Hyderabad: Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president K T Rama Rao (KTR) slams Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Bandi Sanjay for his comments on the Supreme Court granting Bail to Kalvakuntla Kavitha. Rao further urged the apex court to initiate contempt proceedings.

Taking to X (formerly twitter), “Congratulations to the Congress party and its advocates for securing bail for BRS MLC in the infamous liquor Scam. Your untiring efforts finally yielded fruits. This bail is a win for both BRS and Congress —BRS leader is out on bail and the Congressman gets to Rajya Sabha. Remarkable political acumen by KCR in supporting the candidate, who initially argued for the bail, to be nominated to Rajya Sabha unopposed by the ruling Congress. Congratulations to the partners in crime who wine and dine(sic)”.

Responding to the same KTR posted in X, “You are a union minister incharge of Home Affairs and casting aspersions on the Supreme Court !! Highly unbecoming of your position. I respectfully urge the Chief Justice of India and the respected Supreme Court to take cognisance of these comments and initiate contempt proceedings”.

The Supreme Court granted bail to the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader Kalvakuntla Kavitha in connection with the Delhi excise policy scam, which is being investigated by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Tuesday. Kavitha was in Tihar jail for the past five months.

In its order, the Supreme Court set aside the lower court’s decision and directed Kavitha’s immediate release on bail. The Court ordered that Kavitha to be released forthwith on submitting bail bonds of Rs 10 lakhs each in both cases, shall not tamper with evidence or influence proceedings. Kavitha was ordered to surrender her passport and regularly report to the investigating agencies.
