Political career

After announcing her candidature she has decided to withdraw from the contest.[5] Kadiyam Kavya later joined the Congress party on March 31 in the presence of Chief Minister Revanth Reddy and AICC in-charge Deepa Dasmunshi.[6]
The AICC's Central Election Committee (CEC) announced the candidature of Kadiyam Kavya on 1 April. In the 2024 general elections, Kavya of the Congress secured a decisive victory with 5,81,294 votes (45.85%), followed by Aroori Ramesh of the BJP with 3,60,955 votes (28.47%), and Dr. Marapally Sudheer Kumar of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi with 2,32,033 votes (18.3%).[7] Kadiyam Kavya won Warangal Parliamentary (SC) seat with a huge majority of 2,20,339 by defeating her nearest rival BJP's Aroori Ramesh.
