MLC Kavitha | Hyderabad, March 8 | In a significant move, ED Summoned BRS MLC K Kavitha and Telangana CM KCR’s daughter to attend on March 9 for questioning in Delhi Excise Policy.
It may be mentioned here that Kavitha had announced that she would stage a dharna at Jantar Mantar demanding the introduction of the Women reservation bill in the current session of Parliament to provide 33% reservation to women in legislatures.
In the backdrop of this, the decision of ED to summon her assumes importance. It may be recalled that ED had on Tuesday arrested Ramachandra Pillai in the Delhi liquor scam. The ED in its remand report alleged that Pillai said that he was ‘benami’ of Kavitha.
She said she and the party will continue to fight to expose the Centre’s failures and will raise their voice for a brighter and better future for India.
MLC Kavitha
Kavitha has been called so that she can be confronted with Hyderabad-based businessman Arun Ramchandra Pillai, an alleged frontman of the ‘south group’, who was arrested by the ED on Monday.
In a Twitter post, Kavitha said, “Let me also remind the power mongers in Delhi that Telangana has never and will never bow before the oppressive anti-people regime.
We will fearlessly and fiercely fight for the rights of the people.”
MLC Kavitha – Hunger Strike
Kavitha said she would be in Delhi to hold a one-day hunger strike at the Jantar Mantar on March 10 to seek the introduction of the Women’s Reservation Bill in the upcoming session of Parliament.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) had earlier said that Pillai “represented the south group”, an alleged liquor cartel linked to Kavitha and others.
The ‘south group, according to the agency, “comprises” Sarath Reddy (promoter of Aurobindo Pharma), Magunta Srinivasulu Reddy (YSR Congress MP from Ongole Lok Sabha seat), Kavitha and others.
The BRS leader had been questioned by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in this case earlier.
It is alleged that the Delhi government’s excise policy for 2021-22 to grant licenses to liquor traders allowed cartelization and favoured certain dealers, who had allegedly paid bribes for it, a charge strongly refuted by the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).
The policy was later scrapped and the Delhi Lt Governor recommended a CBI probe following which the ED registered a case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
