In a poignant farewell speech, Telangana MLC K Kavitha announced her resignation from the Legislative Council, signaling her formal departure from the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS). Kavitha, visibly moved, recounted her political trajectory and the circumstances of her suspension from the party.

Reflecting on her involvement in the Telangana movement starting in 2006 alongside leaders like KCR and Professor Jayashankar, she shared how she worked through the Jagruthi organization to empower women and youth while preserving Telangana's cultural heritage.
