Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy
Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy on Saturday (March 16)slammed Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) over K Kavitha's arrest, terming it a "serial drama" and claiming that the parties were playing cheap politics.
"Just a day ahead of polls notification, ED arrested Kavitha. This is nothing but a serial drama. Why didn't they arrest her in 2022? K Kavitha is the daughter of KCR [Chandrashekhar Rao, the chief of BRS]. When ED arrested her and took her, why didn't KCR come there as a father or as party chief?" he asked at a press conference.
He furthersaid that both BRS and BJP were trying to mislead people.
"They are trying to play cheap politics. Both BJP and BRS are trying to mislead people. Modi wants to take votes portraying that they take action on her for involving in a scam and KCR want to take votes on sympathy. We see how cheap political tactics are being played," he added.
A court in Delhi on Saturday (Mar 16) sent Kavitha to custodial remand until March 23.She was arrested on Friday in connection with the Delhi excise policy-linked money laundering case.
