Congress spokesperson Jairam Ramesh described the ED's actions as politically motivated, saying the BJP is aiming to establish a 'one nation, one election, one party' regime. Ramesh said Siddaramaiah welcomes the probe, but the Congress sees it as a clear political vendetta. The news was reported by The Asian Age.
