The Bhupesh Baghel government in Chhattisgarh is facing accusations of being involved in a massive liquor scam, amounting to Rs 2,000 crore. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has charged the government with creating a parallel system through which liquor was sold to people, with the taxes collected in cash instead of being deposited into government coffers.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), which has been dealing with a similar case in Delhi, has called for the questioning of Rahul Gandhi by the ED and for the arrest of the Chief Minister. AAP leader Saurabh Bharadwaj has alleged that a significant portion of the money involved in the scam has gone to the Congress high command.
Bharadwaj has claimed that the Congress government in Chhattisgarh created an entire parallel system for the sale of liquor, collecting taxes in cash instead of depositing them in government coffers. He has called for a thorough investigation into the matter, and accused the ED of going soft on the Congress party.
The ED charge against the Bhupesh Baghel government has sparked outrage in Chhattisgarh, with many demanding accountability and transparency in the government’s financial dealings. The Congress government has denied the allegations, dismissing them as politically motivated and baseless.
The AAP has called for action to be taken against those involved in the scam, with the money collected being returned to government coffers. The party has emphasized the need for transparency and accountability in financial dealings, particularly in the government.
This latest scandal comes amidst a wave of corruption allegations and scams against politicians across the country. The public is becoming increasingly frustrated with the lack of action taken against those involved in corruption, and demanding greater transparency and accountability from their elected representatives.
