At a large self-respect meeting organized by Telangana Jagruthi at RTC Kalyana Mandapam in Bagh Lingampally, Hyderabad, Kalvakuntla Kavitha strongly criticized both previous and current state governments for failing to deliver justice to Telangana movement activists and martyrs’ families. She said that despite the formation of Telangana, many activists did not receive the recognition, economic growth, or political opportunities they had hoped for. Without directly attacking K. Chandrashekar Rao, she questioned what had been achieved during the ten years in power. She also criticized Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, alleging a lack of movement spirit and warning that unfulfilled promises to activists would lead to strong public resistance.
Kavitha announced plans to launch a new political party that would not be just another electoral platform but one aimed at protecting Telangana’s identity and prioritizing activists’ welfare. She demanded formal recognition of movement activists, creation of a welfare board, budgetary provisions for their development, and 20% reservation for local youth in private sector jobs. Referring to historical struggles and figures like Komaram Bheem and Chakali Ilamma, she emphasized that Telangana has always been a land of resistance and sacrifice. She stated that Telangana Jagruthi would continue its fight for justice, dignity, and rightful benefits for activists and their families.
