Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel has reacted to allegations made by one of the accused in the alleged Mahadev betting app scam against him.
Baghel said 'It is no mystery why and how this video has come and it is also not difficult to understand that such a statement was issued at the time of elections only to benefit the BJP.'
'Everyone also understands that this is being done by weaponizing ED. In fact, the BJP is now contesting elections with the help of ED and is using ED to defame me,' he added.
He also said that he had never met the accused Shubham Soni who in the video said that Baghel had encouraged him to set up his gambling business.
Soni said he had proof that he had paid Rs 508 crores to Baghel so far.
