“With the increasing popularity of Aam Aadmi Party in Goa, ED, the loyal foot soldier of the BJP, has also been sent here! From early morning today, an emergency raid was carried out on the residence of AAP Goa in-charge Deepak Singla and the house of some volunteers in Goa. This is not only an attempt to intimidate our volunteers, but also an attempt for the BJP to capture all our organizational data!” Atishi wrote in the post.
In a separate video message shared on X, he claimed that ED raided the house of AAP leader Sanjeev Arora, who refused to join the BJP, while those who joined the party, including former AAP MP Ashok Mittal, escaped. “The whole country saw how the BJP used the ED against the TMC in the Bengal elections. The IPAC organization, which fought for the TMC, sent its workers to jail. All the data of the TMC’s organization was stolen through the ED before the elections. After the elections, everyone was released from jail. After the Bengal elections, the next attack was in Punjab, raids were made on the houses of ordinary party leaders. No action was taken against the escaped BJP leaders. However, the leaders who refused to join the BJP were sent to jail. Now the next target after Punjab It is Goa.”
