SC Remarks: Revanth expresses unconditional regret, says comments were taken out of context
Hyderabad: A day after the Supreme Court cautioned him over remarks about BRS MLC Kalvakuntla Kavitha's bail in the Delhi liquor scam case, Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy on Friday issued a statement expressing regret.
He described himself as “a firm believer of the judicial process” and clarified that his comments had been misrepresented. "The remarks attributed to me in such reports have been taken out of context," Revanth Reddy said.
In a post on the social media platform X, Revanth said: "I have 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 am a firm believer of the judicial process. I unconditionally express my regret for the statements reflected in the press reports.” However, he maintained that his remarks had been taken out of context.
Revanth Reddy concluded by emphasising his "unconditional respect & highest regard for the Judiciary & its independence" and asserting, "As a firm believer in the Constitution of India and its ethos, I have and continue to hold the Judiciary in its highest esteem," the CM said.
