The Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) took a jibe at the Congress over their campaign to raise money for the next elections by using a scene from a 1980s film. The jab aims to draw a connection between their requirement for crowdsourcing and the hundreds of crores of cash seized from one of its lawmakers. Inquilaab, a 1984 film, included a scene where two characters argue over using black money to purchase votes, and passing it on as donation by the supporters. The BJP utilised the epic scene, which included superstar Amitabh Bachchan and well-known actor Kader Khan, to allude to the cash seizures from Congress MP Dhiraj Sahu. For the unversed, the Income Tax Department has seized more than Rs 200 crore of unaccounted cash from multiple locations of Rajya Sabha MP Dheeraj Sahu.
