New Delhi: As K Kavitha, an MLC for the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and the daughter of K Chandrashekar Rao of Telangana, is scheduled to appear before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) today, March 11,  for questioning in relation to the case involving the Delhi liquor policy, party members and supporters have gathered outside KCR's residence in the nation's capital.

Kavitha began her hunger strike earlier on Friday at Jantar Mantar in the nation's capital in an effort to get the Women's Reservation Bill introduced during the current budget session of Parliament.

Citing her hunger strike scheduled in Delhi on Friday, Kavita asked the probe agency to postpone her questioning till Saturday. Interestingly, the ED has detained former deputy chief minister of Delhi Manish Sisodia in connection with the same case. She had arrived in New Delhi on March 8, hours after the ED issued a summons for questioning. On Friday, BRS leader KT Rama Rao also made his way to his father's home in the nation's capital.

Sources claim that Arun Ramchandra Pillai, a businessman from Hyderabad who was detained on Monday night in connection with the spirits policy issue, will be forced to sit down face-to-face with Kavitha.

The MLC referred to the summonses as "tactics of intimidation" used by the Centre against Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao and the BRS, and stated that the party would continue to struggle, expose the Centre's failings, and speak up for a better and brighter future for India.

"I also want the center-right party in power to know that we won't be deterred by their intimidation tactics against our leader, CM KCR, and the entire BRS party. We shall keep fighting to expose your failings and speak out for an India with a better and brighter future under the direction of KCR Garu "In a tweet, Kavitha said.

Once the ED questioned Kavitha as part of its ongoing investigation into the Delhi excise policy case, the BRS harshly criticised the Centre on March 8 and said that the central investigation agencies had turned into an extension of the BJP.

Ravula Sridhar Reddy, a BRS leader, claimed that the summons were "politically motivated" and claimed that nobody, outside the ED and the BJP, understood the case that had been filed in relation to the recently rescinded new Delhi excise policy.
