Addressing a press conference, she said the agency sleuths landed up at the premises of Kejriwal's Personal Secretary Bibhav Kumar, party treasurer N D Gupta and others, without any written reference to any ECIR (enforcement case information report) or ongoing case investigation, and remained there for long hours.
The searches began in the early hours and were conducted at the residences of AAP treasurer and Rajya Sabha MP N D Gupta, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's personal secretary, former Delhi Jal Board (DJB) member Shalabh Kumar and others.
Pointing out at the raids by the Central agencies coinciding with the elections, Kharge asked how come the ED raids take place only during elections.
The Congress leader further clarified that he has nothing to do with the paper leak or the Kalam coaching, whose name has cropped up in the alleged scam.
The Congress leader said that it has become a habit of the BJP to use government agencies as a weapon and tool “to target, harass and intimidate Opposition leaders”.
"As soon as elections come, ED, CBI (Central Bureau of Investigation), IT (Income Tax ) etc. become the real 'panna pramukh' of BJP," Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge wrote on X.
The development comes close on the heels of the arrest of AAP leader Sanjay Singh in the Delhi excise policy case.
Taking a jibe at PM Modi at an election rally in the state MP for taking the name of the Congress 48 times, the Congress leader said it would have been better if he had taken the name of development as many times.
It is nothing but a desperate attempt by an already-losing party, says Delhi Chief Minister Kejriwal.
Earlier Today, officials of the ED reached Sanjay Singh’s residence to conduct raids in connection with a money laundering case related to the alleged Delhi liquor policy scam case.
