Chennai: Search continues at DMK MP S Jagatrakshakan's residence for the second consecutive day, IT raided 40 locations

Meanwhile, Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) spokesperson TKS Elangovan accused the BJP of indulging in vendetta politics.

He said, "It is very clear that this is a political vendetta. The people of Tamil Nadu know how many AIADMK people, supported by the BJP, are running colleges and institutions. There is no authority in those institutions. These people want to terrorize the opposition parties. They are all misusing their powers. They are not fit to rule the country. BJP is a barbaric class of people who do not respect the Constitution, who do not respect any law, Who can do anything for their own benefit."

The DMK spokesperson asked, "Why aren't raids conducted on people supporting the BJP?" Congress MP Manikam Tagore also targeted the BJP and described IT and ED as frontal organizations of the Bharatiya Janata Party. "IT and ED have become frontal organizations for the BJP. They are conducting IT raids on the premises of DMK MP Jagatrakshakan in Chennai. This is a calculated politics and this is their political revenge," he said.

"ED and IT reach the premises of those who are against BJP. Those who come with them, they get cleaned in washing machines," he said. On Income Tax Department searches at the premises of DMK MP S Jagatrakshakan, Congress MP Manickam Tagore said, "People will not accept this politics of PM Modi and Amit Shah."
