Raids by ED in Chhattisgarh uncover a Rs 2,161 crore liquor scam involving ex-CM Bhupesh Baghel, amidst claims of political motives.

ED Raids Uncover Chhattisgarh Liquor Scam

The ED's investigation into a Rs 2,161 crore liquor scam in Chhattisgarh involves former CM Bhupesh Baghel, amid political controversy.

ED raids ex-CM Baghel's residence in Chhattisgarh liquor scam

ED raids multiple locations in Chhattisgarh for a Rs 2,161 crore liquor scam involving former CM Bhupesh Baghel.

On Monday, the Directorate of Enforcement (ED) conducted searches at 14 locations in Chhattisgarh&rsquo;s Durg district as part of investigations into an alleged liquor scam.
Notable sites included the residences of former Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel and his son, Chaitanya Baghel.
The ED's operation also extended to close associates of Chaitanya Baghel, with sources indicating that he allegedly received illicit funds linked to the scam. Searches were also conducted at the premises of Laxmi Narayan Bansal.
The liquor scam reportedly involves the diversion of Rs 2,161 crore through various fraudulent schemes between 2019 and 2023, during the tenure of Chhattisgarh&rsquo;s previous Congress government.
As the searches commenced, Bhupesh Baghel&rsquo;s official handle on the social media platform X released a statement suggesting that the raids were politically motivated. The statement alleged a conspiracy aimed at thwarting Baghel&rsquo;s political activities in Punjab, where he now serves as the Congress General Secretary.
The statement emphasized Baghel&rsquo;s ongoing commitment to Punjab, despite alleged efforts to impede the Congress party's operations there. Baghel has made multiple visits to Punjab, holding meetings with local leaders to bolster preparations for the upcoming state elections.
The ED initiated its investigation last year with the filing of an Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR) against the alleged mastermind, Anwar Dhebar, the brother of Raipur&rsquo;s mayor, Aijaz Dhebar. Other key figures included in the report are retired IAS officer Anil Tuteja and ITS officer Arun Pati Tripathi, both implicated in operations supplying unaccounted liquor to state-run outlets, resulting in significant financial losses to the government.
Earlier this year, former excise minister Kawasi Lakhma was arrested by the ED for his purported involvement in the scam. Allegations state that Lakhma received Rs 72 crore, part of which was used to fund a Congress office and a personal residence for his son.
The investigation underscores ongoing scrutiny and legal proceedings related to one of Chhattisgarh&rsquo;s major financial scandals, with potential political ramifications amid upcoming election preparations.

Bhupesh Baghel has promised financial aid of Rs 15,000 annually for women if Congress come back to power

Bhupesh Baghel has promised financial aid of Rs 15,000 annually for women if Congress come back to power

Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel on Sunday said if the Congress retains power in Chhattisgarh, women will be given an annual financial assistance of Rs 15,000 in the state.
The announcement, which comes ahead of the second phase of Chhattisgarh elections scheduled on November 17, is being seen as a counter to the opposition BJP&rsquo;s promise in its poll manifesto of giving Rs 12,000 per year to married women.
&ldquo;Today, on the auspicious occasion of Diwali, with the blessings of Maa Lakshmi ji and Chhattisgarh Mahtari, an important decision has been taken for women empowerment,&rdquo; Baghel told reporters in Raipur.
After the Congress government is formed again in Chhattisgarh, women in the state will be provided an annual assistance of Rs 15,000 directly into their bank accounts under the "Chhattisgarh Gruha Lakshmi Yojana'', he said.
Baghel also wished people of the state on Diwali.
The first phase of polling in 20 out of the total 90 assembly seats in the state was held on November 7. The remaining 70 seats will see voting on November&nbsp;

Bhupesh Baghel allegedly got ₹508 crore from Mahadev App promoters: ED

The Enforcement Directorate claimed its probe in the Mahadev betting app case has led it to Chhattisgarh CM Bhupesh Baghel.

