Chief Minister Revanth Reddy today expressed regret over the Supreme Court "taking his comments out of context", and reiterated that he was a firm believer of the judicial process.
The Chief Minister said this a day after the Supreme Court rapped him for his comments on the bail granted to BRS MLC K Kavitha.
Taking to X on Friday, the Chief Minister said that he had the highest regard for and full faith in the Indian judiciary.
"I understand that certain press reports on August 29, 2024, containing comments attributed to me have given the impression that I am questioning the judicial wisdom of the Honorable Court. The remarks attributed to me in such reports have been taken out of context. I have unconditional respect and highest regard for the judiciary and 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," Reddy claimed.
During a chit chat with media persons after laying the foundation for the installation of a Telangana Thalli statue in the Secretariat, the Chief Minister alleged that BRS MLC Kavitha had secured bail from the Supreme Court due to a tacit understanding between the BJP and the BRS, which made the apex court see red.
