Kalvakuntla Kavitha’s “Jagruti Janam Bata” Tour in Warangal and Hanamkonda: Day 1
A Grand Welcome in Warangal
In a vibrant display of Telangana’s cultural spirit, Telangana Jagruti President Kalvakuntla Kavitha was accorded a grand welcome by Jagruti activists and local residents at Fatima Nagar, Warangal. Traditional Bathukammas and Bonalu marked her arrival as part of the statewide Jagruti Janam Bata program a people’s outreach movement aimed at understanding public concerns and strengthening community ties.
Standing with Warangal Flood Victims: Compassion in Action
Kavitha’s first stop was among the flood-affected families of Warangal. She personally met the victims, consoled them, and assessed the damage caused by recent heavy rains. Visiting Sammayya Nagar, she extended financial assistance of ₹50,000 to the family of Mogasani Venkateshwarlu, who lost their home and all savings meant for their son’s wedding.
“When we, as an organization, can extend a helping hand, shouldn’t the government do even more?” Kavitha questioned, urging immediate relief for all affected families.
She also inspected Madannapet Lake, where she demanded swift action to improve drainage systems and prevent recurring flooding. “The administration cannot remain a silent spectator when people’s lives are being washed away,” she said firmly.
Inspecting MGM Hospital: A Call for Healthcare Reform
At MGM Hospital, one of Telangana’s busiest public health facilities, Kavitha interacted with patients and doctors to assess the ground reality. She expressed dismay over the lack of essential medicines, testing reagents, and maintenance support.
“Needles are missing when there’s cotton, and cotton is missing when there are needles this is the state of our healthcare,” she remarked.
Kavitha reminded that a 20-floor super-specialty hospital planned in Warangal remains stalled. “Two women ministers represent this district, yet the hospital continues to struggle. Patients are sharing beds, and even basic free medicines are unavailable. This is not governance it’s neglect,” she said, appealing to the ministers to visit and act immediately.
Condemning the Chief Minister’s Remarks on Colleges
Responding to Chief Minister Revanth Reddy’s recent remarks about private college managements, Kavitha voiced strong criticism.
“The CM’s comments were disgraceful language that even street rowdies would hesitate to use,” she said.
Kavitha defended the private institutions that had stepped up to provide education when the state had failed to build government colleges. “They took loans, invested every rupee, and created opportunities for our youth. Instead of helping them, the CM threatens them. That’s not leadership,” she said.
She urged the government to release pending fee reimbursement funds and restore the dignity of educational institutions. “If the government can pay contractors on time, it should also support those who educate our children,” she added.
Demand for Flood Relief Implementation
Touring submerged neighborhoods in Sammayya Nagar and surrounding areas, Kavitha accused the government of making empty promises during its flood inspection visits.
“It’s been two weeks since the CM visited Warangal and promised help. Not a single family has received assistance. This is not a natural calamity it’s an administrative disaster,” she said.
Calling for accountability, she added, “The government must hang its head in shame for abandoning 150 families who lost their homes.”
Kalvakuntla Kavitha Visits Hanamkonda Library – Focus on Unemployment
At the Hanamkonda District Library, Kavitha interacted with unemployed youth who shared their distress over the unfulfilled job promises of the Congress government. She demanded that the Job Calendar be released immediately.
“The unemployed youth of Telangana believed in your words, but two years have passed with nothing to show. The government cannot toy with their future,” she warned.
“Chai Pe Charcha” with Kakatiya University Students
At Kakatiya University Crossroads, Kavitha hosted an informal evening interaction titled Chai Pe Charcha with students. Over tea, she listened to their struggles related to delayed recruitment notifications, the zonal system, and lack of employment opportunities.
The students expressed anger that the government had failed to deliver on its promise of two lakh jobs in the first year. They accused the ruling party of taking credit for vacancies announced by the previous administration.
Kavitha assured them of her continued support and promised to raise their concerns through Telangana Jagruti.
Condolence Visit: A Tragedy in Telangana Education
In Mallakkapet, Parakala Mandal, Kavitha visited the grieving family of Eku Srivani, a Gurukul student who took her own life due to academic and emotional stress. She consoled the family and vowed to fight for justice.
“The government is failing the most vulnerable poor SC, ST, BC, and minority students. Welfare hostels are in disarray, and even building rents are unpaid. Around 100 students have died by suicide in just two years. This is heartbreaking,” she said.She urged the DGP to conduct a thorough investigation into hostel suicides and take strict action against those responsible for student distress.
Inspection at Madannapet Lake, Narsampet
Continuing her tour, Kavitha inspected Madannapet Lake in Narsampet Mandal and demanded that the causeway height be raised to prevent overflow.
“Hundreds of acres depend on this lake for irrigation. The sanctioned works are left incomplete. Both ruling and opposition parties are missing in action. But Jagruti will stand with the people,” she declared.
Kavitha expressed concern over farmers’ losses in cotton and paddy cultivation, accusing the Chief Minister of being “busy with city politics while farmers suffer in silence.”
Interaction with Brahmin Families in Vaddepally
In Vaddepally, Hanamkonda, Kavitha attended a gathering of Brahmin families organized by the Telangana Brahmin Seva Sangham, chaired by Vennampalli Jaganmohan Sharma.
“Once upon a time, Brahmins had a strong political voice today that presence has weakened. But poverty knows no caste. What Telangana needs is social Telangana, not symbolic Telangana,” she said.
She emphasized the need for equality, accessible education, and free healthcare, adding:
“When it’s time to recite the Vedas, do so. But when it’s time to raise the Gandeevam for justice, hold it high.”
“Jagruti Janam Bata” – A Movement for the People
Through her two-day visit to Warangal and Hanamkonda, Kalvakuntla Kavitha demonstrated that the Jagruti Janam Bata initiative is not a political rally, but a people’s movement an effort to listen, understand, and act.From flood relief and education to healthcare and unemployment, her tour echoed a clear message:
“Telangana Jagruti stands where the people stand.”
