Hyderabad, February 27 Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president K. T. Rama Rao said on Friday that the Kejriwal government was brought down under the guise of the "so-called liquor scam", and the political casualty of that narrative was the BRS, in both the Assembly and Lok Sabha elections.
Rama Rao was reacting to a Delhi court order, which acquitted former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, and 21 others, including his sister K. Kavitha, in the Delhi liquor policy case.
KTR posted on 'X' that Kavita had received justice in court. "Kavita Garu received justice in court today, and in the same manner, every case registered against our leaders will be conclusively proven as false, politically motivated, and fabricated," wrote the BRS leader.
"Until that truth prevails, we will continue to witness reckless allegations from the Congress and the BJP, amplified by media trials designed to malign and mislead. Unfortunately, this has now become the new norm in 'New India', where accusations replace evidence, and media narratives attempt to substitute due process, but in the end, justice will prevail," KTR added.
BRS, which had been in power in Telangana since the state's formation in 2014, suffered defeat in the 2023 Assembly elections. It also failed to win any seats in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
Kavitha was a BRS MLC at the time of her arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in March 2024. She spent more than five months in jail before being released on bail.
Last year, Kavitha quit BRS and also resigned as MLC after being suspended from the party for anti-party activities.
She is now heading Telangana Jagruthi, a cultural organization that she had founded during the Telangana movement, and plans to launch a political party.
Reacting to the court order, Kavitha said that justice had prevailed. She stated that the judiciary had cut through the web of lies.
She said that the case was politically motivated and was filed as part of a vendetta against the opposition parties.
