CBI raids on Cong leaders: Lakshmi Hebbalkar calls it political vendetta

Bengaluru: Former minister and Congress MLA Lakshmi Hebbalkar condemning the CBI raid on KPCC President’s house said that this is vendetta for what DK Shivakumar did during the RS polls of our leader Ahmed Patel

Addressing presspersons in Belagavi Lakshmi said, “After ED and I-T they have unleashed CBI. This is vendetta for what DKS did during the RS polls of our leader Ahmed Patel.”

“We have belief and trust in the judiciary. We will fight it out,” Lakshmi Hebbalkar added.

Hundreds of supporters of the Congress leader gathered at the posh Sadashivnagar residence of Shivakumar and Suresh. Suresh appeared on the balcony of his residence and asked the supporters with folded hands to disperse, saying that the officials should be allowed to do their job.

Shivakumar was arrested on September 23 last year by ED in the money laundering case and was lodged in Delhi’s Tihar Jail under judicial custody. He was released a month later after Delhi High Court granted him bail.
