BJP accuses Congress of links to drug kingpin in Rs 5,620 crore bust
The arrest and subsequent political accusations have sparked a major controversy, with the BJP calling for transparency from Congress on its alleged ties with drug dealers. As investigations continue, the political fallout could influence upcoming state elections.
New Delhi: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has demanded clarification from the Congress after reports surfaced linking Tushar Goyal, the prime accused in a major Delhi drug bust, to the party. Goyal, reportedly head of the RTI cell in the Delhi Youth Congress, was arrested after authorities seized over 560 kg of cocaine and 40 kg of hydroponic marijuana, valued at ₹5,620 crore.
BJP spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi accused Congress of potentially using drug money in election campaigns. He highlighted Goyal's photos with senior Congress leaders, such as KC Venugopal and Deepender Hooda, and questioned the nature of these relationships. Trivedi urged Congress to clarify if the connection was purely political or involved financial dealings.
