On Saturday, the Congress Party claimed credit for ‘pushing’ the Central Bureau of Investigation to investigate BRS MLC Kavitha’s house by raising concerns about the Delhi Liquor Policy case.
Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera questioned the BRS’s funding sources in order to transition from a regional to a national party. “Where is the funding for the BRS’s transition from local TRS to national coming from?” Khera questioned.
Khera claimed that the BRS is stealing common people’s money and using it to fuel its growth.
On Kavitha’s hunger strike for the Women’s reservation bill, Khera asked if the MLC ‘suddenly’ remembered the cause after all these years. “Once I got down at Shamshabad, I saw the BRS posters. Only Kavitha’s face is visible as if she is the only woman in the BRS. As an ex-MP, how many times did she speak of Women’s rights in the Parliament?” he asked.
Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader K. Kavitha on Saturday joined the Enforcement Directorate’s (ED) investigation into the Delhi Excise Policy scam on Saturday.
She arrived at the ED office around 11.05 a.m., and her statement will be documented under section 50 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act. Her testimony will be recorded by a female deputy director level official.
Kavitha, the daughter of Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao, was summoned to the investigation on Thursday, but she requested more time in a letter, and her questioning was rescheduled for Saturday.
She staged a protest at Jantar Mantar on Friday, and claimed that she had never met former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, adding that her name was unnecessarily being dragged into the matter.
According to the ED, Kavitha is also one of the representatives of South Group which allegedly paid a kickback of Rs 100 crore to AAP leaders.
The BRS leader might be confronted with the Hyderabad-based businessman Arun Pillai who was arrested on Friday as the latter is also from the South Group.
“The South Group was represented by Abhishek Boinpally, Arun Pillai and Buchi Babu. Boinpalli facilitated the transfer of Rs 100 crore kickback in connivance and conspiracy with Nair and his associate Dinesh Arora. Now we will have to confront Pillai with Kavitha,” an ED source had said.
Sisodia is currently on ED’s remand. There are possibilities that Kavitha might be confronted with Sisodia in connection with the alleged kickback.
