NEW DELHI – Congress MP and Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi has claimed that the Enforcement Directorate (ED) was planning a raid on him.
He said some ED insiders had told him about a raid being planned, and that he was ‘waiting with open arms’.
In a post on X on Friday, Rahul Gandhi said, “Apparently, 2 in 1 didn’t like my Chakravyuh speech. ED ‘insiders’ tell me a raid is being planned. Waiting with open arms, @dir_ed. Chai and biscuits on me.”
He was referring to his July 29 speech in the Lok Sabha during a discussion on the Union Budget.
The Congress leader had alleged that the “NDA government had stabbed the middle class in the front and the back with announcements in Budget 2024 amid an atmosphere of fear across the country.”
While referring to Mahabharata, he said, “Thousands of years ago, in Kurukshetra, six people trapped Abhimanyu in a ‘Chakravyuh’ and killed him. I did a little research and found out that ‘Chakravyuh’ is also known as ‘Padmavuyh’ — which means ‘Lotus formation’… In the 21st century, a new ‘Chakravyuh’ has been formed… What was done with Abhimanyu, is being down with India — the youth, farmers, women, small and medium businesses.” -IANS
