Chhattisgarh Leaders Raided, Congress Says "Third-Rate Politics" | Read

Bhupesh Baghel, the Chief Minister of Congress-ruled Chhattisgarh, has attacked the BJP as "frustrated" after a central agency raided the homes of his party colleagues - ahead of the Congress's plenary session - over alleged corruption in coal levy. The Congress called the ED raid "third-rate politics" and claimed its Bharat Jodo Yatra, a Kanyakumari-to-Kashmir march led by party MP Rahul Gandhi that ended recently, got excellent feedback from citizens. Mr Baghel's swipe at the Adani group, which the Congress claims enjoys a direct access to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, also alluded to the firm's recent troubles over allegations of fraud by a US-based short seller.
