The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) today raided multiple locations concerned with former Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda. The raids have come to be seen as a political conspiracy by Narendra Modi by opponents.

Senior Congress leader Anand Sharma held a press meet to damn the Centre. He issued a warning to bureaucrats. "Officials must hear this. The governments do not have any permanency. There are few weeks left for the general elections to begin. It is certain this government is rattled. The Prime Minister is staring at an imminent defeat, that is why these actions. When the new government resumes office, all such actions which have been at the behest of the political masters of today to harass, intimidate, frame and defame, even the charges, they will be held to account & they will have to answer," he said.

West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee said, "So political vendetta continues. BJP and its ‘allies’ comprising multiple Govt agencies harassing all allies of Opposition from Kolkata to Delhi and beyond. From Akhilesh Yadav to Behen Mayawati Ji, nobody is spared. From north to south. From east to west. Political vendetta by BJP. Are they scared? Are they desperate?"

Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal echoed Banerjee's views when he said, "Modi ji is fighting political battles thro enforcement agencies. From Akhilesh and Mayawati in UP to Mamata in Bengal and AAP in Delhi Modi-Shah duo has spared no political opponent."
