Mallikarjun Kharge slams BJP over ED raids in Rajasthan, says 'last move ahead of polls seeing defeat'

New Delhi/IBNS/UNI: Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge Thursday tore into Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) over Enforcement Directorate raids at the premises of Rajasthan Congress leader Govind Singh Dotasra and summons to Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot’s son Vaibhav Gehlot.

Taking a dig at the BJP-rule Centre, Kharge said seeing its “certain defeat in Rajasthan” BJP made its last move.

ED raided the premises of Rajasthan Congress leader Dotasra in connection with the alleged paper lead case and issued summons to Ashok Gehlot’s son Vaibhav Gehlot.

Reacting to the ED’s action, Kharge attacked the BJP, saying as soon as elections come, the probe agencies become the real ‘Panna Pramukh’ of the saffron party.

Taking to his X page, Kharge tweeted: “As soon as elections come, ED, CBI, IT, become the real ‘Panna Pramukh’ of BJP. Seeing its certain defeat in Rajasthan, BJP made its last move. After Chhattisgarh, ED has also started action against Congress leaders entering the assembly election campaign in Rajasthan.”

“The dictatorship of Modi government is fatal for democracy. We will continue to fight against the misuse of agencies, the public will give a befitting reply to the BJP,” he further wrote.

On the ED raid, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot alleged that the saffron party does not want women, farmers, and poor in Rajasthan to get the benefit of the guarantees given by Congress.

Informing about the ED raids, Gehlot posted on X, “ED raid on Rajasthan Congress president Govind Singh Ji Dotasara, summons to my son Vaibhav Gehlot to appear in ED. Now you can understand what I have been saying that ED’s Red Rose is happening inside Rajasthan because BJP does not want that women, farmers and poor in Rajasthan should get the benefit of the guarantees given by Congress.”
