AAP Alleges BJP Plot

The raid comes after Durgesh Pathak was appointed the co-incharge of Gujarat, along with Gopal Rai last month. Notably, the local polls will be due in Gujarat next year and the assembly elections will be held in 2027. The AAP alleged that it was due to this responsibility of Gujarat that Pathak was targeted by the BJP through the CBI.

"BJP's dirty game has begun again. The CBI has reached the house of Gujarat's co-incharge Durgesh Pathak. The Modi government has tried every trick to destroy the Aam Aadmi Party but they are still not at peace," said AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh.

"The BJP's condition in Gujarat is bad. As soon as Durgesh Pathak was made co-incharge of Gujarat, the CBI was sent to threaten him," he said.

AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sandeep Pathak said the raid showed that the BJP was threatened by the AAP in Gujarat. "The CBI's raid at Durgesh Pathak’s residence this morning — just days after he was named co-incharge for Gujarat elections 2027 — sends a loud message that the BJP views AAP as a growing threat in Gujarat and is rattled by its rising influence," he said.
