The Gujarat unit of the Indian National Congress has asked for a Special Investigation Team to look into alleged donations to the Rashtriya Udyogik Pratishthan (RUPP), claiming senior BJP figures were involved.
Gujarat's Congress chief formally petitioned the state government on Monday, seeking the formation of a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe financial contributions made to the Rashtriya Udyogik Pratishthan (RUPP). The request cites intelligence reports and party documents that allegedly link senior leaders of the Bharatiya Janata Party to the donations.
The Congress leader argued that the alleged contributions could influence policy decisions and undermine fair competition, urging the authorities to act swiftly to maintain transparency in political financing. No specific amounts or names of the BJP leaders were disclosed in the petition.
State officials have not yet responded to the demand, and the matter is expected to be discussed in an upcoming meeting of the Gujarat legislative assembly. The call for an SIT reflects growing political tension ahead of the next electoral cycle in the state.
