The Congress and the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) on Monday slammed Maharashtra unit head of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for threatening voters of Kolhapur over raids by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) based on their PayTM transactions.
“Patil is only proving the misuse of the ED by the BJP. Now they dare to threaten voters claiming they are receiving money via PayTM. This is nothing but the frustration of the party as it is losing its base and this byelection,” said State Congress president Nana Patole.
During the campaign for the Kolhapur north Assembly constituency byelection, Mr. Patil told reporters some people are transferring money via PayTM and whoever accepts it will be probed by the ED.
