“You’re Messing With Wrong People”: KCR’s Daughter After BJP’s Charge
"KCR's family members were present in the meeting. K Kavitha had brought many members of the liquor mafia to meet Manish Sisodia," BJP leader Parvesh Verma alleged.
Hyderabad:
Reacting to the Bharatiya Janata Party’s allegation that Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao’s daughter and MLC K Kavitha was the “middleman” between the liquor mafia and the Aam Aadmi Party government in the Delhi excise policy case, Ms Kavitha has called the allegations “baseless” and claimed she has nothing to do with it.
“The allegations made on me by the BJP and its party people are completely baseless…They have all the agencies in their hands, they can do whatever investigation that is required. We will completely cooperate,” she said.
Ms Kavitha further said that BJP is “rattled” by criticism from KCR who has been “very vocal and sharp” in criticising the policies of the BJP-led union government, and thus it is trying to malign the reputation of her family. “You (BJP) are messing with the wrong people,” she added.
The TRS MLC will file a defamation suit against Delhi BJP leaders Parvesh Varma and Manjinder Sirsa following their allegations against her. She will also move the court seeking an injunction order against those making the allegations, sources said.
The BJP alleged that a bribe of crores of rupees was given to Manish Sisodia to increase the commission from 2.5 per cent to 12 per cent under the new liquor policy and the first instalment of the same was given to him. BJP further alleged ₹ 150 crore was given to Mr Sisodia.
Accusing Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia of holding meetings with the Telangana leader, the BJP sought an answer from him if he had met Ms Kavitha.
BJP leader Parvesh Verma and Manjinder Singh Sirsa in a press conference today said that several meetings were held between the liquor mafia, ministers and officers to make the excise policy in line with them.
