CBI raids AAP leader Durgesh Pathak's residence days after he was named Gujarat polls co-incharge
PTC News Desk: The Central Bureau of Investigation on Thursday carried out raids at the residence of AAP leader Durgesh Pathak in a case of FCRA (Foreign Contribution Regulation Act). Earlier on Wednesday, the central agency registered a case with the alleged violations of the FCRA.
Meanwhile in response to the raids, the party has alleged that the raids are being conducted as the BJP was "afraid" of AAP's rise in Gujarat, where it won five seats in the 2022 election.
Former Delhi Chief Minister and Leader of Opposition Atishi claimed that the CBI raid was a sign of "frustration" of the BJP.
"As soon as AAP started preparations for Gujarat elections, the CBI reached the house of Gujarat co-in-charge Durgesh Pathak to conduct raid. In Gujarat, only AAP can challenge the BJP and this raid shows their frustration! In all these years, the BJP has not understood that we are not going to be scared of their threats," she tweeted.
