NEW DELHI: Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi on Friday alleged that the government is planning an Enforcement Directorate raid on him following his recent ‘Chakravyuh speech’ in the Parliament during the discussion on the Union Budget. The Congress MP said he will wait for the central probing agency with open arms after ED ‘insiders’ informed him that a raid was being planned.
Taking a jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Amit Shah, 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 added.
Gandhi, in his Parliament speech had accused the NDA government of spreading a ‘chakravyuh’ with everybody trapped in it, including BJP MPs, farmers and workers. The LoP had said that the budget has stabbed the middle class, which enthusiastically banged thalis when asked to do so by PM Modi. Gandhi also slammed the Centre over the internship announcement in the Budget in which the youths will get the opportunity to do internships in the top 500 companies of the country.
“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’. Chakravyuh’ is in the shape of a Lotus. In the 21st century, a new ‘Chakravyuh’ has been formed – that too in the form of a Lotus. The Prime Minister wears its symbol on his chest. What was done with Abhimanyu, is being down with India – the youth, farmers, women, small and medium businesses. Abhimanyu was killed by six people. Today, too there are six people in the centre of ‘Chakravyuh’. Six people control India today too -Narendra Modi, Amit Shah, Mohan Bhagwat, Ajit Doval, Ambani and Adani,” he added.
Gandhi on Monday also attacked finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman for not mentioning the paper-leak issue in the Budget speech, which he said is the ‘biggest issue affecting youth.’ “In the past 10 years, there have been 70 cases of paper leaks in the country,” Gandhi alleged.
Showing the poster of the traditional Halwa ceremony, held at the Ministry of Finance before the Budget session, LoP Rahul Gandhi said that 20 officers prepared the Budget of India.
The budget session of Parliament began on July 22 and, according to schedule, will end on August 12.
