Telangana Congress has wondered how people from Telangana were involved in the liquor policy of the Delhi government and sought an inquiry into the alleged role of MLC K. Kavitha.
Congress Legislature Party (CLP) leader Bhatti Vikramarka, who spoke to the media in New Delhi along with Nalgonda MP N. Uttam Kumar Reddy, Manthani MLA D. Sreedhar Babu, MLC T. Jeevan Reddy and TPCC Campaign Committee chairman Madhu Yaskhi Goud, said it was surprising that people from Telangana had rented rooms in Oberoi Hotel and were framing the excise policy. “I can’t imagine people coming from Hyderabad in special flights to New Delhi to decide on the excise policy since similar policy existed in Telangana,” he said.
He said if this was a big scam in Delhi then the policy in Telangana should also be a scam. In the combined Andhra Pradesh the excise revenue was less than ₹10,000 crore and this has now increased to ₹30,000 crore in a small State like Telangana. “We have been raising the issue on the liquor prices, supplies and the commissions involved in it but there is no response from the government.”
