New Delhi. These days, Dheeraj Sahu’s name is much discussed in Indian politics. Dheeraj Sahu is a Congress Rajya Sabha MP and liquor businessman. But recently, when the Income Tax Department raided their locations including Jharkhand, a huge amount of cash was recovered, seeing which the Income Tax Department officials themselves were shocked. Not only this, even the machines to count the notes fell short. After this machines had to be ordered. According to media reports, till now the Income Tax Department has confirmed the recovery of up to Rs 200 crore, but it is believed that this figure may cross Rs 300 crore. The surprising thing here is that Dheeraj Sahu had said in the affidavit that he had only Rs 27 lakh in cash. In such a situation, the big question is, where did he get this huge stock of notes from?
At present, he is reluctant to give any kind of reaction on this, but before the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, the Congress Party is in no mood to do any kind of negligence, hence the National President of the party Mallikarjun Kharge has written to the Jharkhand Congress Committee regarding this. A report has been called for in this regard. On the other hand, there is news that Rahul and Sonia Gandhi have expressed their displeasure over this episode. However, till now no reaction has come out publicly from his side, but let us tell you that Union Home Minister Amit Shah has given a big statement on this. Come, let us tell you further what he has said?
Amit Shah’s big statement
At the same time, Amit Shah’s big statement has now come out on this entire episode, in which he said, ‘I am very surprised. After independence, such a huge amount of cash has been seized from the house of an MP. Crores of rupees have been recovered but the entire Indian alliance is silent on this corruption. I think Congress is silent because corruption is within them.” Nature, but JDU, RJD, DMK and SP are all sitting silent…Now I understand why a campaign was launched against PM Modi that agencies are being misused. This was launched because there was a fear in their minds that all their secrets would be revealed. Corruption will be exposed…”
