An inquiry into the matter should be done by a retired judge of the Supreme Court, he demanded “’Lal diary’ was a conspiracy of the BJP. They thought it would become a big issue if the Prime Minister spoke about it. Similarly Mahadev app case…Smriti Irani held a press conference, ED issued a press note but no investigation was done. The Prime Minister was speaking about it. The whole conspiracy was to arrest the Chhattisgarh Chief Minister but they got exposed,” he said at a press conference in Jaipur.
