Commenting on the recent Income Tax raids on Congress MP Dhiraj Sahu's premises, in which crores of rupees were unearthed, Union Minister of State Ramdas Athawale said that Congress MP Rahul Gandhi should speak on the matter. "Rahul Gandhi should say something about the recent IT raid and seizure of 351 crore from a Congress MP's residence," Ramdas Athawale said while speaking to ANI on Tuesday.

On the Modi government's resolve to put an end to corruption in the country, Athawale said, "If corruption increases like this, it will harm the country and it will not progress. This is why Prime Minister Narendra Modi has taken the resolve to make India free of corruption. The government is punishing those who engaged in corruption."
