Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Three raids, carried out in connection with financial irregularities in the state in the past 20 days, have kicked up a political storm. The raids have revealed direct or indirect links of BJP leaders with those people on whose residential premises the probe agencies conducted raids.

The opposition has been criticising the government saying that the probe agencies only target the opposition leaders. Nevertheless, after the raids, it is clear that the BJP leaders are also on the radar of the probe agencies in connection with tax evasion and corruption.

I-T Department has acted against former legislator of the BJP from Sagar, Harvansh Singh Rathore.

I-T sleuths found a huge amount of gold and cash in the residences of Rathore and other leaders.

I-T sleuths had also carried out raids on the residential and official premises of some builders.

After the raid, the links of a few BJP leaders with builders came to light. For this reason, the Congress is taking the government to task. It also came to light that a few BJP leaders bought land in the colony being set up by the builders.

After the raids by the Special Police Establishment of Lokayukta, ED sleuths also acted against former constable of the Transport Department Saurabh Sharma. Some BJP leaders are connected with Sharma. After the raids, ED entered the scene in connection with corruption in the Transport Department.
