West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday decried Enforcement Directorate (ED) searches on the properties of State’s Minister Jyotipriya Mullick and summons to Vaibhav Gehlot, son of Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, describing them as a “dirty political game” of the Bharatiya Janata Party ( BJP).
The ED conducted raids at eight properties of Mr. Mullick, the State’s Forest Minister. The searches were held in connection with alleged irregularities in ration distribution and the ongoing investigation into the school job scam.
In another development, the ED on Thursday issued summons to Vaibhav Gehlot in a foreign exchange violation case.
