Rajasthan chief minister launched sharp attack on central government condemning the raids being conducted on Congress state president Govind Singh Dotasara and MLA Om Prakash Hudla at the time of election. He also criticised Modi government for sending a summon to his son Vaibhav Gehlot in FEMA case which is being investigated for 5-10 years now.
“The central government is using ED as a locust army. This is not a simple thing. There is no case field against Dotasara and Vaibhav Gehlot. Even then ED is conducting raids,” he said.
He said that BJP doesn't want women, poor and farmers get benefit of Congress guarantees in the state.
“Yesterday, we launched two guarantees for women. Today ED conducted raids, sent summon to Vaibhav Gehlot. We will launch five more guarantees tomorrow,” Gehlot said.
He said that the action of ED is selective and politically motivated.
“Why ED is not acting on complaints against union Jal Shakti minister Gajendra Singh Shekhar. There have been complaints against him regarding investment in Ethiopia. SOG has been requesting ED to investigate that case. But ED is not listening,” Gehlot said.
