The Congress on Saturday jumped into the defence of its leader Sonia Gandhi’s son-in-law Robert Vadra whose associates were raided by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) saying that people in power, especially Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is scared “thinking that the exit polls are right” and worried about defeat in Assembly elections.
A battery of top Congress leaders, including Kapil Sibal, Ahmed Patel and Abhishek Manu Singhvi, attacked the Government for the searches by the ED against three persons linked to Robert Vadra on Friday.
“The people in power especially PM is thinking that the exit polls are right and are scared. People in Opposition are being targeted by sending IT, ED. I want to ask Modi rather blame him why such things are happening in his rule,” Sibal questioned at a Press conference in the evening after Singhvi had already lashed out at the Modi Government earlier in the day claiming that the raids were a reflection of “the highest degree of panic” of the ruling dispensation, “awaiting” poll defeats in the Assembly polls.
