BJP tried to steal the people’s mandate in Jharkhand using central agencies instructed by the PM: Rahul Gandhi

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on February 3 accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of using central investigative agencies such as the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in an attempt to topple the Jharkhand government.

“Injustice has been done to the government of Jharkhand,” Mr. Gandhi said, speaking at Godda in Jharkhand during his ongoing Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra. “The people of this State elected a Congress-supported government but Narendra Modi ji used ED, CBI and Income Tax department, giving them instructions to act against all those who opposed them. The BJP tried to steal the government elected by the people of Jharkhand. However, the Congress party stood firm with the people’s mandate and saved the government of Jharkhand,” he said, while accompanied by Jharkhand Congress chief Rajesh Thakur in his open jeep.
