Kavitha, who is a member of the BRS and an MLC, is accused in the multi-crore Delhi Liquor scam. Today, talking about the case, she stated that she is innocent and won’t become an approver in the case, highlighting that it’s a fabricated political case rather than a money laundering one. Kavitha hinted that she might be temporarily jailed.
She said, “It is not a money laundering case, it’s a political laundering case. One accused has already joined BJP. Second accused is getting BJP ticket. Third accused has given 50 cr in electoral bonds”
Kavitha while being taken to be produced before the judge in the Rouse Avenue court in New Delhi this morning, alleged that one accused has already joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), another is set to receive a BJP ticket, and the third has allegedly donated Rs 50 crore to the BJP through electoral bonds. She reiterated that the case is more about political manipulation than financial wrongdoing.
The 46-year-old Kavitha was arrested by the ED on March 15. The agency was previously granted permission by Special Judge Kaveri Baweja to question her while in custody.
The ED accuses Kavitha, who is the daughter of former Telangana chief minister K Chandrashekar Rao, of being a key member of the ‘South Group.’ This group allegedly paid kickbacks of ₹100 crore to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in exchange for a significant portion of liquor licenses in Delhi.
