Kavitha did ‘beer and brandy deals’ in Delhi; BJP has no hand in her arrest, claims Kishan Reddy

Telangana BJP president and Union Minister G. Kishan Reddy has denied any “vendetta politics” behind the arrest of former Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao’s daughter and BRS MLC K. Kavitha by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and accused her of having had “dubious liquor deals” with the AAP government in New Delhi.

“The ED probe into Ms. Kavitha’s business deals has nothing to do with BJP or Telangana people or politics. A CBI investigation team stumbled upon evidence of her role in the illegal liquor business with the Delhi government and money laundering,” he alleged at a press conference held at the State office on Sunday.

“What is the BRS agitating against? Who asked her (Ms. Kavitha) to do beer and brandy deals in Delhi? Was it not enough to loot Telangana? It is shameful that the party is resorting to the burning of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s effigies when there are belt shops everywhere much to detriment to the society,” he said.
