New Delhi, August 2
The Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Friday claimed that an Enforcement Directorate raid was being planned against him as his ‘chakravyuh’ speech in Parliament had not gone down well with the ruling dispensation in Delhi.
“Waiting with open arms @dir_ed…..Chai and biscuits on me”, Rahul wrote on X tagging the post to the official handle of the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
“Apparently, 2 in 1 didn’t like my chakravyuh speech. ED ‘insiders’ tell me a raid is being planned,” Rahul wrote in the post.
‘Chakravyuh’ metaphor originated in the epic Mahabharata where it referred to a military formation that did not allow an enemy to escape once he penetrated it. Rahul on Monday said that an atmosphere of fear prevailed in the country with a ‘group of six’ trapping the entire country in a ‘chakravyuh’, which he said would be broken by the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) bloc.
Participating in the debate in the Lok Sabha on Budget 2024-25, Rahul had said the INDIA bloc would ensure Bills on legal guarantee on the MSP and holding of a caste census are passed by the House.
