Sudhanshu Trivedi, a BJP spokesperson, launched a scathing attack on the Congress, focusing on its handling of the Chhattisgarh corruption case linked to Bhupesh Baghel’s son, Chaitanya Baghel. Trivedi accused the Congress leadership of defending the accused, allegedly for political gain. He found the party’s aggressive defense of the case unprecedented, contrasting it with past instances. He directly questioned the Congress’s motives, asking what special interest the party’s top brass had in protecting those accused of corruption in Chhattisgarh. Furthermore, Trivedi raised suspicions about the scandal’s reach, considering it might involve figures beyond Bhupesh Baghel and his family. He also referenced corruption allegations in Congress-led governments in Karnataka and Telangana. The Enforcement Directorate’s recent arrest of Chaitanya Baghel and associated raids formed the backdrop of Trivedi’s remarks.
