The comments by Sanjay Patil Patil came at a time the opposition has accused the Centre of using investigating agencies to target their leaders and settle political scores.
A BJP Lok Sabha member in Maharashtra on Sunday drew much attention after he claimed that the Enforcement Directorate (ED) will not come after him as he is a BJP MP. "The ED won't come after me since I am a BJP MP," Sanjay Patil, BJP's Lok Sabha member from Sangli, said during a function in his Lok Sabha constituency.
The comments by Mr Patil came at a time the opposition has accused the Centre of using investigating agencies to target their leaders and settle political scores.
Mr Patil is not the first BJP member to make such a comment.
Earlier this month, his party colleague in Maharastra, Harshvardhan Patil - who joined the BJP from Congress - had claimed that he was getting sound sleep since there are "no inquiries" against him after he joined the party.
