Hyderabad, July 15 -- Congress MLC Teenmaar Mallanna has alleged that BRS MLC Kalvakuntla Kavitha is functioning as an "unofficial affiliate" of the grand old party. Speaking to the media at his office in Peerzadiguda on Monday night, July 14, Mallanna claimed that Kavitha is preparing to formally join the Congress soon.

He further stated that the ruling Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) has remained silent on the recent controversy involving Kavitha because "she is at fault," over the vandalism at Mallanna's office.

The Congress MLC criticised Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) President Mahesh Kumar Goud and Minister Ponnam Prabhakar for holding a press meet in support of Kavitha, calling their actions "bizarre."
