The Income Tax department recently unearthed a massive Rs 350 crore in cash along with 3kg gold during raids on properties of Congress MP Dhiraj Sahu. Referring to the popular show 'Money Heist', PM Modi said Congress has been looting India for 70 years through such "legendary heists". The cash haul is the highest ever by a probe agency. This set off a political blame game between BJP, BJD and Congress in Odisha. BJP alleged BJD allowed Sahu's liquor business for 20 years. BJD hit back saying BJP in the Odisha state is trying to save Congress. Congress dismissed the charges as political vendetta. The high-profile raids have stirred up a political storm ahead of key state and national elections.
