‘Vendetta Politics’: Rahul Gandhi Slams Centre Over Shivakumar’s Arrest

Mumbai: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi lambasted over BJP as he claimed party leader D K Shivakumar’s arrest was politically motivated and accused the BJP-led government of using central agencies to “target individuals”.

“The arrest of D K Shivakumar is another example of the vendetta politics unleashed by the government, using agencies like the ED/CBI & a pliant media to selectively target individuals,” Gandhi wrote in a Twitter post.

This comes after DK Shivakumar arrested by ED over a money laundering case. Congress has also said that the Centre was targeting opposition leaders to divert people’s attention from its failures.

The agency had interrogated the former Karnataka minister for four times in the case.

The 57-year-old leader had earlier asserted that he had not done anything wrong and would fully cooperate with the investigating agency.
