Baghel funded Congress Himachal poll campaign using money from Mahadev app scam: Jai Ram Thakur
Chhattisgarh chief minister Bhupesh Baghel «funded» the Congress party's campaign in the assembly polls in Himachal Pradesh «from money received through the Mahadev app scam», and added that further investigations would reveal the truth. Thakur, the leader of opposition in the state, targeted Baghel a day after the Congress leader lost the chief minister's post following the Congress's defeat to the BJP in the Chhattisgarh assembly polls.
«There are allegations that Bhupesh Baghel who was in-charge of Himachal Pradesh assembly elections held in November 2022 funded the Congress party from money received through Mahadev app scam and investigations would reveal the truth,» the former Himachal Pradesh chief minister told mediapersons here.
The Mahadev betting app is under the radar of the Enforcement Directorate for money laundering between India and Dubai through hawala transactions.
The ED on November 3 had claimed that forensic analysis and a statement made by a 'cash courier' had led to «allegations» that Mahadev betting app promoters had paid about Rs 508 crore to Baghel.
