Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) MLC K. Kavitha, the daughter of former Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao (KCR), declared that she would write a Pink Book. According to her, this book would record supposed political harassment suffered by BRS workers at the hands of the present Congress-led government in Telangana.
Kavitha accused Chief Minister Revanth Reddy’s administration of targeting BRS supporters by filing false cases, citing the recent arrest of her associate, Manoj Reddy, as an example. She also alleged that Congress is cracking down on her party’s social media presence by arresting digital activists overnight. Responding to these alleged injustices, Kavitha vowed that the Pink Book would serve as a record of these incidents and a tool to fight back. Her announcement was met with overwhelming support from BRS workers.
What makes Kavitha’s Pink Book announcement even more significant is its timing. It came on the same day as the arrest of former MLA Vallabhaneni Vamsi, whose name was reportedly mentioned in Lokesh’s Red Book. Vamsi, known for his controversial remarks against Chandrababu Naidu, Lokesh, and Bhuvaneshwari, had previously shifted loyalties from TDP to YSR Congress. Lokesh had earlier stated that the Red Book serves as a protective measure for TDP workers, a sentiment now echoed by Kavitha for her party’s cadres.
The concept of maintaining political books has now gained traction across parties. YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) chief Jagan Mohan Reddy previously hinted at writing a Good Book and later urged party workers to keep their own Red Book. Former YSRCP minister Ambati Rambabu mentioned a Green Book, while BRS MLA Padi Kaushik Reddy proposed a Black Book.
However, political analysts believe Kavitha’s Pink Book announcement has created the biggest ripple effect so far. With leaders across party lines adopting this approach, Nara Lokesh’s Red Book seems to have set a new trend in Telugu politics—one that is reshaping political narratives and party strategies.
