Raipur (Chhattisgarh) [India], May 11 : Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel on Thursday claimed that as Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) cannot survive in Chhattisgarh and alleged the party is misusing the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to defame the ruling Congress party."Fake cases are being made, people are being threatened, and now they are trying to link my name to the scam. Their main agenda is to defame the ruling party because BJP cannot survive in Chhattisgarh. That's why BJP is misusing the ED", CM Baghel said.Earlier today, reacting to the ongoing ED actions, CM Baghel said, "ED did not carry out the investigation without any predicate offence, but for the first time in the history of India, the agency here is doing it.""They (ED) are working as agents of BJP to please their masters and therefore, they are not following the rules and procedures," alleged CM Baghel."Now, what is the predicate offence in the (alleged) liquor scam of Rs 2,000 crores and without knowing how they are investigating it," questioned Baghel.He further alleged that they are physically assaulting people and also troubling them the entire night.He said, "The agency's prime objective is to defame the state government because BJP is unable to fight us directly.
