Punjab polls: Bhupesh Baghel was defending Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi, days after his relative was raided by the Enforcement Directorate.
Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel on Monday accused the BJP of using central agencies against its rivals in the states where elections are due and said allegations stand only if proven in the court.
The Congress leader said this at a press conference in Chandigarh while defending Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi, days after the Enforcement Directorate (ED) raided several locations in the state, recovering Rs 10 crore in cash, including Rs 8 crore from a chief minister's relative.
In the states where elections are to be held, the IT, ED and the CBI conduct raids on BJP's political opponents, Mr Baghel alleged.
He said allegations of money seizure have to be proved in court. The allegations will stand only when the charge is proved in the court, he said.
