Dr. Shravani, the former municipal chairperson, recently made a shocking announcement during a press conference at her residence. With a heavy heart, she revealed her resignation from the party and her position as a councillor, citing relentless harassment and the lack of consolation for those who believed in her.
Dr. Shravani commenced her speech by acknowledging the call from party leader Mrs. Kalvakuntla Kavitakka, expressing gratitude for the opportunity to wear the party scarf under her leadership. With the blessings of Chief Minister KCR and the cooperation of influential leaders like Minister KTR, she became the municipal chairperson of Jagityala. During her tenure, she tirelessly worked towards beautifying the town and diligently followed departmental orders.
In her resignation letter addressed to Minister KTR, Dr. Shravani lamented the suffering, verbal abuse, and insults inflicted upon her and her family by certain Jagityala legislators. Despite her efforts to bring recognition to the party and the government among the people, their actions have raised doubts in society’s minds. She highlighted her unwavering dedication over the past three years, diligently fulfilling her party-assigned tasks and selflessly working for the party during various state elections.
However, in recent days, she faced a decree from the MLA, disregarding her role as a Bahujan woman public representative and preventing her from performing her duties as the municipal chairperson. Dr. Shravani, a proud daughter of Telangana, emphasized that she resigned from the post on January 25th, preserving her self-respect.
The inevitability of harassment targeting MLAs was an unfortunate reality she acknowledged. With a sense of disappointment, she expressed how those who believed in her were not receiving any consolation amidst the ordeal. Consequently, she decided to resign from the primary membership of the BRS party and relinquish her role as a municipal councillor.
While saddened by her departure from the party, Dr. Shravani expressed gratitude for the overwhelming support and assurance she received from people and various communities after stepping down as the municipal chairperson. She sincerely thanked numerous NRIs, both from neighboring states and abroad, for their moral support during this challenging period.
Recalling her association with the BRS party, Dr. Shravani reminisced about joining upon the invitation of MLC Kavitha and working diligently as the municipal chairperson of Jagityala, earning the affection of the people. Despite setbacks, she dedicated herself to the town’s development for three years, faithfully executing every program assigned by the party and actively participating in multiple by-election campaigns.
Addressing the allegations of obtaining the municipal chairperson post due to favoritism, Dr. Shravani asserted that her appointment was solely based on the people’s blessings and not on any other factor. While she resigned from the position of municipal chairperson, she expressed her decision to leave the BRS party with a heavy heart, as the comfort and assurance she expected were absent.
Concluding her speech, Dr. Shravani appealed to the party leadership to address not only her own harassment but also the plight of other party representatives facing similar challenges. She pledged her unwavering support to the people and her commitment to fighting for public issues. Additionally, she raised concerns about receiving threatening calls and messages, as well as the malicious manipulation and circulation of photos targeting her and her family on social media.
Dr. Shravani resignation serves as a powerful reminder of the struggles faced by public representatives and the importance of upholding dignity and self-respect in the face of adversity.
