Hyderabad: Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) MLC K Kavitha, who was lodged in the Tihar Jail for 165 days, finally reached landed in the city after she was granted a conditional bail by the Supreme Court on August 26. The BRS leader, who is the daughter of party supremo and ex-Telangana chief minister K Chandrashekar Rao (KCR), was brought back by her brother and BRS working president KT Rama Rao.
BRS leaders in Hyderabad gave a grand welcome on her arrival at the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA) on Tuesday afternoon. Party workers held a huge vehicle rally from the airport on her arrival.

Kavitha asserted what she said earlier this week, that she will continue to wage a “fight against the forces which falsely implicated” her in the case with political vendetta. The BRS MLC was indicted in the infamous Delhi Liquor Policy case on charges of money laundering, in which Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal was also arrested by the Enforcement Directorate.
Analysts believe that Kavitha’s homecoming will boost the BRS’ prospects in Telangana, which has been on a downward slump ever since it lost the Assembly elections last year. The BRS also drew a blank in this year’s Lok Sabha elections.
The Enforcement Directorate had arrested Kavitha from her Banjara Hills residence in Hyderabad on March 15 and the CBI had arrested her from Tihar jail on April 11. Kavitha has been accused of being part of the ‘South Group’, a cartel of businessmen and politicians, which allegedly paid kickbacks of Rs 100 crore to Delhi’s ruling AAP in return for liquor licences. She has denied all allegations
