    Some are not ashamed to make such comment. When it comes to cleaning dirt, there should be no politics, either Yeddy, Reddy or DKS.
    This is in the interest of our future generation to come.

    There is no use in playing victim card now because ED, IT and CBI are behind Congress.

    Even Congress used the same tactics when it was in power in central.. Congress used to bring down state governments forget about the individuals.. Same method is being used by BJP now..

    After all as everyone know DKS is not a saint .. Bidadi and Ram Nagar people can tell how was DKS before entering Politics.. Its all part of the political game..

    It could be 100th raid in the past 5 years on the same leader and there been many opposition leaders who were targeted through IT, ED. They are just an headline and gets a lot of media coverage, where some channels very happily for a price maybe put it through out the day as a big and bold headlines with a hashtag.

    This is not to claim DKS is clean politician, he may be well be equally corrupt like Yeddy or Reddy, but unable to find anything against DKS by Modi led BJP in the past 5years, makes him a hero and Modi as Zero. All claims against DKS from BJP becomes ridiculous and a joke.

    Further, attaching assets has become a joke, as that way even Nirav Modi's assets were attached months back by IT,ED in India, for what he owned in UK, but he was happily living there in his posh UK house with a 20,000pound pay cheque.
