K Kavitha, daughter of former Telangana chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, announced the launch of her own political outfit, Telangana Rashtra Sena (TRS), on Saturday.
In a veiled attack on her father's party, BRS, Kavitha said she feels ashamed of some issues and that BRS led to Telangana losing its soul.
She was suspended from BRS in September last year after accusing her cousins and party leaders of tarnishing her father's image.
Kavitha has been focusing on public issues under the banner of Telangana Jagruthi, a cultural organisation she heads.
The Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS), headed by her father, was originally named Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) but was renamed in 2022.
Kavitha said her new party will focus on the aspirations and unfinished agenda of the state and will be a regional party for the unfulfilled agenda and aspirations of Telangana.
