Reacting sharply to the Supreme Court order either quashing or simply disposing of complaints of money-laundering in the alleged ₹2,000 crore liquor scam in Chhattisgarh, the Congress has termed the entire exercise as “a script to help the Bharatiya Janata Party” in last year’s Assembly polls. It has also raised questions on the other alleged scams reported during its tenure [2018-23].
“See, the Supreme Court has trashed the ED [Directorate of Enforcement] investigation report into the alleged liquor scam of Chhattisgarh. The Supreme Court said that there has been no case of any kind of money-laundering in this. So after this decision of the Supreme Court, it has been proved that the Central government of Bharatiya Janata Party in Chhattisgarh and the ED had together written the script of this scam to tarnish the image of the then government,” State Congress spokesperson Sushil Anand Shukla said, on April 9
