Hyderabad: Tension prevailed for a while near the house of Telangana Rashtra Samithi MLC K Kavitha on Monday afternoon after some activists of Bharatiya Janata Party, Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha and BJP Mahila Morcha tried to lay siege to the house. Several of them were taken into preventive custody.

The BJP workers tried to lay siege to the house of the MLC demanding her resignation after her name was dragged into the Delhi liquor policy scam. Kavitha had already termed the allegations baseless and is filing a defamation case against the Delhi BJP leaders.
