The BJP launched a sharp attack on Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel on Saturday, accusing him of having received hawala money as a kickback from illegal betting operators in order to fund the Congress campaign for the State’s upcoming Assembly election.
Union Minister Smriti Irani made these allegations against Mr Baghel at a press conference at the BJP headquarters in New Delhi stating that “never before in our electoral history had people seen such evidence of such things”. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is probing allegations in connection with the Mahadev betting App scam.
