Rs 290 Crore And Counting: BJP's Nation-Wide Protests In One Of India's Biggest Cash Recoveries
BJP vs Congress over the massive cash seizure marathon. Press conferences by top BJP leaders upped the ante on the Congress over corruption. The seizure of nearly Rs 300 crore from premises allegedly linked to Congress' Jharkhand Rajya Sabha MP Dhiraj Prasad Sahu comes close on the heels of the Congress defeat in three heartland states. The cash haul is being reported as the highest ever in recent times. The unaccounted-for cash was recovered during searches by the Income Tax department against an Odisha-based distillery group and entities linked to it. BJP workers held mega protests across states over the seizures.
