K Kavitha Poll: Will ED’s Investigation Impact the Telangana Election 2023?
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) communicated to the Supreme Court that BRS MLC K Kavitha will not be summoned prior to the hearing on the Delhi excise policy case on September 26. Kavitha’s legal representation argued against ED’s practice of summoning women to their offices, suggesting home interrogations instead. Kavitha avoided the ED summons on September 15, even as her petition was under the Supreme Court’s scrutiny. With multiple interrogations by the ED concerning the Delhi liquor case, Kavitha views these actions as politically charged maneuvers by the BJP, especially with the impending Telangana elections.
Telangana BJP president and Union Tourism Minister G. Kishan Reddy clarified that the BJP has no connection with the ED notice to MLC K. Kavitha. He further stated that the BJP was not concerned over who is getting noticed or who is getting arrested.
