Kalvakuntla Kavitha, Telangana MLC and daughter of former Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao (KCR), was granted bail in the high-profile Delhi liquor scam case yesterday. Her return to Hyderabad has sparked a range of reactions across the political spectrum. Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy has voiced skepticism over the swift nature of Kavitha's bail, suggesting that it might be indicative of a behind-the-scenes deal between the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

Revanth Reddy remarked that Kavitha's bail, granted in just five and a half months, contrasts sharply with the prolonged legal battles faced by other high-profile figures like Manish Sisodia and Arvind Kejriwal, who spent over a year fighting their cases without similar relief. He inferred that BRS might have facilitated votes for BJP in Telangana elections as part of an unspoken arrangement. This commentary underscores ongoing suspicions of political maneuvering between the ruling BRS and BJP.

The BJP, on the other hand, has directed its criticism towards the Congress party, accusing both the ruling and opposition parties in Telangana of being in league with one another. Amidst these tensions, BRS supporters are buoyed by Kavitha’s release, hoping it signals a more aggressive stance from KCR against the opposition. The political landscape in Telangana remains charged as these developments continue to unfold.
