Hours after former Delhi Minister Saurabh Bhardwaj’s premises were raided by Enforcement Directorate (ED), Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders on Tuesday welcomed the probe agency's raid over an alleged ‘medical scam’.
While the raids on AAP party leader Saurabh Bhardwaj raise questions about the previous Delhi government’s efficiency, Delhi Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa has alleged that the party is "looting" the state in Punjab.
While commenting on the alleged medical scam probe, Sirsa, said, "ED has conducted raids at the residence of AAP leader Saurabh Bharadwaj in connection with the hospital construction scam. Corruption of thousands of crores was done in the name of the construction of 13 hospitals."
