CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has alleged political vendetta after a CBI raid was conducted at the residence of senior party leader Durgesh Pathak, just days after he was appointed as the in-charge for the Gujarat Assembly elections. According to AAP, the raid is an attempt to intimidate its leaders ahead of the crucial polls. Durgesh Pathak, a key strategist within AAP and a close aide of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, has played a vital role in expanding the party’s presence outside Delhi.
The timing of the raid has raised eyebrows and stirred controversy, with AAP calling it a clear misuse of central agencies to target opposition leaders. The CBI has not officially disclosed the reason for the raid, fueling further speculation. This development comes at a time when AAP is gearing up for a major electoral battle in Gujarat, aiming to challenge both the BJP and Congress.
The party has vowed not to back down despite such pressure tactics. This incident adds to the growing list of opposition leaders facing central investigations, reigniting concerns about the politicization of investigative agencies in India.
