On Saturday, Smriti Irani launched a scathing attack on Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel over the allegations of the Enforcement Directorate, probing the Mahadev online betting app and its sponsors, that the app promoters paid Rs 508 crore to Baghel.
Irani said, "The game of betting while being in power has become the face of Chhattisgarh Congress leadership. Yesterday, shocking facts regarding Bhupesh Baghel emerged before the country. More than Rs 5.30 Crores was seized from a man called Asim Das...Is it true that Congress leaders received money from Shubham Soni via Asim Das? Is it true that Asim Das was ordered by Shubham Soni to go to Raipur and give money to Baghel as election expenses?"
