As ED searches houses of Congress MLAs in Chhattisgarh coal levy case, CM Baghel says ‘attempt to divert attention’ from Adani row
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Monday conducted searches at 10 to 12 locations in Chhattisgarh, including the residences of Congress MLAs and people connected to the party, as part of its investigation into the coal levy case. A senior ED official confirmed the development to The Indian Express.
The premises of Congressmen Devendra Yadav, an MLA from Bhilai, Ram Gopal Agrawal, Girish Dewangan, RP Singh, Vinod Tiwari and Sunny Agrawal in Raipur and Bhilai have been searched so far, sources said.
Hitting out at the Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP), Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel said the raids were “an attempt to divert attention”. “BJP is frustrated with the success of ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ and the truth of Adani being exposed,” Baghel said.
