Hyderabad, August 27, 2024: BRS working president KT Rama Rao on Tuesday urged the Chief Justice of India and the Supreme Court to initiate contempt of court proceedings against Minister of State for Home Affairs Bandi Sanjay for his remarks on the bail granted to BRS MLC K Kavitha in the Delhi liquor policy case.
Rama Rao took strong exception to Sanjay’s comments, which he described as defamatory and disrespectful toward the Supreme Court. He emphasized that as a union minister in charge of Home Affairs, Sanjay’s remarks were highly inappropriate and cast aspersions on the judiciary.
“Highly unbecoming of your position,” Rama Rao stated, adding, “I respectfully urge the Hon’ble Chief Justice of India & the respected Supreme Court to take cognizance.” His statement came after Sanjay congratulated the Congress party and its advocates for securing Kavitha’s bail, implying a connection between the BRS and Congress in the matter.
In his post on X (formerly Twitter), Sanjay had sarcastically congratulated both the Congress party and its advocates, saying their “untiring efforts” had secured Kavitha’s bail in the “infamous liquor scam.” He also insinuated that the bail was a joint victory for both BRS and Congress, referencing the nomination of the Congress candidate who argued for Kavitha’s bail to the Rajya Sabha.
