Leader of the Opposition (LoP) in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, claimed that the Enforcement Directorate (ED) was planning to raid him following his ‘Chakravyuh’ speech during the discussion on the Union budget. The Congress leader said he would be waiting for the central probe agency with “open arms” as ED “insiders” told him that a raid was being planned.
“Apparently, 2 in 1 didn’t like my Chakravyuh speech. ED ‘insiders’ tell me a raid is being planned,” Gandhi posted on X.
“Waiting with open arms @dir_ed…..Chai and biscuits on me.”
During the discussion on the Union budget 2024-25, Rahul Gandhi used the concept of ‘Chakravyuh’ from the epic Mahabharata to criticize the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
"In the 21st century, another 'chakravyuh' has been prepared. It is in the form of lotus and the prime minister wears the symbol on his chest. What was done with Abhinmanyu is being done with India, with its youth, women, farmers, and small and medium businesses," he said.
Gandhi claimed that there are six people, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah, at the center of this ‘Chakravyuh’. He took the name of four more people, but Speaker Om Birla disallowed it, citing that they were not members of the House and hence cannot be named.
Gandhi alleged that the political executive, central agencies, and the idea of monopoly capital allowing two people to own the country's entire wealth are at the heart of this ‘Chakravyuh’.
"You created a 'chakravyuh' of unemployment and paper leaks... You call yourself nationalists but when you have to help soldiers, you do not provide money for pensions. You trapped the youth in the 'chakravyuh' of Agniveer," he said.
Later, in a post on X, Gandhi said, “Today a 21st-century lotus-shaped Chakravyuh is trapping India and is controlled by six figures: Narendra Modi, Amit Shah, Adani, Ambani, Ajit Doval, and Mohan Bhagwat.”
