Hyderabad: Enforcement Directorate on Wednesday summoned K Kavitha, Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) MLC and daughter of Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao for questioning on Thursday in the Delhi Excise Policy case.

CBI, which is also probing the case, had questioned her in Hyderabad on December 11.

The ED has issued summons to Kavitha at a time when she is preparing to stage a peaceful hunger strike in New Delhi on March 10 demanding the passage of Women’s Reservation bill in Parliament.

On Tuesday, the agency took into custody Hyderabad-based liquor businessman, Arun Ramchandra Pillai, who allegedly represented the interests of BRS MLC. During the questioning, ED is expected to confront her with the purported disclosures made by him.

Reacting to the summons, Kavitha in a statement said ‘As a law-abiding citizen, I will fully cooperate with the investigation agencies.

However, due to the Dharna and prefixed appointments I’ll seek legal opinions on the date of attending it.’

‘I will fully cooperate with ED’

Confirming the summons received from the Enforcement Directorate in Delhi excise policy case, Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) MLC KKavitha on Wednesday said ‘she would fully cooperate with the investigation agency but would seek legal opinion on the date of attending due to her proposed dharna at Jantar Mantar in the National Capital on March 10.’

In a statement, Kavitha, daughter of BRS National President and Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao said the Women’s Reservation Bill has been long-pending; our only demand is to table it in parliament to give women their due share of political participation.

Bharath Jagruthi, along with opposition parties and women’s organisations from all across the country, will come together on Friday at Jantar Mantar, for a one day peaceful hunger strike, demanding the BJP government to introduce & pass the Women’s Reservation Bill, she said.

However, in the light of these events, I have been summoned by the Enforcement Directorate to appear on Thursday in New Delhi, she said “ As a law-abiding citizen, I will fully cooperate with the investigation agencies. 

However, due to the Dharna and prefixed appointments, I’ll seek legal opinions on the date of attending it” .

“I would also like the ruling party at the Centre to know that these tactics of intimidation against the fight and voice of our leader, KCR, and against the entire BRS party will not deter us”, Kavitha said, under the leadership of KCR , “we will continue to fight to expose your failures & raise voice for a brighter and better future for India” .

Let me also remind the power mongers in Delhi that Telangana has never and will never ‘ bow ‘ before the oppressive anti people regime. We will fearlessly and fiercely fight for the rights of the people, she added.

It may be mentioned here that the CBI, which is also probing the case, questioned her in Hyderabad on December 11 last year.
