NDTV
The raids come in the middle of intense campaigning in Punjab, which will vote on February 20.
Following raids on the house of Punjab Chief Minister's relative, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi today hit out at the BJP saying it's the ruling party's "favourite weapon because they themselves have things to hide". The raids are in connection with an old case, and come just weeks before state assembly elections, leading to speculation on social media of a political motive behind it. Conducting an ED raid is BJP's favourite weapon because they themselves have things to hide.Not everyone is like you. We have #NoFear. #BJPFakeRaid
Many opposition parties have also in the past accused the Narendra Modi-led government of misusing central agencies for political vendetta.
Mr Gandhi ended his short tweet by challenging the union government. "Not everyone is like you. We have #NoFear," his tweet said, along with hashtag "#BJPFakeRaid".
