Revanth Reddy Remark Taken Out of Context: Telangana Chief Minister on Friday issued an apology over the remarks he made about the bail granted to Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader K Kavitha in the Delhi liquor policy case.

The apology came after the Supreme Court admonished the Telangana CM over his comments claiming the bail for the BRS leader was due to a “deal” between BRS and the BJP.

In a post on X, Reddy wrote that he has “the highest regard and full faith” in the Indian Judiciary.

“I understand that certain press reports dated 29th August, 2024 containing comments attributed to me have given the impression that I am questioning the judicial wisdom of the Hon’ble Court. I reiterate that I am a firm believer of the judicial process. I unconditionally express my regret for the statements reflected in the press reports. The remarks attributed to me in such reports have been taken out of context. I have unconditional respect & highest regard for the Judiciary & its independence. As a firm believer in the Constitution of India and its ethos, I have and continue to hold the Judiciary in its highest esteem,” he wrote.

The top court flagged had deep concern over the “manner of a statement” made by Revanth Reddy. “Have you read what (he) said… just read… such statements by a Chief Minister might rightly create apprehension,” it said.

“Should a person holding a constitutional post make such statements? There should be mutual respect (between politicians and judiciary)… how can anyone say we pass orders for political reasons?” the court said, “If you do not respect (us) then we will send (your) trial elsewhere,” it added.

K Kavitha was granted bail in the Delhi liquor policy case on August 27, observing that prolonged incarceration before being pronounced guilty of an offence should not be permitted to become a punishment without trial.

After the verdict, the Telangana Chief Minister commented, “It is a fact that BRS worked for the victory of the BJP in the 2024 LS polls. There is also talk that Kavitha got bail because of the deal between BRS and BJP”.
