										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p data-start="428" data-end="803">Political tensions in Telangana have escalated as a sharp war of words continues between Jagruti president Kalvakuntla Kavitha and senior BRS leaders. Kavitha’s recent allegations have triggered strong counterattacks from the BRS camp. As a result, several former ministers and MLAs have openly criticised her statements. The controversy has now taken a more aggressive turn.</p>
<p data-start="805" data-end="1151">Meanwhile, BRS MLC Takkellapalli Ravinder Rao made harsh remarks during a television debate. He accused Kavitha of crossing limits and attacking public representatives, families, and the party. Furthermore, he said there was no need to show restraint anymore. He warned that Kavitha would face public retaliation if she continued such statements.</p>
<p data-start="1153" data-end="1458">In addition, Ravinder Rao alleged that Kavitha insulted women through her language. He questioned how long restraint should be maintained against such behaviour. Responding to Kavitha’s “test match” comment, he dismissed it outright. He also said that giving her importance would damage the party’s image<a href="https://www.indiapodcast.com/patna-police-transfer-list-major-reshuffle-leaves-12-officers-on-line-duty/">.</a></p>
<p data-start="1460" data-end="1759">Moreover, Ravinder Rao questioned why Kavitha avoided discussing Congress government promises and public issues. He expressed anger over her comments against the BRS leadership. Finally, he stated that personal attacks on elected representatives harm democratic values and lower political standards<a href="http://www.com">.</a></p>

The party alleged that women and other members have faced severe physical and mental abuse in prisons. False cases have also been filed against many leaders at all levels.</p>
<p data-start="557" data-end="833">The Awami League claimed that former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and other party activists are being unjustly detained. Some leaders have reportedly been killed through torture in prisons, while inhumane abuse continues. The party called these actions extreme and barbaric.</p>
<p data-start="835" data-end="1132">The party accused the interim government of using fabricated cases to harass Awami League members across the country. Prison transfers and humiliating treatment have been allegedly used to maximize suffering and intimidate activists. The statement called the practices shocking and unacceptable.</p>
<p data-start="1134" data-end="1464">Awami League has urged international organisations and human rights defenders to demand transparent investigations into custodial deaths. Since the Yunus-led government came to power, at least 24 party members reportedly died in custody.
