Telangana Jagruthi president Kavitha is preparing to launch a new political party and has begun involving her son Aditya in public political activities, signaling a strategic move to establish a political legacy and strengthen her independent position in Telangana politics amid strained relations with her father KCR and BRS.
Kalvakuntla Kavitha, a legislative council member and party president, may face prolonged imprisonment as the Supreme Court rejected her bail plea in connection with the Delhi liquor policy case, directing her to approach the trial court. The Enforcement Directorate has alleged her involvement in a money laundering case related to the Delhi liquor policy and claimed she was linked to a "South Group" lobby of liquor traders. Kavitha's counsel argued against her arrest, but the Court issued notice only with respect to the challenge against provisions of PMLA.
The Supreme Court dismissed BRS leader K. Kavitha's plea against ED summons in the Delhi excise policy case, as she had already been arrested by the Enforcement Directorate. The court granted her the liberty to seek appropriate remedies and had previously provided interim relief by directing the ED not to insist on her appearance in the ongoing probe until a specified date.
The BRS leadership, including Kavitha's family members, remained silent on her arrest by the Directorate of Enforcement in the Delhi liquor scam case, with plans for a press conference and briefing being canceled. Despite this, sporadic protests emerged in various parts of the state by BRS leaders and workers.
Kalvakuntla Kavitha has been arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in the Delhi liquor scam, prompting KTR to criticize the BJP-led central government for what he calls a misuse of power. KTR stated that the ED needs to answer to the Supreme Court for the rush to arrest when the matter is still sub-judice, and he vowed that BRS will pursue the case politically and legally to ensure justice prevails.
Kalvakuntla Kavitha has been arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in connection with the Delhi Liquor scam, following raids on her properties in Hyderabad. The arrest has sparked protests by BRS leaders and supporters, posing a challenge for the party ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. The reaction of KCR and KTR to Kavitha's arrest remains to be seen.
