'My Daughter Is Innocent': KCR Denies Allegations Against K Kavitha In Delhi Liquor Policy Case

Hyderabad: Former Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao on Tuesday refuted all allegations against his daughter, K Kavitha, in the Delhi liquor policy case. He said that the “scam” was created by the Centre to strengthen the BJP's influence over the Aam Aadmi Party and the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS).

KCR said that his daughter is "innocent", adding that such big leaders should not be jailed for so long. Speaking to news agency ANI, the BRS chief said, “They (BJP) have troubled every CM in the country...But they were unable to catch hold of Arvind Kejriwal and K Chandrashekar Rao, they were strong leaders and were running governments.”

He added, “So they framed a conspiracy for political benefit through the LG of Delhi. Delhi's Excise Policy was turned into a scam and a false case was framed...and arrested Arvind Kejriwal and my daughter K Kavitha unnecessarily. Nothing was recovered.”

KCR claimed that K Kavitha knows nothing about the case and added that there is "no scam at all." He said, “They arrested Arvind Kejriwal and my daughter, she doesn't even know about this thing, she is completely innocent. Delhi Liquor Scam is not a scam at all, it is a scam created by Narendra Modi. It is a political scam of Narendra Modi. I openly say it to the whole country. The accused was made approvers, he got bail and deposited ₹ 50 crore to BJP through bonds. What is this drama?”

Speaking on the denial of bail to the accused leaders, KCR questioned who would compensate them for the period they spent behind bars if they were proven innocent. He stated, “The whole country is thinking about this, my daughter is MLC, she is a star campaigner. Will she run away? Why is she not getting bail? How can they keep her for weeks? If they are proven innocent, who will repay this sentence period?”

Notably, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and BRS leader K Kavitha are under judicial custody in connection with the Delhi excise policy case. A Delhi court extended their judicial custody until May 7. K Kavitha was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on March 15 after a search was conducted at her residence in Hyderabad.
