Jaipur, April 15 || Rajasthan's former minister and Congress leader Pratap Singh Khachriyawas criticised the BJP-led Central government following Enforcement Directorate (ED) raids on properties linked to his family on Tuesday.
"ED functions under the Centre. I don't expect much from this double-engine government. Unnecessary searches are being conducted at my family members' residences," Khachariyawas stated.
"We will cooperate fully with the ED officers and allow the entire search to be carried out, "he said.
Accusing the BJP of political vendetta, he said, "The BJP government is so rattled by my criticism that they ordered these raids. I’ve been speaking out against them for the last one and a half years. They target anyone who raises a voice against them. I knew this day would come, and I’m fully prepared."
Issuing a warning to BJP leaders, he said, "I want to remind BJP members that no government lasts forever. Times change. Today, you've started this, but tomorrow, we will respond in kind. We are not afraid. My name is Pratap Singh Khachariyawas. I know how to treat everyone. When Rahul Gandhi comes into government, what will be your fate?" he said.
Meanwhile, PCC chief of Rajasthan Govind Singh Dotasra also criticised the raids.
