The income tax department, in the highest-ever seizure yet, recovered over Rs 300 crore from a distillery company linked to Congress MP Dhiraj Prasad Sahu.
“In India, who needs ‘Money Heist‘ fiction, when you have the Congress Party, whose heists are legendary for 70 years and counting!,” PM Modi posted on X while referring to the popular drama series.
The post was shared along with a 1-minute video clip showing the almirahs with recovered cash and pictures of Rahul Gandhi with the Jharkhand MP.
Last week too, the Prime Minister had lashed out at the Congress saying it has exposed the hypocrisy of the opposition party over the issue of corruption.
“The countrymen must first see the bundles of these (currency) notes and then listen to the speeches of honesty being made by their leaders. (They) will have to return every penny that they have looted from the people, this is Modi’s guarantee,” the PM wrote in his post on X tagging a newspaper report which had photographs of almirahs stuffed with cash on the premises of Boudh Distillery Private Limited and Baldev Sahu & Group of companies spread over Odisha, Jharkhand and Bengal.
The BJP has been targeting the Congress and its allies, saying they have spread the’disease of corruption’.
“The Congress and its friends have spread a disease of corruption against which a movement has to be started not just by the government but the people of the country as well,” Union minister Kiren Rijiju said earlier today.
