"Didn't Even Spare Mahadev": JP Nadda Jabs Congress Amid Betting App Row
NDTV
The Enforcement Directorate earlier claimed that a person was sent from the UAE to deliver a large amount of cash for the election expenses of the Congress in Chhattisgarh.
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President JP Nadda on Sunday said that the Congress government in Chhattisgarh did not even spare 'Mahadev'--an apparent reference to the Enforcement Directorate charge that chief minister Bhupesh Baghel had received Rs 508 crore from promoters of the online betting app Mahadev Book. Addressing a public rally in the poll-bound state on Sunday, Nadda alleged that chief ministers of Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh and Congress leader Kamal Nath collect money for the Congress family. यह धोखा, छलावा, गुमराह और बेशर्मी से लूट करने वाली सरकार है। सत्ता पाने के लिए सट्टा लगाने में लगी है कांग्रेस। pic.twitter.com/AHoaYwPgSG
"They (Congress government) have not even spared 'Mahadev'. 'Satta' (power) ke liye 'Satta' (betting). A person who came from Dubai was arrested here and he said that I have brought Rs 800 crore to give to CM Bhupesh Baghel. Do you want such a corrupt government here? Bhupesh Baghel, Ashok Gehlot and Kamal Nath are collectors of Congress family. They collect money for them..." Nadda said.
This came after the state Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel questioned the BJP for not banning the app till now.
