Turning adversity into advantage has long been second nature to Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) supremo and Telangana chief minister K. Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) since the time he revived the dormant agitation for a separate state in 2000. Now, amid apprehensions over the arrest of his daughter and MLC K. Kavitha-who is embroiled in the alleged Delhi liquor scam-KCR is alleging political vendetta by the Narendra Modi-led BJP government at the Centre.
The BRS chief says he is being targeted for rallying together political parties opposed to the BJP. He has already told party activists to be prepared for Kavitha's arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), and will most likely use the 'wronged father and CM' appeal to ratchet up support and launch the campaign for the legislative assembly polls in Telangana due at the end of the year and the Lok Sabha election in 2024. The BRS is also trying to get together other political parties who have been 'victims' of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and ED to buttress the accusations of the misuse of central agencies by the Modi government.
