Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) president K. Chandrasekhar Rao has termed the Delhi liquor policy case a “political scheme of Prime Minister Narendra Modi” to target a few of his political opponents in States where BJP has failed to make inroads for the last 10 years.
Participating in a television live show on Tuesday, he said that his daughter K. Kavitha was in no way connected to the case, and she would come out like a ‘clean pearl’. Stating that the liquor scam was bogus, he said it was a “cock and bull story created by the Modi Government”.
He also said that every State Government has the constitutional authority to bring its own policies and the Delhi Government too, did the same. However, unable to win the Assembly elections in Delhi last three times, Mr. Modi had fabricated the case with the help of the Lieutenant Governor there. “It was height of autocracy that a Chief Minister (Arvind Kejriwal) was being denied bail in the case, as if he would run away from the country if given bail. He too would come out clean,” Mr. Rao said.
