Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Friday claimed that an Enforcement Directorate raid is being planned against him after his 'chakravyuh' speech in Parliament which was however dismissed by BJP which said the senior Congress Leader is creating a new narrative to distract people from asking about his accountability as the MP from Wayanad following the devastating landslide tragedy there.
In a social media post Rahul Gandhi said, "Apparently, 2 in 1 didn't like my Chakravyuh speech. ED insiders' tell me a raid is being planned. Waiting with open arms for ED’s tea and biscuits to be served on me”. In another development, Congress MP Manickam Tagore submitted a notice to move an adjournment motion on "the BJP Government's misuse of agencies like the ED, CBI, and Income Tax for political harassment". Reacting to Rahul Gandhi's claim, BJP Leader and former Union Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar said the former Congress chief might have been told that people are asking questions about his accountability so he has sought to create a new narrative.However, several Congress and Opposition leaders rallied behind Rahul and accused the Government of "misusing" probe agencies. Rashtriya Loktantrik Party and Nagaur MP Hanuman Ramdev Beniwal said Rahul was right and probe agencies are being misused by the Centre.
