"We are fighters. We will fight it out legally. We will fight it out politically. We always fought. By sending us to jail illegally, they only made the BRS and KCR team unbreakable," Kavitha added. Before leaving for Hyderabad on Wednesday, Kavitha met BRS leaders at the party office in Delhi. "I always believed that truth will prevail, justice will prevail. We will certainly fight back. We will not lose our resolve," she said.
