‘Retaliation’: Earlier, while talking to reporters about this investigation, Kavita said, “BJP has taken power in 9 states of the country through the back door. As I cannot enter Telangana like that, it is using the enforcement department to interrogate me for revenge. I didn’t make a mistake. Therefore, I am not afraid of the investigation,” he said.