The Enforcement Directorate claimed Friday it has recorded a statement of a 'cash courier' who alleged that the promoters of the Mahadev betting app have paid Rs 508 crore to Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel till now and that it is a "subject matter of investigation".
The courier, Asim Das, has been arrested by the agency after it recovered Rs 5.39 crore from him in the poll-bound state.
The Mahadev online betting app and its promoters are being investigated by the ED under the anti-money laundering law.
"From the questioning of Asim Das, and from the forensic examination of the phone recovered from him, and examination of an email sent by Shubam Soni (one of the high-ranking accused of Mahadev network) many startling allegations have come forth, namely, that regular payments have been made in the past and so far around Rs 508 crore have been paid by Mahadev APP promoters to Bhupesh Baghel, Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh," the ED said in a statement.

War of words between Narendra Modi and Bhupesh Baghel as Chhattisgarh poll battle heats up

The political bickering is on a high in Chhattisgarh just days before the first phase of voting in the state for assembly elections.&nbsp;
On November 2, Prime Minister Narendra Modi attended a rally in Kanker and took on the Bhupesh Baghel government on what he called a lack of development.&nbsp;
'Congress is opposed to development. Where there is Congress, there can't be development. (patch) We worked hard to build Chhattisgarh, we faced difficulties. Till the Congress was in power in Delhi, they kept fighting with the BJP govt in Chhattisgarh but we kept working,' Modi said.&nbsp;
The Chhattisgarh chief minister responded to Modi with a jibe on November 3.&nbsp;
He said that the prime minister can't see the development of common people and that he only sees the development of Adani.&nbsp;
Baghel went to speak about the steps taken by his government to promote public welfare and added that Modi can't see any of it.&nbsp;

BJP targets Bhupesh Baghel for playing Candy Crush, Chhattisgarh CM replies

As the picture of Chhattisgarh CM Bhupesh Baghel playing Candy Crush on his phone went viral, CM replied to the viral post and said that BJP has a problem with everything that he does

BJP IT cell head Amit Malviya on October 10 shared a picture of Chhattisgarh chief minister Bhupesh Baghel with a claim that the CM was playing Candy Crush during a Congress party meeting on elections. Soon after this, the picture went viral and Baghel replied to it by saying that he was playing the game before the meeting began.&nbsp;
<h3>Bhupesh Baghel's reply to BJP</h3>
Bhupesh Baghel gave a befitting reply to the BJP and said that earlier BJP had an objection with him for playing 'Gilli Danda' and for doing other things. And, now BJP has objection to him playing Candy Crush before the meeting too.&nbsp;
Baghel further said that he will play Gilli Danda, Candy Crush is also his favourite game and he has managed to pass some levels too and will continue doing things that he likes. He concluded by saying that the people of Chhattisgarh know whom to bless.
<h3>What did Amit Malviya say in his post?</h3>
Amit Malviya in his post said "Chhattisgarh CM is relaxed because he knows that no matter what he does, his government is not going to come. Perhaps, that is why instead of paying attention to the meeting related to the Congress candidate selection, he thought that it is appropriate to play Candy Crush."

On the first day of the session, the Congress steering committee unanimously decided not to hold elections to the CWC and authorised the party chief to nominate its members. The decision was taken at the Kharge-led steering committee meeting which members of the Gandhi family skipped.

Former Chattisgarh CM and BJP leader Raman Singh attacked the Congress government in the state for the recent killings of BJP workers allegedly by Naxalites. The statement came amid a spate of killings in which at least four BJP workers have been murdered.
Singh said, "I think this is due to BJP's campaign in the state because of which Congress is scared. I think there is a Congress' conspiracy behind these killings since only BJP workers are being targeted."

"On this matter, Vinoba Bhave said a very nice thing. A religious text was written in some other period. So, in today's time, in today's situation, it should be deliberated upon, and even the smallest thing should be absorbed after giving it proper thought," he added.

Answering the discussion on the bills, Baghel said the previous BJP governments could not form a Quantifiable Data Commission, which was constituted by his government in 2019 to survey people belonging to OBC and EWS categories in the state.

