BRS leader Kalvakuntla Kavitha compared the Owaisi brothers to sunflowers, accusing AIMIM of shifting loyalties toward ruling parties amid fresh political sparring in Telangana.

Hyderabad: Political exchanges in Telangana intensified after Kalvakuntla Kavitha, president of Telangana Jagruthi and a senior leader of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi, likened the Owaisi brothers to “sunflowers,” alleging that they gravitate toward whichever party holds power.

Her remarks came in response to a speech delivered by Akbaruddin Owaisi in Karimnagar a day earlier, where he asserted that chief ministers approach the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) for support rather than the party seeking alliances.

Kavitha argued that the AIMIM’s political positioning appears inconsistent, pointing to what she described as a contrast between Asaduddin Owaisi criticising the Congress at the national level while maintaining cordial ties with Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy in the state. She also questioned claims that Congress owed its recent Jubilee Hills by-election victory to AIMIM’s backing, suggesting the statement reflected shifting alignments.

Analysis: The sharp rhetoric underscores how alliances and perceptions of proximity to power remain central themes in Telangana’s political narrative. As parties prepare for future electoral battles, public sparring over loyalty and influence is likely to intensify, shaping voter perceptions beyond policy debates.
