ED notice to Kavitha part of political conspiracy, says BRS

Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) on Wednesday reacted sharply to the Enforcement Directorate (ED) notice to its leader K. Kavitha in Delhi excise scam and called it a part of political conspiracy against Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao. Several state ministers and BRS leaders slammed the BJP-led government at the Centre for the ED notice to Kavitha, a member of Telangana Legislative Council and daughter of Chandrasekhar Rao. They alleged that the notice was issued to Kavitha due to political malice as the BJP is scared of BRS growing strong. Ministers Jagdish Reddy, S. Niranjan Reddy, E. Dayakar Rao, Satyavathi Rathore and P. Ajay Kumar lashed out at Narendra Modi government for what they called its political vendetta. Energy minister Jagdish Reddy described the central government as an epitome of evil. He alleged that the BJP was misusing constitutional institutions. “This is not a notice issued as part of investigation by the agencies but this is done with political malice,” he said.
