Spokesperson: Shri Pawan Khera: He said that the biggest investigative agencies of the country attack only the opposition parties and the officers who are responsible for stopping corruption are themselves caught red-handed while taking bribes. This is what happened in my state yesterday. In Rajasthan, why were ED officer Naval Kishore and his associate Babu Lal taking Rs. 15 lakhs? There was some case of chit fund. To hush up the matter, they took a bribe of Rs. 15 lakhs, were caught red-handed and the Anti-Corruption Bureau arrested them.
We all political parties release a list of their star campaigners before the elections, our star campaigners and the government campaigners of BJP - ED, CBI, Income Tax, NCB, etc. - all these are given targets that elections have come, this is the list, you can intimidate and force any of them to join BJP, if not, then deal with them. This is a tool-kit, I will not call it Gujarat model, this tool-kit is Modi Ji’s own tool-kit.
Congress Party always wants investigating agencies to be powerful, they should be fearless, they should not work under anyone’s control, they should be autonomous, that is what it is called being ‘autonomous’. You strengthen these agencies, don’t force them. This is our only complaint with you. These are not your frontline warriors Modi ji
If more than 95 percent of ED cases are against opposition leaders, then everything is clear. Everyone knows. It is the same BJP that used to bring out the ‘white paper’. Where is the ‘White Paper’? Where is the ED?
But now if you have come to Rajasthan then you will get the answer, I got it yesterday. I heard that Bade Saheb had also organized a meeting here at night. You people know better, there was an emergency meeting on how to protect our frontline warriors from the real agencies. The Anti-Corruption Bureau was doing its work, it did its work absolutely fearlessly. They caught them red-handed while accepting Rs. 15 lakhs as bribe. This is a serious threat to the country that they are trampling and ruining the autonomous institutions. Friday, November 3, 2023
