Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday attacked Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel over the ‘Mahadev’ betting app scam.

“The Congress government in Chhattisgarh has not spared any chance to loot you. They have not even spared the name of ‘Mahadev’. Just two days ago, a major action was taken (by the Enforcement Directorate) in Raipur and a huge pile of cash was recovered. People are saying that this is the money belonging to ‘sattebaj’ (those involved in betting) and they have collected it by looting the poor and youth of Chhattisgarh. Congress leaders have been filling their houses with the same money,” PM Modi said while addressing. a public rally in Durg.

“The Congress government and the Chief Minister should tell the people of Chhattisgarh what link they have with the accused in this scam sitting in Dubai,” he further said.

Modi’s remarks came a day after the Enforcement Directorate (ED) said that a forensic analysis and a statement made by a ‘cash courier’ have led to “startling allegations” that Mahadev betting app promoters paid about Rs 508 crore to Chhattisgarh CM Baghel so far.

Further, the PM accused Congress of abusing him and the entire Other Backward Classes (OBC) community. “Congress abused the OBC Prime Minister. Why does Congress abuse the OBC community? Why do they call ‘Sahus’ (an influential OBC community in Chhattisgarh) thieves?” he said.
