BJP accused of employing Central agencies to silence democratic voices

Rakesh Sinha, a spokesperson for the Congress, claimed on Friday that the Bharatiya Janata Party is wary of the Congress and its supporters.

“I believe that Narendra Modi is the first PM of independent India who is afraid of Congress and its supporters and is trying to subdue its (Congress’) voice with the help of central agencies,” Congress spokesperson Rakesh Sinha said soon after the Income tax department started its raids at the residence of MLA Kumar Jaimangal Singh in Ranchi. “Yesterday only, the CM was summoned by the ED, and today Congress MLAs are being raided by IT, which proves that it is an attempt of the BJP to demolish a democratic government in Jharkhand, which will never be successful in the state,” he added.
“I want to add that the people of Jharkhand are with the Mahagathbandhan government, and you cannot establish your government in this state till 2029,” said Sinha.

In response to the accusations, BJP MLA CP Singh stated that the opposition is currently agitated because the nation is making progress under PM Modi’s leadership.

“People in the opposition are agitated because the country is on its way to becoming Vishwaguru and is continuously developing under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi,” BJP MLA CP Singh said, mentioning that they will remain unafraid of them.

The BJP MLA responded to claims that the Center was using central agencies by saying that if they were directed by someone, they would become puppets.

“The central agencies function on their own, no one controls them. If they start to work under someone’s direction, they will no longer remain as an agency and will become puppets. All the central agencies work unbiased and independently,” he said.

This occurred many hours after the IT began conducting searches at the home of Congress MLA Kumar Jaimangal Singh in Bermo.

While these raids were taking place, Jaimangal Singh warned the media that any leader who does not follow the BJP will face raids at their offices.

“Income tax raids are currently ongoing at my Bermo (Jharkhand) and Patna residences. Any leader who would not listen to the BJP will be raided,” Congress MLA Kumar Jaimangal Singh told media persons.
