The BJP on May 12 demanded Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel's resignation over an alleged ₹2,000-crore liquor scam in the State, claiming that corruption at such a big scale for more than four years was not possible without links to his government.
BJP spokesperson K. K. Sharma also took a swipe at Mr. Baghel for his claim that the Enforcement Directorate (ED), the Central agency probing the case, was trying to implicate him in the matter, asking if this was a "confession" from him about his role or merely an expression of his suspicion.
