New Delhi [India], May 21 (ANI): After media reports emerged about the Enforcement Directorate (ED) raids at several locations allegedly linked to Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara, Congress leader Randeep Surjewala on Wednesday termed the action a “frustrated reaction” by the BJP-led central government.
Surjewala linked the raids to the Karnataka government’s recent decision to grant ownership rights to one lakh SC-ST families.
In a social media post on X, Surjewala wrote, “The ED raids on the Educational Institutions of Karnataka’s Home Minister, Dr. G. Parameshwara, one of the tallest SC Leaders, is a frustrated reaction of BJP & Modi Govt to giving of ownership rights to 1 Lakh SC-ST families yesterday at Hospet.”

The Congress leader termed this development as a “constant assault” on the Constitution and leaders of SC-ST-OBC communities” across the country, adding that the “revenge seeking against G Parameshwara is part of “sinister design.”
The social media post reads, “The constant assault on Constitution and leaders of SC-ST-OBC communities across India has become a habitual pattern. The revenge seeking against @DrParameshwara is part of this sinister design. Dr. Parameshwara has run Siddhartha Institute of Technology, Tumkuru that was set up 46 tears ago in 1979 and Siddartha Medical College, Tumkuru was set up 28 years ago in 1988 in the rural hinterland of Tumkuru to light the lamp of education. It is indeed surprising that after 46 years of setting up of this institution, Modi Govt is searching for wrongdoing, while BJP’s corruption is being actively investigated by the Home Ministry and Dr. G. Parameshwara.”
Taking aim at the BJP, Surjewala said that the ED raids is “desperate attempt to coverup the corruption of previous BJP governments.”
“The ED raids appear to be a desperate attempt to coverup the corruption of previous BJP Governments and stifle the voice of those who champion the voice of the oppressed. The @INCKarnataka will carry forward with the 5 Congress Guarantees undeterred and will follow up more rigorously the 6th Congress Guarantee of giving ownership of 1 Lakh houses to our brother and sisters of the SC-ST communities. Truth shall win. Satyamev Jayate,” Surjewala posted on X.
Earlier today, denying the involvement of Home Minister G Parameshwara in any case, Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar said that the leader is a very “decent” and “simple” man.
Speaking to media persons, Shivakumar said, “I am sure that in no way my Home Minister is involved in any case. He is a very decent and simple man. No way G Parameshwara is involved in such a type of case.” (ANI)
