Chakravyuh speech on Budget 2024, waiting with open arms’ claims Rahul Gandhi
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi claimed on August 2 that the Enforcement Directorate is planning to raid him following his ‘Chakravyuh’ speech during the discussion on the Budget 2024. Gandhi, the Leader of Opposition (LoP) in Lok Sabha, said he would, however, wait for the central probe agency with ‘chai and biscuits.’
‘Apparently, 2 in 1 didn’t like my Chakravyuh speech. ED ‘insiders’ tell me a raid is being planned," Gandhi said in a post on X, perhaps, referring to Home Minister Amit Shah by ’2 in 1.'
Speaking in Lok Sabha on July 29, Rahul Gandhi alleged that the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led NDA government had stabbed the middle class in the front and the back with announcements in Budget 2024 amid an ‘atmosphere of fear’ across the country.
“Waiting with open arms @dir_ed …..Chai and biscuits on me,” Gandhi said in the post tagging Enforcement Directorate X handle. Gandhi invoked the Chakravyuh metaphor from the Mahabharata to target the ruling party. Chakravyuh (labyrinth of fear) was the battle formation that led to the death of Arjuna's son Abhimanyu. Gandhi said the country was trapped by the chakravyuh, symbolised by the lotus symbol worn by PM Modi on his chest. He realised that the chakravyuh had been used to capture Abhimanyu.
Amid uproar by Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) MPs over his remarks on six chakravyuh, Gandhi said the remarks had held the country captive.
"I expected the power of the chakravyuh to weaken in this budget. "But the sole objective of this budget is to strengthen the enabling environment for big business, monopolies and political monopolies that are destroying the fabric of our democracy. This chakravarti is attacking small businesses through revenue stripping, GST and tax terror," Gandhi said in the Rajya Sabha.
