2025 after she accused her cousins and party leaders T Harish Rao and J Santosh Kumar of “tarnishing” her father and BRS president K Chandrasekhar Rao’s image over the Kaleshwaram lift irrigation project built during the BRS regime. Since her suspension, she has been focusing on public issues under the banner of Telangana Jagruthi, a cultural organisation she heads. The Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS), headed by her father, was originally named Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS). However, it was renamed as BRS in 2022.
