Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan Resigns March 18, 2024 13:52

Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan Resigns:- Tamilisai Soundararajan, the Governor of Telangana and Lieutenant-Governor of Puducherry, has stepped down from both positions today. According to sources, she is expected to run for the Lok Sabha election in 2024. Ms Soundararajan, who previously led the Bharatiya Janata Party's Tamil Nadu unit, took office as Telangana's Governor in November 2019 and later assumed the additional responsibility of Lieutenant-Governor of Puducherry in February 2021. It is speculated that she might contest for the lone Lok Sabha seat in Puducherry, currently held by the Congress. The BJP believes that she has a strong connection with the people of Puducherry. There are also rumors that she could be fielded from one of the three seats in Tamil Nadu, including the Thoothukudi seat currently held by Kanimozhi of the ruling Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam. In the past, Ms Soundararajan has contested elections from various seats but has not been successful. She ran for the same Thoothukudi seat in the 2019 election and lost. In 2009, she contested the Chennai (North) seat but was defeated by TKS Elangovan of the DMK. She has also contested in the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections three times, from Radhapuram in 2006, Velachery in 2011, and Virugampakkam in 2016. Before the Lok Sabha election, which will be conducted in seven phases starting from April 19, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has been actively engaged in the southern region of India, where the party has faced challenges. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has already visited Tamil Nadu five times this year, as the BJP lacks a significant alliance partner in the state. (Video Source: NTV Telugu)

ED seizes Kavitha's Mobile Phones March 16, 2024 12:25

ED seizes Kavitha's Mobile Phones:- K Kavitha, a member of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and daughter of former Telangana CM K Chandrasekhar Rao, was taken to the Directorate of Enforcement (ED) office in Delhi on Saturday, a few hours after her arrest in connection with a money laundering case related to the Delhi excise policy. The arrest followed a day-long interrogation and a search at her residence in Hyderabad. She is expected to appear before a special court in Delhi today, possibly in the afternoon. During the search, the ED found five mobile phones at K Kavitha's house. A witness stated that the ED presented a search warrant, but Kavitha initially resisted the investigation. However, the search eventually commenced. The operation at K Kavitha's house began on Friday at around 1:45 pm and concluded at approximately 6:45 pm. In the arrest order, the ED investigation officer stated, "I believe that Smt. Kalvakuntla Kavitha, wife of Mr. D R Anil Kumar, residing at H. No. As provided in section 19, sub section (1) of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 (915 of 2003), I, therefore, exercise my authority to apprehend Smt. Kalvakuntla Kavitha at 05.20 pm on 15.03.2024. She has been duly informed of the reasons for her arrest, and a comprehensive document detailing these reasons (spanning 14 pages) has been presented to her. This action follows nearly two months after the Enforcement Directorate (ED) issued summonses to the 45-year-old BRS MLC. Last year, she was questioned on three separate occasions in relation to this case, and her statement was recorded by the central agency under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). The BRS leader previously asserted her innocence and accused the BJP of utilizing the ED to gain unauthorized access to Telangana. It is worth noting that Kavitha was also interrogated by the CBI in connection with the money laundering case. The ED initiated their case after taking into account the CBI's First Information Report (FIR). The investigation revealed that a group called the "South Group" was formed by a cartel. This group included Telangana MLC Kavitha, Sarath Reddy (promoter of Aurobindo Group), Magunta Srinivasulu Reddy (MP, Ongole), his son Raghav Magunta, and others. Pillai, Abhishek Boinpalli, and Butchi Babu were the representatives of the South Group during the investigation conducted by the federal agency. (Video Source: ABN Telugu)

