CM Baghel said
that no action was taken and the app was allowed to function as the BJP leaders
had already received kickbacks from the promoters of the app.
On the question of Mahadev app main accused's
photo with BJP leader Kamal Singh, CM Baghel said, "They do this all
wrongdoings and blame others. They have a relationship with them, they are
their (accused) friends. A BJP councillor is his close friend. I have said
earlier as well that if the Mahadev app is being operated from abroad, why was
it not closed? Second, when a lookout circular was issued, why was he not
arrested? This means that your deal (len-den) with them is complete," said
Baghel.
The chief minister further said that it's the
Chhattisgarh government that took the most stringent action against those
involved in the scam. "Our government has made 450 arrests, seized their
property, laptops, and mobiles besides registering several dozens of FIRs. No
action bigger than this was taken anywhere in the country. Now, the pot is
calling the kettle black. Had we been involved, why would we take action? They
(BJP) are involved in this," said Baghel.
Baghel further questioned how so much money was
brought from abroad and what was the customs doing.
Earlier,
addressing a rally in Chhattisgarh, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had indirectly
accused CM Baghel of receiving money from the accused. PM Modi's allegations
came after the Enforcement Directorate, which is probing the case, said that
according to fresh evidence following a search operation on November 2, it has
come to light that regular payments have been made in the past and so far
around Rs 508 crore has been paid by Mahadev App Promoters to Chhattisgarh
Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel.
