The Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM), the youth arm of the BJP, led a protest in Maharashtra's Latur city on Friday. The demonstration targeted the Congress party, accusing it of corruption in the National Herald case.
Recently, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) filed a chargesheet alleging that top Congress leaders, including Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi, laundered Rs 988 crore. This prompted the BJYM to protest outside Congress Bhavan in Gandhi Chowk.
With slogans and placards, protesters demanded stringent legal measures, claiming the alleged financial crime is part of a longstanding pattern of corruption by the Congress to mislead the nation for personal benefit.
