Day after she was suspended from the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) for 'anti-party activities', K Kavitha on Wednesday said her brother Rama Rao didn't back her "when malicious campaign was unleashed" against her.

Kavitha was suspended from the BRS - party run by her father and former Chief Minister, K Chandrashekar Rao - after she publicly blamed senior BRS leader T Harish Rao, her cousin, for the federal investigation against KCR, as her father is called.

"Party leadership is taking this matter seriously as recent behaviour and ongoing anti-party activities of MLC K Kavitha are damaging the BRS," the party said on X, "Therefore, party President K Chandrasekhar Rao has decided to suspend K Kavitha with immediate effect."

Addressing her first press conference after being suspended from the party, K Kavitha said, "Ever since my release from Tihar jail, have been fighting for various causes."
