"Enforcement Directorate Summons Is PM's Summons": BRS' K Kavitha To NDTV

"In India, there's no difference between Enforcement Directorate summons and Modi's summons," K Kavitha told NDTV

Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao's daughter K Kavitha asserted today that questioning by any central investigative agency is equivalent to being questioned by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. In an exclusive interview to NDTV, Ms Kavitha -- soon to be questioned in the alleged liquor policy scam in Delhi -- said while the onus is on her to prove that she has done no wrong, "how can I fight the entire system".

The Central investigation agencies have alleged that Ms Kavitha is part of the liquor lobby it dubbed the "South cartel" that benefited from the kickbacks in the now withdrawn liquor policy of Delhi, in which Aam Aadmi Party leader Manish Sisodia has been arrested.

She was questioned by the Central Bureau of Investigation in December. Now the Enforcement Directorate has summoned her for questioning, which will now take place on March 11.

"In India, there's no difference between Enforcement Directorate summons and Modi's summons... It is a practice now wherever there's an election, before PM, the Enforcement Directorate comes. What can the Opposition do? Go to people's court or the Supreme Court," alleged the Bharat Rashtra Samithi MLC.
