The Enforcement Directorate, on Friday, November 3, claimed that Mahadev betting app promoters reportedly paid about Rs 508 crore to Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel. The ED also said that "these are subject matter of investigation". Responding to ED's claims, Bhupesh Baghel, while speaking to the media, said, "Can there be a bigger joke?" He also asked if ED┬аwill interrogate PM Narendra Modi if he catches hold of someone and asks him to take PM Modi's name. He also took to social media to defend himself. In his post on X, the Congress leader said that Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) wants to contest Chhattisgarh elections with the help of agencies like ED, IT, DRI and CBI. He also noted that ED first raided the houses of people close to him to defame them in the name of the alleged investigation of "Mahadev App". "Now on the basis of the statement of an unknown person, it has accused me of taking Rs 508 crore," he added. Bhupesh Baghel also said that the people of Chhattisgarh are with him to fight agencies like ED and IT.
