ED Has Become An Extended Part Of BJP: Sena MP Priyanka Chaturvedi

Mumbai: Shiv Sena MP Priyanka Chaturvedi on Monday said the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has become an extended part of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

“Nowadays the ED has become an extended department of the BJP. Wherever the Bharatiya Janata Party is in opposition in a state, action is taken against the ruling party. However, if the leaders of the Opposition come after bathing in the Ganges of the Bharatiya Janata Party, the action on them stops,” Priyanka Chaturvedi said to reporters on Monday.

Recalling the political developments in Maharashtra, he said, “Maharashtra is a classic example of this. Files of several MLAs who have come under the scanner of ED have been closed with immediate effect as they supported the Bharatiya Janata Party today. Creating an atmosphere of hampering the basic principles of democracy is the agenda of the ruling party at the Centre.”

Notably, in November last year, 12 Rajya Sabha MPs were suspended on grounds of indiscipline for the ongoing Winter session of the House. CPM’s Elamaram Kareem, Congress’ Phulo Devi Netam, Chhaya Verma, R Bora, Rajamani Patel, Syed Nasir Hussain, Akhilesh Prasad Singh, CPI’s Binoy Viswam, Dola Sen and Shanta Chhetri from TMC and Priyanka Chaturvedi and Anil Desai of Shiv Sena were suspended for remaining part of the session.
