Earlier, posters featuring leaders who joined BJP from other parties were put up in Hyderabad comparing them to Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) MLC and Telangana chief minister K Chandrashekar Rao's daughter K Kavitha ahead of her appearance before Enforcement Directorate in Delhi on Friday, in connection with the liquor policy case.

K Kavitha on Saturday arrived at the Enforcement Directorate office in the national capital for questioning in connection to the Delhi liquor policy case. Earlier in the day, the party workers and supporters gathered outside KCR's residence in the national capital. Kavitha had asked the federal probe agency to postpone her questioning to Saturday, citing her hunger strike in Delhi on Friday.

Kavitha was made to sit face-to-face with Hyderabad-based businessman Arun Ramchandra Pillai, who was arrested in connection with the liquor policy case on Monday night, ANI reported citing sources. The MLC termed the summons as "tactics of intimidation" by the Centre against the Telangana CM KCR and the BRS, adding that the party will continue to fight and expose the Centre's failures and will raise its voice for a brighter and better future for India.

The BRS on March 8 slammed the Centre after the ED summoned Kavitha in connection with its ongoing probe in the case and said that the central probe agencies have become an extended arm of the BJP.

Referring to the summons as "politically motivated", BRS leader Ravula Sridhar Reddy had said that except ED and BJP, nobody really understands the case registered in connection with the new-withdrawn new Delhi excise policy. In its investigation, ED has come to know that Pillai is one of the key persons in the entire scam involving payments of huge kickbacks and the formation of the biggest cartel of the South Group, ANI reported.

After the ED questioning, K Kavitha went back to Hyderabad. She has been summoned by the central agency again on March 16, officials said, as reported by ANI.

Notably, former Delhi deputy CM Manish Sisodia has been arrested by ED in the same case.
