"This will continue till 2024 election": RJD MP Manoj Jha after ED raids AAP MP Sanjay Singh's residence

New Delhi: As the enforcement directorate teams raided AAP MP Sanjay Singh this morning, the opposition INDIA alliance has come out in support of the AAP MP. RJD MP Manoj Jha alleges that this kind of raids will happen till the general election in 2024.

"It is sad, but not surprising. Now this series will continue till the election. PM Modi and Amit Shah have made the formal announcement for the 2024 elections. Yesterday, a raid was on NewsClick and all the journalists, today on Sanjay Singh," Manoj Jha told ANI. 

He further added, "We know that you will do this, but we want to say one thing the pot is full and it's about to burst but they have damaged the character of these agencies (ED and CBI)."

AAP leader and Delhi MLA Saurabh Bhardwaj said the charges against Sanjay Singh were fictious.

"This is such a fictitious scam in which investigation is going on for the last 15 months... ED and CBI have conducted raids in at least 1000 places but not even Rs 1 has been recovered from anywhere...They will not get anything at the residence of Sanjay Singh as well...BJP is losing the elections, this is the truth..." Bhardwaj said.

The BJP has defended the agency saying that agencies were procedding in the case as per the law. 

"They have done the work of fooling people. The excise policy scam worth crores was done at the residence of Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal. All discussions were done at his residence only" said BJP leader Dushyant Gautam.

Meanwhile, on the ongoing ED raid, Sanjay Singh's father said that they will cooperate with the probe agency.

"The Department is doing its work, we will cooperate with them. I will wait for the time when he will get clearance," he said.

Earlier this May, Singh in a letter to Finance Secretary T V Somanathan said that the ED Director and Assistant Director deliberately linked his name to the alleged liquor scam without any basis, tarnishing his public image and defaming him.

Singh mentioned that his name was added on the basis of statements from Delhi-based businessman and former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia's close aide Dinesh Arora.

Singh also alleged that the officers misused their position tarnished his public image and demanded prosecution against them. He said he already sent a legal notice to the officers to issue an open and public apology.

According to ED sources, the name of the AAP leader appears four times in the ED charge sheet out of which one reference was wrong and typed inadvertently.

At one place Sanjay Singh's name was mentioned instead of Rahul Singh who was then excise commissioner.
