Hyderabad: Amid growing internal discord within the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), party president and former Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) has reportedly begun efforts to pacify his daughter and MLC Kalvakuntla Kavitha, following her recent public criticisms against the party leadership.
According to sources close to the developments, KCR personally called Kavitha and appealed for restraint, cautioning that internal disagreements could severely damage the party. To further de-escalate the situation, KCR dispatched senior leaders—BRS MP Divikonda Damodar Rao and party legal cell in-charge Gandra Mohan Rao—to initiate closed-door discussions with her.
The emissaries reportedly met Kavitha at her residence and held consultations lasting over three hours. However, party sources indicate that Kavitha remained firm in her demands, reportedly seeking clarity on her future role in the party and pressing for an immediate resolution.
“She questioned what her position would be if the BRS returns to power and K.T. Rama Rao assumes the Chief Minister’s post,” a senior leader familiar with the matter said. “She insisted the matter be settled now, or she would chart her own course.”

In the course of discussions, the emissaries reportedly addressed multiple concerns raised by Kavitha, including ongoing legal issues such as the Delhi liquor scam case. They are also believed to have highlighted the potential political fallout for both the Kalvakuntla family and the party, should the issue remain unresolved.
The development comes amid speculation that internal power struggles and leadership ambiguity are deepening within BRS following the party’s electoral setbacks. The high-level intervention by KCR signals the seriousness of the situation and the growing challenge of maintaining unity within the party’s top leadership.
With the party leadership under pressure to resolve the standoff, all eyes are now on the next steps to be taken by the Kalvakuntla family and senior BRS decision-makers.