The commission recently submitted its recommendations to the state government, according to which the state's population includes 42.41per cent OBCs and 3.48 per cent EWSs.
Baghel further said he has requested MLAs of all parties to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi under the leadership of the Assembly speaker and request him to enlist these amendment bills under Ninth Schedule of the Constitution.

Chaurasia, considered a powerful bureaucrat of the state, was taken into custody under the criminal sections of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) post her questioning by the federal agency.

The ED on Friday arrested Saumya Chaurasia, a deputy secretary rank officer posted in Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel's office, in connection with a money laundering investigation into an alleged coal levy scam in the state, official sources said.
Chaurasia, considered a powerful bureaucrat of the state, was taken into custody under the criminal sections of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) post her questioning by the federal agency.
The officer was taken for a health checkup after the arrest even as the local media followed her along with the ED team, escorted by CRPF personnel, to the court.
The agency had in October arrested Sameer Vishnoi, an IAS officer of the state, and two others, after conducting several raids in the case.
The money laundering investigation, launched after the ED took cognisance of a Income Tax department complaint, pertains to "a massive scam in which illegal levy of Rs 25 per tonne is being extorted from every tonne of coal transported in Chhattisgarh by a cartel involving senior bureaucrats, businessmen, politicians and middlemen." Baghel, last week while speaking to reporters, stepped up his attack on the ED, accusing the probe agency of crossing its limits and treating people inhumanely in the state.

Lakhimpur protests:  Priyanka behind bars wants PM Modi to see 'trample video'

The detained Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi has questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the horrific Lakhimpur incident that led to the death of 8 people including 4 farmers.

The detained Congress leader Priyanka&nbsp;Gandhi has questioned Prime Minister&nbsp;Narendra&nbsp;Modi&nbsp;over the horrific Lakhimpur&nbsp;incident that led to the death of 8 people including 4 farmers.

The detained Congress leader Priyanka&nbsp;Gandhi has questioned Prime Minister&nbsp;Narendra&nbsp;Modi&nbsp;over the horrific Lakhimpur&nbsp;incident that led to the death of 8 people including 4 farmers. Gandhi tagged Prime Minister Narendra&nbsp;Modi&nbsp;on Twitter to show him a purported video of the brutal violence. Gandhi in her video asked&nbsp;if the PM had seen the video. The video which has now gone viral shows&nbsp;protesting&nbsp;farmers being run over by a&nbsp;SUV. Union Minister Ajay Mishra's&nbsp;son Ashish Mishra&nbsp;is the only person who has been named in the FIR, however, the minister has constantly denied the allegations levelled against him and his son. Varun&nbsp;Gandhi&nbsp;too condemned the incident and has appealed the UP government to make immediate arrests. He is the only BJP leader who has come out in support of the farmers.&nbsp; Meanwhile,&nbsp;Chattisgarh&nbsp;CM Bhupesh&nbsp;Baghel&nbsp;who arrived in Lucknow&nbsp;on Tuesday was not allowed to leave the airport premises. Baghel&nbsp;who&nbsp;came to show&nbsp;solidarity, questioned the rationale of the decision and later sat on a dharna&nbsp;at the airport.&nbsp;

Amid heightening leadership crisis in Chhattisgarh, CM Bhupesh Baghel arrived in Delhi on Friday after being summoned by the Congress high command.
Talking to reporters, Baghel said he will meet Congress MP Rahul Gandhi but refused to admit that the visit had anything to do with the power tussle between him and state Health Minister TS Singh Deo
Chattisgarh Health Minister TS Singh Deo too arrived in New Delhi. He has however said he was &lsquo;not given time&rsquo; when asked whether he will be meeting anyone.
Deo is reportedly upset with the Congress central leadership for not fulfilling its promise of rotating the chief minister&rsquo;s post after two-and-a-half years of the party coming to power in the state.
Rahul Gandhi held meetings with Baghel and minister Deo earlier this week in a bid to resolve the tussle between the two senior leaders.
Meanwhile, Baghel is yet to respond Deo's remark mentioning it is only natural for a person playing in a team to think of captaincy.
