Rajasthan CM Accuses BJP of Unleashing Terror in Country through ED Raids

Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Thursday slammed the BJP after ED summoned his son Vaibhav and raided the premises of the Congress' state president Govind Singh Dotasra, saying terror has been unleashed in the country.

He stated that Enforcement Directorate (ED) raids happen wherever elections are held. Be it Chhattisgarh, Karnataka or Himachal Pradesh, ED raids happened just prior to the elections, the chief minister said.

"Raids happened but the Congress won the elections. The situation is worrisome. They have unleashed terror in the country," Gehlot told reporters at a press conference. He further alleged the BJP was targeting him through ED raids as they could not topple his government.

The ED on Thursday raided the premises of Rajasthan Congress president Govind Singh Dotasra and Omprakash Hudla, the party's candidate from Mahua assembly seat, on grounds of money laundering probe into the alleged exam paper leak case in the poll-bound state.

The federal probe agency has also summoned CM Ashok Gehlot's son Vaibhav Gehlot for interrogation. After the raids, Congress workers sat on a dharna in Sikar and Jaipur and raised slogans against PM Narendra Modi.
