Jaipur: The BJP-led Centre is suppressing the voice of the opposition, misusing investigation agencies ED and the ED and the CBI, Rajasthan Congress president Govind Singh Dotasra accused.
Addressing a meeting held as part of a campaign to raise funds for the ongoing Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra on Wednesday, he alleged the BJP is scared of Rahul Gandhi and his yatra, PTI reported.
So the central government is trying to suppress the voice of the opposition by misusing the Central Bureau of Investigation, Income Tax Department and the Enforcement Directorate, he alleged.

Senior Congress leaders Vijay Inder Singla, Amrita Dhawan and Tikaram Julie, and party MLAs attended the meeting.
Singla said no one knows more than the leaders of Rajasthan how the BJP is misusing constitutional institutions because they have endured such actions.
