Chhattisgarh CM’s Son Arrested in Liquor Scam on Birthday

In a dramatic turn of events, the son of Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel was arrested on his birthday in connection with an ongoing investigation into a liquor scam. This has ignited a heated political debate, with Baghel accusing the BJP-led central government of using investigative agencies to target political opponents.

Baghel Accuses BJP of Political Motivation

Bhupesh Baghel has strongly condemned the arrest, calling it a politically motivated attack orchestrated by the BJP. He alleges that the timing of the arrest, coinciding with his son’s birthday, is a deliberate attempt to humiliate and harass his family. He further claims that this is part of a larger pattern of the BJP misusing central agencies like the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to suppress dissent and target opposition leaders.

The Timing of the Arrest Raises Eyebrows

The arrest on his son’s birthday adds a personal dimension to the already charged political atmosphere. Critics question the timing and see it as a calculated move by the central government to exert pressure on the Chhattisgarh Chief Minister. The incident is likely to escalate political tensions between the ruling Congress party in Chhattisgarh and the BJP at the center. Further details surrounding the specifics of the liquor scam and the charges against Baghel’s son are yet to be fully disclosed.
