Raipur, 21 November (HS). Bharatiya Janata Party State General Secretary Sanjay Srivastava, after the revelations of the Bitcoin scam, has attacked the state Congress leaders including former Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel and said that action has also been taken in Chhattisgarh in the Bitcoin case, which is linked to the Maharashtra elections. And now questions are being raised about Baghel’s role in this matter. Srivastava strongly demanded that Bhupesh Baghel and Congress leaders answer to the people of the state on their role in the Bitcoin scam case.
Sanjay Srivastava, while addressing the journalists at the BJP office located at Ekatm Complex on Thursday, said that a leader who has held important positions in the Congress for a long time has made an ‘X post’ asking that Gaurav Mehta, who was involved in the Bitcoin case, was arrested in Chhattisgarh. Action has been taken, what was his relation with former CM Bhupesh Baghel? In the Mahadev App case, it has become clear that the economic affairs of the Congress government are linked to international gangs, in such a situation this disclosure of Bitcoin scam is important. Congress, especially Bhupesh Baghel, should answer this. Srivastava said that the audio tape that has surfaced in this matter also contains the conversation of Maharashtra Congress state president Nana Patole. If the Maharashtra Congress President is involved in this and the perpetrator of the crime is in Chhattisgarh, then why not believe that Chhattisgarh Congress and Bhupesh Baghel, who is an expert in this type of work, are involved? Even before this, the facts of Congress’s Bhupesh government funding Congress in other election states with corruption money have come to light. Involvement of Bhupesh Baghel from Chhattisgarh has been found with every accused of corruption, be it Soumya Chaurasia, Sameer Vishnoi, Ejaz Dhebar’s brother Avnar Dhebar or anyone else.
Srivastava said that the state of Chhattisgarh is a witness to how the Bhupesh government of Congress has been involved in many serious economic criminal cases. BJP continuously raised those issues and the state is seeing that important officials and leaders associated with the Bhupesh government are not even getting bail from any court. The latest case is of former PSC Chairman Taman Sonwani. For 5 years continuously BJP kept raising voice against his scam. This was a unique government of its kind which kept plundering its own revenue. Srivastava said that today many close friends of Bhupesh Baghel are either in jail or on bail. Whenever the agencies took action against Saumya Chaurasia, Anil Tuteja, Sameer Bishnoi, who was the Deputy Secretary of the Chief Minister’s Secretariat, Bhupesh Baghel’s favorite mayor’s brother Ejaz Dhebar, Bhupesh Baghel stood as their protector and kept calling it a political matter. Srivastava said that it has been months, they have not got bail from the court, this is proof that all of them were involved in corruption and their patrons were the previous Congress government and their chief Bhupesh Baghel. We do not say that all Congressmen are corrupt, but why only the names of Congressmen are being mentioned in all the corruption cases, it is definitely regrettable.
During the press conference, BJP state media in-charge Amit Chimnani, state media co-in-charge Anurag Aggarwal, state spokesperson Umesh Ghormode and Amarjeet Chhabra were also present.
