Udaipur : The Income Tax Department conducted raids at the office of Rajasthan Cabinet Minister Udai Lal Anjana in Udaipur on Saturday, according to a report in the Times of India. The raids were reportedly carried out as part of an investigation into alleged tax evasion and money laundering.
Anjana, who is the Minister for Labour and Employment, was not present at his office when the I-T department team arrived. The officials searched the office for several hours and seized documents and other evidence.
It is not yet clear what specific allegations are being investigated against Anjana. However, the raids have come as a blow to the Congress government in Rajasthan, which is already facing a number of challenges, including rising inflation and unemployment.
The raids have also sparked a political controversy, with the opposition BJP accusing the Congress of corruption and nepotism. The Congress, on the other hand, has defended Anjana and said that the raids are politically motivated.
The I-T department raids on Anjana’s office are a significant development. It remains to be seen what the outcome of the investigation will be, but the raids have certainly put the Rajasthan government on the defensive.
