Instead of attacking the BJP, the chief minister’s family should be ready to face the investigation by the Central Bureau of Investigation and the Enforcement Directorate, BJP leader P Muralidhar Rao said. The state BJP countered the allegations by TRS. The excise policy of Delhi was similar to that of Telangana and West Bengal, he said.

She met with the Chadha family, took money and had their factory unsealed,” he alleged.īJP MP Verma also alleged that KCR’s family members had attended meetings on the forming of the Delhi government’s excise policy at a five-star hotel in the national capital. “Kavitha has a role in all this give and take. He further alleged that Kavitha had arranged ₹4.5 crore bribe to Sisodia, of which ₹3.5 crore was paid in cash and the rest through a credit note to get a distillery in Punjab unsealed. Money was paid in advance for liquor licences. On Sunday, Sarsa, who represented Rajouri Garden assembly constituency in Delhi in the past, alleged that Kavitha had felicitated the meetings at the Oberoi Hotel and brought liquor barons from the south. In order to divert the attention of the people from such crucial issues, the BJP has made such baseless allegations,” Kavitha said. “There was no reply to any of the questions posed by the TRS to the Centre, including the acquittal of 11 accused in the infamous Bilkis Bano gang rape case. Even during the movement for separate Telangana state, there were several allegations against the TRS, but that failed to dampen its spirits, she pointed out. The efforts of the BJP to malign KCR and his family members will come to nothing, Kavitha said. “That is why the BJP is trying to damage the reputation of our family.”

“It is pretty clear that the BJP is rattled by the criticism being made by my father against the BJP and anti-people policies of the Narendra Modi government at the Centre,” she said. Stating that the allegations made against her and the TRS were baseless, Kavitha said it was an unhealthy trend in politics to sling mud at political opponents and weaken them psychologically. “We shall extend all cooperation to the investigation agencies.” They could order whatever investigation they wanted, if they had any evidence, she said.

The BJP was in power in the Centre and all the investigation agencies were in their hands, Kavitha told reporters. Reacting to the allegations levelled by BJP leaders in Delhi on Sunday, the TRS leader said she also filed a petition seeking an injunction order preventing them from making further allegations without any basis. Telangana Rashtra Samithi lawmaker and chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao’s daughter Kalvakuntla Kavitha on Monday filed a defamation case in a Hyderabad court against Bharatiya Janata Party MP Parvesh Varma and former BJP lawmaker Manjinder Singh Sarsa for linking her with the alleged liquor policy scam involving Delhi deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia.
