CM Gehlot reacts on ED raids at Cong leaders in Chattisgarh

Jaipur: Reacting sharply to the Enforcement Directorate’s raids to premises linked to Congress leaders in Chhattisgarh ahead of the Congress party’s plenary session, Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot on Monday said that there is anguish among all the Congress workers across the state.

He condemned the raids and said that raids are not carried out on the premises of BJP leaders and the ‘drama’ which is happening in the country is being watched by all.

CM Gehlot, in a video statement, accused the BJP of destroying the constitution.

“Raids are one-sided, only Congress leaders are raided. There has been no raid at any BJP leader’s house. BJP people first accuse the Congress leaders, then catch them and take them to their party. The charges against those leaders automatically end as soon as they join BJP,” he said. “The situation in the country is very serious. Ed, CBI, Income Tax are being misused continuously since 2014. In the state where elections come, first action there is taken by ED, CBI and Income Tax department,” he alleged.

Gehlot said that the Congress party’s plenary session is going to be held in Raipur, Chhattisgarh and BJP being a national party knows its importance.
