K. Kavitha, daughter of BRS president KCR, has introduced a provocative 'Pink Book' to document harassment of her party's workers by Congress leaders and officials. Her bold declaration at a Banswada meeting signals a combative political strategy reminiscent of Nara Lokesh's 'Red Book' approach in Andhra Pradesh. Kavitha explicitly warned that those targeting BRS workers will not be spared, emphasizing her "rowdy type" persona. The move represents an escalating political confrontation between BRS and Congress in Telangana's dynamic political landscape.

Daughter of KCR makes bold political statement

She warned leaders of ruling Congress and officials harassing BRS workers, saying their names would be written in the 'Pink Book' .

"Those who are harassing will not be spared. Their names will be noted in the Pink Book," she said at a meeting of BRS workers in Banswada in Nizamabad district on Tuesday.

Kavitha, who is the daughter of BRS president and former chief minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR), also remarked that she is a 'rowdy type'. "KCR may be a good person, but I am a rowdy type," she said amid cheers by party cadres.

The member of Telangana Legislative Council made it clear that there is no question of sparing anyone harassing the party workers.

"I will not forgive those who troubled you and took you to police stations. There will be a Pink Book. Names will be written in that book. They may be leaders or officials. We will not let go of anyone," she said.

Kavitha claimed that when BRS was in power, it did not commit any excesses. She made it clear that BRS leaders will not be cowed down by those threatening them.

The BRS leader's 'Pink Book' warning is akin to the 'Red Book' of TDP leader and present Andhra Pradesh minister Nara Lokesh.

During the campaign for last year's elections in Andhra Pradesh, Lokesh was seen displaying 'Red Book' at every public meeting, claiming that it had the names of all the police officials who were following then Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy's direction to target him, his father Chandrababu Naidu and other TDP leaders.

He had stated that once the TDP comes to power, it will give back to the officials what they did to the TDP leaders over the last five years.

YSR Congress Party, which lost power to TDP-led NDA, is now accusing the ruling coalition of targeting those named in the 'Red Book'.

Jagan Mohan Reddy has remarked that the coalition government is following the 'Red Book' constitution.

Interesting to see this "Pink Book" strategy emerging after the "Red Book" in AP. Political tit-for-tat seems to be the new normal in Telugu states. Hope this doesn't escalate tensions further 🤔

Kavitha's "rowdy type" comment shows she's trying too hard to appear tough. Political leaders should focus on governance rather than making threats. This kind of rhetoric doesn't help anyone.

As a BRS supporter, I appreciate Kavitha garu standing up for party workers! The harassment needs to stop. The Pink Book is a clever idea to hold people accountable 👏

Both sides need to calm down. First the Red Book, now Pink Book... when will we see a "Good Governance Book"? That's what people actually want from their leaders.

The way she proudly says "I'm a rowdy type" is concerning. Shouldn't leaders, especially women leaders, be setting better examples? We need more maturity in politics.

History repeating itself! First it was Red Book revenge politics, now Pink Book. When will our leaders learn that vendetta politics only hurts development? 😞
