After Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Wednesday summoned Telangana CM K Chandrasekhar Rao's daughter Kavitha in the Delhi liquor scam, the BRS leader in a statement said that she will seek legal opinion on appearing before ED due to Dharna in Delhi's Jantar Mantar and prefixed appointments. 

In a statement, she said, "The Women's Reservation Bill has been long-pending, our only demand is to table it in the Parliament to give women their due share of political participation. Bharath Jagruthi, along with opposition parties and women’s organisations from all across the country, will come together on March 10 at Jantar Mantar, for a one-day peaceful hunger strike, demanding the BJP government to introduce and pass the Bill.

"In light of these events, I have been summoned by the Enforcement Directorate to appear on March 9th in New Delhi. As a law-abiding citizen, I will fully cooperate with the investigation agencies. However, due to the Dharna and prefixed appointments, I’ll seek legal opinions on the date of attending it."

While stating that the Centre's tactics of intimidation against the fight and voice of Telangana CM KCR and against the entire BRS Party will not deter them, she said that the party will continue to fight to expose the Centre's failures and raise their voice for a brighter and better future for the nation.

"Let me also remind the power mongers in Delhi that Telangana has never and will never bow before the oppressive anti-people regime. We will fearlessly and fiercely fight for the rights of the people," she said in a statement.

"...I have been summoned by ED to appear on March 9th in Delhi. As a law-abiding citizen, I'll fully cooperate with investigation agencies. However, due to the Dharna & prefixed appointments, I'll see legal opinions on the date of attending it," says BRS MLC K Kavitha https://t.co/U7PyXtInsV pic.twitter.com/u8Jan7eQZS
