Congress MP and Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi has claimed that the Enforcement Directorate (ED) was planning a raid on him. He said some ED “insiders” had told him about a raid being planned, and that he was ‘waiting with open arms’. In a post on X on Friday, Rahul Gandhi said, “Apparently, 2 in 1 didn’t like my Chakravyuh speech. ED ‘insiders’ tell me a raid is being planned. Waiting with open arms, @dir_ed. Chai and biscuits on me.”

This comes after the former Congress president attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi while speaking on the Union Budget 2024 in the Lok Sabha on July 29. He stated that farmers, workers, and youngsters of the nation are terrified. He criticised the Prime Minister for prominently displaying the lotus symbol and claimed that a new ‘Chakravyuh’ had been created in the 21st century.
The LoP said that the budget has stabbed the middle class, which enthusiastically banged thalis when asked to do so by Prime Minister Modi.
“Thousands of years ago, in Kurukshetra, six people trapped Abhimanyu in a ‘Chakravyuh’ and killed him. I did a little research and found out that ‘Chakravyuh’ is also known as ‘Padmavuyh’, which means ‘Lotus formation’. Chakravyuh’ is in the shape of a Lotus. In the 21st century, a new ‘Chakravyuh’ has been formed—that too in the form of a Lotus. The Prime Minister wears its symbol on his chest. What was done with Abhimanyu, is being down with India – the youth, farmers, women, small and medium businesses. Abhimanyu was killed by six people”.
Rahul’s speech was flayed by BJP MP Anurag Thakur over Chakravyuh statement and said the country has seen many “Chakravyuhs of Congress Party”. Taking a jibe at Rahul, he further said that some people are ‘accidental Hindus’ and their knowledge of Mahabharata is accidental too.
He attacked Congress by counting 7 Chakravyuhs while saying that the first Chakravyuh was Congress itself, which divided the country.
Following this, Prime Minister Narendra Modi applauded Anurag Thakur for his speech in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday, where the latter responded to Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi’s earlier address and described it as “a perfect mix of facts and humour.”
“This speech by my young and energetic colleague, Shri @ianuragthakur is a must hear. A perfect mix of facts and humour, exposing the dirty politics of the INDI Alliance,” PM Modi posted on X.
