Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) president K. Chandrasekhar Rao said that the Delhi liquor policy case was a ‘scam’ created by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to target him and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, the latter’s emerging political rivals.
Addressing a press conference in the city on Saturday, he said that BRS MLC Kavitha and Mr. Kejriwal’s arrest was nothing but PM’s frustration on their political challenge to BJP’s growth. “There is nothing in that case and Kavitha will come out unscathed and prove her innocence,” he said.
He also linked Mr. Modi’s anger towards him due to his decision to send Telangana police to arrest BJP general secretary B.L. Santosh, who he said, tried to topple the BRS government. Mr. Santosh is close to Mr. Modi and he could not digest the fact that police were sent to Delhi to arrest him in the ‘Farmhouse’ case.