Breaking: Kalvakuntla Kavitha Arrested March 15, 2024 19:37

Breaking: Kalvakuntla Kavitha Arrested:- The recent arrest of Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) MLC Kalvakuntla Kavitha in the alleged Delhi liquor scam case has sparked controversy and political speculations. Kavitha, daughter of former Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao, was taken into custody by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) following searches at her residence in Hyderabad. Her brother and BRS working president, KT Rama Rao, voiced concerns about the ED's actions, alleging a violation of its undertaking in the Supreme Court. The timing of Kavitha's arrest, just before the general elections, has raised suspicions of political motives, with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) being accused of orchestrating a targeted move. BRS spokesperson Krishank Manne highlighted the ED's prior notices to Kavitha, suggesting a pattern of timing with significant political events. The ED's investigation into the alleged liquor scam involves allegations of kickbacks to Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders for influence over the liquor business in Delhi. The arrest of Kavitha stemmed from revelations made by businessman Arun Ramchandran Pillai, who claimed to represent her interests in the case. The ED's scrutiny of the Delhi liquor policy scam and its implications for AAP leaders has intensified the political climate surrounding the issue. As the Election Commission of India prepares to announce the Lok Sabha poll schedule, the developments in Kavitha's case have further heightened tensions between political factions. The nexus between corruption, political influence, and business interests in the liquor industry underscores the complex dynamics at play in this unfolding saga. (Video Source: NTV Telugu)

ED and IT raids on Kalvakuntla Kavitha March 15, 2024 17:28

ED and IT raids on Kalvakuntla Kavitha:- As per the recent developments, the Enforcement Directorate carried out raids at the Hyderabad premises of BRS leader Kalvakuntla Kavitha in connection with the Delhi liquor policy case. The search operation was conducted by a team of 10 officers from Delhi, with a significant presence of police officials near Kavitha's residence during the raid. Income Tax officials were also present at the scene along with the ED team. Kalvakuntla Kavitha's name emerged in the Delhi excise policy scam investigation as ED uncovered her links to a 'south group' of liquor traders seeking to exploit the now-defunct policy for 2021-22. This is not the first time Kavitha has come under scrutiny, as she had previously avoided multiple summons issued by the agency. The ED first approached the BRS leader in 2023 regarding her alleged association with Vijay Nair, the communication head of AAP. Nair was reportedly involved with business figures from the liquor industry and politicians in the development and implementation of policies. Kavitha was presented with written statements from her former chartered accountant Butchibabu Gorantla and associate Arun Ramchandra Pillai, who highlighted her interactions with Nair and others. Butchibabu, who was arrested by the Central Board of Investigation earlier this year, disclosed in his statement to the ED that Kavitha had a political understanding with Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal and former Deputy CM Manish Sisodia. He noted a meeting between Kavitha and Vijay Nair in March 2021, where Nair allegedly tried to impress Kavitha with his influence over the policy decisions. These revelations indicate a complex web of relationships and dealings in the political and business spheres involving Kalvakuntla Kavitha and other influential figures, raising questions about potential misconduct and conflicts of interest. The ongoing investigations by enforcement agencies aim to uncover the truth behind these allegations and hold accountable those involved in any illicit activities. (Video Source: NTV Telugu)

Supreme Court Slams SBI For Not Sharing Complete Data March 15, 2024 16:18

Supreme Court Slams SBI For Not Sharing Complete Data:- The Supreme Court has taken a firm stance against the State Bank of India for withholding complete data on electoral bonds, a scheme that allowed anonymous donations to political parties. The court had previously invalidated the scheme and instructed SBI to disclose all donation details from the past 5 years. Responding to a petition from the Election Commission, the Supreme Court criticized SBI for providing incomplete information and demanded that the bank also reveal electoral bond numbers. The five-judge bench led by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud emphasized the importance of transparency, stating that SBI must divulge the bond numbers as well. During the hearing, Chief Justice Chandrachud questioned SBI's representation and emphasized the necessity of disclosing all relevant information. The court has scheduled the next hearing for March 18 and has directed SBI to clarify the lapse in sharing complete data. The revelation of electoral bond numbers is crucial for establishing the connection between donors and political parties. Introduced by the BJP government in 2018, electoral bonds were intended to provide a transparent alternative to cash donations. However, the Supreme Court invalidated the scheme last month on constitutional grounds and raised concerns about potential quid pro quo arrangements. The court has urged SBI to cooperate fully with the Election Commission and disclose all details regarding the purchase and redemption of electoral bonds. The upcoming hearing will shed further light on the handling of electoral bond data and the implications for political funding transparency.
