Leader of Opposition and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi claimed on Friday that the Enforcement Directorate (ED) was planning a raid against him after his 'Chakravtyuh' speech in the Lok Sabha on July 29. Gandhi said he was 'waiting with open arms' after the ED 'insiders' told him a raid was planned.

Rahul Gandhi took to X and said, "Apparently, 2 in 1 didn't like my Chakravyuh speech. ED 'insiders' tell me a raid is being planned. Waiting with open arms, @dir_ed. Chai and biscuits on me."

This comes after the former Congress president attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi while speaking on the Union Budget 2024 in the Lok Sabha on July 29. He stated that farmers, workers, and youngsters of the nation are terrified.

He criticised the Prime Minister for prominently displaying the lotus symbol and claimed that a new 'Chakravyuh' had been created in the 21st century.

"Thousands of years ago, in Kurukshetra, six people trapped Abhimanyu in a 'Chakravyuh' and killed him. I did a little research and found out that 'Chakravyuh' is also known as 'Padmavuyh', which means 'Lotus formation'. Chakravyuh' is in the shape of a Lotus. In the 21st century, a new 'Chakravyuh' has been formed—that too in the form of a Lotus. The Prime Minister wears its symbol on his chest. What was done with Abhimanyu, is being down with India - the youth, farmers, women, small and medium businesses. Abhimanyu was killed by six people”. 

“Today, too, there are six people in the centre of 'Chakravyuh'. Six people control India today too—Narendra Modi, Amit Shah, Mohan Bhagwat, Ajit Doval, Ambani, and Adani," he further stated.

The Lok Sabha LoP said that the budget has stabbed the middle class, which enthusiastically banged thalis when asked to do so by Prime Minister Modi. He stated that the 'Chakravyuh' that the central government has built is harming crores of people. The budget session of Parliament began on July 22 and, according to schedule, will end on August 12.
