Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) leader and Telangana MLC, K. Kavitha, returned to Hyderabad after being questioned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in Delhi over the Delhi liquor policy scam. Upon her arrival, she immediately visited her father and Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR) at the Pragati Bhavan.
KCR was briefed by Kavitha and her colleagues, Telangana ministers K.T. Rama Rao, Harish Rao, and Srinivas Goud, about the nine-hour long questioning by the ED.
Kavitha is alleged to be part of the ‘South Group’, accused of offering bribes to exploit loopholes in the Delhi excise policy to gain free access to various wholesale businesses and retail zones. The ED has summoned her again on March 16 for further questioning.
The involvement of Kavitha, a prominent political figure in Telangana, in this scam is a matter of concern. It remains to be seen how the case will unfold and what consequences it will have for the individuals and political parties involved.
