Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi claimed that he will soon become the target of an Enforcement Directorate raid.

He cited his recent speech using the 'chakravyuh' military formation metaphor to hit out at the ruling government as the trigger for this planned raid.

The Congress leader, in a X post, claimed that he had been informed by some of the "insiders" in the ED about the planned raid.

"Apparently, 2 in 1 didn’t like my Chakravyuh speech. ED ‘insiders’ tell me a raid is being planned."

Welcoming such a raid, the Congress leader, tagging the official X account of the director of the Enforcement Directorate said tea and biscuits for those who are coming to raid are on him.

A few days ago, during a discussion in the Lok Sabha on the Union budget, the Congress leader cited the ‘Chkravyuh’ military formation in Mahabharata to say that a similar formation is being made by six people, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, and industrialists Mukesh Ambani and Gautam Adani to harm people.

'Chakravyuh' refers to a multi-layered military formation aimed at trapping a warrior by opponents placed strategically in an alignment resembling a lotus-shaped labyrinth.

"In the 21st century, another 'chakravyuh' has been formed. It is in the form of lotus and the prime minister wears the symbol on his chest. What was done with Abhinmanyu is being done with India, with its youth, women, farmers and small and medium businesses," the Congress leader had said.

The 'chakravyuh' is also called a 'padmavyuh' for its resemblance to a lotus (BJP's election symbol) formation, Gandhi had observed.
