Hyderabad, February 27 – The judiciary has cleared the entire web of lies, Telangana Jagruthi president Kalvakuntla Kavitha said on Friday after a Delhi court gave her and all others a clean chit in the Delhi liquor policy case.
She told the media that the truth has prevailed, and "the judgment has upheld their faith in the judiciary."
"We have repeatedly said that we have nothing to do with the case and that it was politically motivated. As part of a political vendetta, this case was targeted at opposition parties," she said.
"I am grateful to the judiciary. They have upheld our faith in the judiciary. The judiciary has cleared this entire web of lies. They have seen through it and the judiciary has transparently upheld our belief," said Kavitha, daughter of Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and former chief minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao.
Kavitha was a BRS MLC when she was arrested 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 she was suspended from the party for anti-party activities.
Kavitha, who is currently heading Telangana Jagruthi and plans to float a new political party, said she sought her mother's blessings immediately after the court announced its order. However, she declined to comment when asked if she would share her joy with her father KCR and brother KTR.
She thanked her in-laws, parents, husband, and children for standing by her during the "hell" she went through for five and a half months.
She also asked who would account for the time she spent with her family. She said that for three years, she was harassed online and targeted in public meetings.
Responding to a query, she said that KCR had also repeatedly stated that this case was a vendetta against BRS and KCR, which was reflected in Kavitha.
She thanked the leaders and supporters of Telangana Jagruthi who came to Delhi with their own money to show their solidarity with her when she was in jail.
The Rouse Avenue Court in Delhi on Friday acquitted Arvind Kejriwal, former Delhi Chief Minister, Manish Sisodia, Kavitha, and 20 others in the Delhi liquor policy case.
