Kavitha’s Jagruti to Contest Civic Polls with Forward Bloc Symbol
Kalvakuntla Kavitha, a former MLC, is leading a group called Telangana Jagruti.
They want to participate in the local elections, but their party is not officially registered yet.
So, they are using the Lion symbol of the All India Forward Bloc.
Rangineni Manisha, a former leader, has also joined them and wants to contest in Adilabad.
Kavitha is working on registering her party and plans to field her supporters in the elections through the Forward Bloc.
Telangana Jagruti, led by Kalvakuntla Kavitha, will contest civic polls using the Lion symbol of the All India Forward Bloc.
Kavitha initially considered fielding candidates as independents but later decided to use the Forward Bloc symbol.
Rangineni Manisha, former Adilabad municipality chairperson, resigned from BRS and joined the Forward Bloc.
