A sarcastic post by a senior BJP leader about the Supreme Court's bail decision for Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader K Kavitha drew a strong reaction from her brother and former Telangana minister KT Rama Rao, popularly known as KTR. Earlier today, the top court granted bail to Kavitha in the corruption and money laundering cases linked to the alleged Delhi excise policy scam.

Bandi Sanjay Kumar, a senior BJP leader and Union Minister of State for Home Affairs, made a sarcastic comment about the development. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), he congratulated the Congress party and its advocates for securing bail for Kavitha, calling it a "win for both BRS and Congress."

"Congratulations to the Congress party and its advocates for securing bail for BRS MLC in the infamous liquor Scam. Your untiring efforts finally yielded fruits," Kumar wrote on X.

"This bail is a win for both BRS and Congress -BRS leader is out on bail & the Congress man gets to Rajya Sabha. Remarkable political acumen by KCR in supporting the candidate, who initially argued for the bail, to be nominated to Rajya Sabha unopposed by the ruling Congress. Congratulations to the partners in crime who wine & dine," the Minister of State for Home Affairs added.

In a strong rebuttal, KTR criticised Kumar's post on X as "highly unbecoming" of a Union Minister. He urged the apex court to consider the remarks and initiate contempt proceedings.

"You're a union minister in charge of Home Affairs & casting aspersions on Supreme Court !! Highly unbecoming of your position. I respectfully urge the Hon'ble Chief Justice of India & the respected Supreme Court to take cognisance of these comments and initiate contempt proceedings," KTR said in reply to the post.
