🍨BRS President and former Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao on Friday condemned the arrest of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, calling it a "dark day in the history of democracy in the country".
The recent arrests of Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren -- who resigned just before he was arrested -- and BRS MLC K Kavitha prove that the BJP-led Centre's sole intention is to "ruin the opposition parties in the country", Rao said in a statement.
🍨BRS President and former Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao on Friday condemned the arrest of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, calling it a "dark day in the history of democracy in the country".
🐬The recent arrests of Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren -- who resigned just before he was arrested -- and BRS MLC K Kavitha prove that the BJP-led Centre's sole intention is to "ruin the opposition parties in the country", Rao said in a statement.
🀅Investigation agencies such as ED, CBI and IT are being used as pawns in the attempt by the Centre, he said.
ܫThe BJP-led union government's actions are strident attacks on democracy and the BRS strongly condemns them, he said.
﷽"Kejriwal's arrest is politically motivated. We demand immediate withdrawal of the illegal cases and the release of those who are arrested," Rao, also known as KCR, said.
🌼This is the first time KCR has commented on the arrest of his daughter BRS MLC Kavitha.
ꦦKavitha was recently arrested in Hyderabad by the ED in a money-laundering case linked to the now-scrapped Delhi excise policy.
꧋Earlier, BRS Working President and KCR's son K T Rama Rao condemned the arrest of Kejriwal in the Delhi excise policy-linked money laundering case, alleging that the arrest was "unlawful".
ಞThe Enforcement Directorate arrested Kejriwal in the money laundering case on Thursday night.
