Addressing a press conference, Kavitha said, "Call up Kharge Ji and ask if I ever rang him up. I have no interest in joining any other party. The TRS is now the BRS (Bharat Rashtra Samithi). We brought development to Telangana and will follow the same template to bring about development across the country."
