Revanth Reddy accuses KTR of driving sister out of home

Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Sunday, 8 November, accused BRS leader K T Rama Rao of forcing his sister, K Kavitha, out of the family home over an unwillingness to share family property. Addressing a meeting of women Self-Help Group members in Kodangal, Reddy said Rama Rao mistreated Kavitha, who had returned after serving a jail term in the Delhi excise policy case. He questioned the credibility of Rama Rao's comments on women's welfare given his alleged treatment of his sister.

Reddy also targeted BRS president K Chandrasekhar Rao, saying a father who cannot teach his son to care for his sister will not do good for Telangana's people. He said Kavitha herself had made critical remarks against her brother. The chief minister noted that the number of SHG members has risen to 70 lakh, with a target of one crore by 2034. The government will launch the second phase of free 'Indiramma' saree distribution on 19 November.

Update, 8 November 2026: Siasat now also reports the story, confirming Revanth Reddy's accusation that KTR drove his sister out over property. All three outlets carry the same quotes from the CM's Sunday (8 November) speech, including his target of one crore SHG members by 2034 and the saree distribution on 19 November.
