However, the relief did not last long. Revanth Reddy's announcement of a CBI inquiry shocked the BRS leadership. The party now fears that the BJP could use this case to weaken them and capture political ground in Telangana.
This statement may have cornered KCR, knowingly or unknowingly. In the coming days, the CBI may even summon Kavitha as a witness in the case. Since the press meet, KTR has remained at Erravelli Farmhouse, reportedly discussing the future course of action with his father.
Rumours suggest that the party may soon suspend Kavitha. Some reports claim that she has already prepared for all scenarios and might even float a new party. Sources say registration formalities have been completed. KTR is said to have been pushing for Kavitha's suspension for a long time, but KCR resisted. He wanted to avoid family disputes while managing opposition politics.
Now, that decision may turn into a mistake. If Kavitha had been suspended earlier, her press meet would not have carried the same weight as it does now.
