Kavitha bail: Congress, BJP point fingers at each other for freeing BRS MLC

Hyderabad: BRS MLC K Kavitha's bail in Delhi excise policy scam has led to a three front war between Congress, Bharat Rashtra Samiti and Bharatiya Janata Party.

This war which is being fought on social media platform has got all the digital teams working in full swing to blame the others for the bail.

MOS Bandi Sanjay tweet

BJP leader and Union Minister Bandi Sanjay Kumar alleged that Congress and its advocates secured bail for Kavitha as per an understanding between the two parties.

Bandi Sanjay on X, "This bail is a win for both BRS and Congress —BRS leader is out on bail & the Congress man gets to Rajya Sabha," he said, in a reference to Congress leader Abhishek Manu Singhvi contesting the Rajya Sabha bypoll from Telangana.

"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 & dine," Kumar said.

The ruling Congress, however, claimed that Kavitha got bail as per a tacit understanding between BRS and the BJP.

Congress gives list of advocates

Telangana Congress media chairman Sama Ram Mohan Reddy put out the list of advocates who have appeared for Kavita's bail. He says, "Check the list of advocates, the attorney general of India in this case has been appointed by BJP government. It is a clear indication of BJP BRS pact. Bandi Sanjay is exposed."

Relief for BRS

The BRS, meanwhile, hailed the apex court granting bail to Kavitha and its working president K T Rama Rao hit back at Bandi Sanjay over his comments.

Taking exception to Kumar's comments, BRS leader Rama Rao said the Supreme Court should initiate contempt proceedings against him for allegedly casting aspersions on the apex court.

"You’re a union minister incharge of Home Affairs & casting aspersions on Supreme Court !! Highly unbecoming of your position," Rao said on 'X'.

"I respectfully urge the Hon’ble Chief Justice of India & the respected Supreme Court to take cognisance of these comments and initiate contempt proceedings," he said.

Congress alleges BRS BJP merger

Telangana Congress working president and MLC B Mahesh Kumar Goud claimed that BRS leaders Rama Rao and T Harish Rao "secured bail for Kavitha by falling on the feet of BJP leaders" in Delhi.

Alleging that BJP and BRS had tried to hurt the Congress, Goud said BRS had surrendered to BJP by having a tacit understanding in the Lok Sabha elections.

He further claimed that the BRS would merge with the BJP soon.

Both the BRS and BJP have earlier dismissed reports of an alliance or merger of the two parties.
