This statement of Rajnath Singh has come at a time when the Opposition parties are trying to surround the BJP with the issue of Rs.15 lakhs lying in this election. Significantly, during the 2014 general elections, the BJP had made a big issue for black money hidden in foreign countries.

Here, Rajnath Singh also reacted on the raids on the bases of the Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, Kamalnath. He told this action beyond politics. Along with that said, 'Enforcement Directorate (ED) and Income Tax Department are autonomous agencies. They got the relevant information on which they took action.
