THE ENFORCEMENT Directorate (ED) Monday conducted raids at 13 “private premises of eight people” in Chhattisgarh, including the residences of at least two Congress MLAs, and others associated with the party, as part of its investigation in the coal levy case, officials said.
Reacting to the raids, which were still in progress late Monday, the Congress slammed the Centre for targeting its leaders at a time when the party is preparing to hold the AICC plenary session in Raipur. About 100 Congress workers also staged a protest outside the ED office in Raipur. Rai were among those raided by the ED in Raipur, Bhilai in Durg and Bilaigarh in Baloda Bazar.
