Kavitha’s arrest in the Delhi liquor Policy case, Ram Mandir politics, arrest of Arvind Kejriwal and investments of Gautam Adani in Telangana.
Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy said he has not yet started revenge politics and indicated that if at all the ongoing investigations into the Kaleshwaram fiasco and Phone tapping issues are considered taking revenge against former CM K. Chandrashekhar Rao they it is their problem.
“In fact, I have not yet started taking revenge,” he said with a grin on his face in response to a question that he was in a revengeful mood against Mr. Rao for sending him to jail when he was in the Telugu Desam Party (TDP).
Mr. Reddy, who participated in a talk show on a private television channel, answered a range of questions, including calling Prime Minister Narendra Modi as ‘Bade Bhai’ (big brother), the impact of Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) MLC K. Kavitha’s arrest in the Delhi liquor Policy case, Ram Mandir politics, arrest of Arvind Kejriwal and investments of Gautam Adani in Telangana.

On the oft-repeated claims of the BRS that the lion (Mr. KCR) will come out roaring, he shot back saying he was waiting with a “gun to shoot the lion”.
“I don’t target cats but only lions,” he said reflecting his long rivalry with Mr. KCR.
Ruling out any sympathy for BRS after Ms. Kavitha’s arrest, he said no one in Telangana was even discussing it. ‘If KCR was arrested by the BJP during the Assembly elections there could have been little sympathy for him. But Kavitha’s arrest is not at all an issue in Telangana, he said arguing that she was arrested in a corruption charge in Delhi and not in Telangana.
