In a concerning development, BRS MLC Kalvakuntla Kavitha, who has been under remand at Tihar Jail for the past four months, was rushed to Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital in Delhi after reportedly falling ill. The exact details of her health condition are yet to be disclosed, but it is confirmed that she is currently undergoing treatment at the hospital.
Kavitha, the daughter of Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao, was arrested on March 15th in connection with the Delhi Liquor Policy scam. Both the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) have filed cases against her, accusing her of being a primary conspirator in the scandal.
The allegations include her involvement in a Rs 100 crore bribe to top leaders of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), including Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and former Deputy CM Manish Sisodia.
Despite multiple attempts, Kavitha has been denied bail by both the Rouse Avenue Court and the Delhi High Court. Her arrest has been a significant setback for the BRS, especially with the Lok Sabha elections on the horizon.
The incident has reignited discussions about the conditions and safety of inmates in Tihar Jail. Kavitha’s sudden health deterioration has raised questions about the medical facilities and care provided within the prison.
As the investigation into the Delhi Liquor Policy scam continues, the focus now shifts to Kavitha’s health and recovery. Her legal team and supporters are closely monitoring the situation, hoping for a swift recovery.
This development also brings to light the broader implications for the BRS and its political strategies moving forward. With key leaders embroiled in legal battles, the party faces an uphill task in maintaining its political momentum.
