Odisha BJP President’s statements today due to tremendous pressure from an Odia Central Minister
Bhubaneswar, 14/12/2023: BJD Spokesperson Shri. Lenin Mohanty addressing the media today said, “It seems the Odisha State BJP President has more facts compared to Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri. Narendra Modi and other Central Ministers on the matter of Income Tax raid. Hon’ble Prime Minister on 8th and 12th December had tweeted twice. From his Tweet it was clear that seized cash belonged to a Congress Rajya Sabha MP and Congress was responsible for it. We request Manmohan Babu that if he as more facts than their central leadership, then let him place it before them.
In the past, from a raid on a businessman in Uttar Pradesh, 500 crores cash and hold were found. Similarly in Karnataka when BJP was in Government, at that time from a raid, cash and gold of about 300 crores were seized. Income Tax Department are repeatedly conducting raids in Maharashtra and seizing hundreds of crores of cash and gold. What is Manmohan Babu trying to say, that the recovered cash and gold found in BJP-ruled states are property of BJP leaders.
From the statement of Shri. Manmohan Samal today it seems, after tremendous pressure from an Odia Central Minister he is giving such a reaction, said Shri. Lenin Mohanty, concluding his press and media statement.
