Won’t be deterred by tactics of intimidation: KCR daughter Kavitha on ED summons

Telangana Chief Minister K Chadrashekar Rao’s (KCR) daughter K Kavitha, Wednesday, dubbed the Enforcement Directorate (ED) summons against her in the purported Delhi liquor policy scam as “tactics of intimidation” against her father KCR and his Bharatiya Rashtriya Samiti (BRS) party.
Taking to twitter, the BRS MLC said she wants the ruling BJP at the Centre to know that such “tactics of intimidation” against KCR and the BRS party will not deter their efforts to “continue to fight to expose your failures and raise voice for a brighter and better future for India.”
Kavitha has been summoned for questioning by the financial probe agency on March 9 in connection with an alleged money laundering cased linked to the Delhi liquor policy case.
Kavitha stressed that their only demand is that the long-pending Women’s Reservation Bill is tabled in the Parliament to provide women their due share in the nation’s politics, adding that Bharath Jagruthi, along with opposition parties and women’s organisations from all across the country, will come together on March 10 at Jantar Mantar, for a one-day peaceful hunger strike, demanding the BJP government to introduce and pass the Women’s Reservation Bill.
The BRS leader said she will fully cooperate with the investigation agencies but will due to prefixed appointments and the March 10 Dharna, will seek legal opinion on the date of attending the summon.
Kavitha reiterated that Telangana never has and nor “bow down” before “power mongers” of the “oppressive anti-people regime” in New Delhi and “will fearlessly and fiercely fight for the rights of the people.”
Reports quoting sources said the K Kavitha has been summoned by the ED for questioning on March 9 in connection with the probe agency’s ongoing investigation in the alleged Delhi liquor policy scam. They said that Kavitha will likely be confronted by Hyderabad-based businessman Arun Ramchandra Pillai, who was arrested on Monday night in the case.
According to the ED, Pillai is one of the key-accused in the purported scam involving payments of huge kickbacks and formation of the biggest cartel of the South Group which, according to the probe body, comprises Telangana MLC Kavitha, Sarath Reddy (promoter of Aurobindo Group), Magunta Srinivasulu Reddy (MP, Ongole), his son Raghav Magunta, and others. The South Group was being represented by Pillai, Abhishek Boinpalli and Butchi Babu.
The ED which probes financial crimes, has claimed that its investigations have revealed that Pillai along with his associates was coordinating with various persons to execute a political understanding between the South Group and a leader of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). Pillai has been accessory and was involved in the kickbacks from the South Group and the recoupment of the same from the businesses in Delhi.
