The Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted raids at 25 locations in Rajasthan, including Jaipur and Dausa, as part of a money laundering investigation into the Centre's 'Jal Jeevan Mission'. The searches targeted engineers, contractors, and former state government officials. The ED's action was based on an FIR filed by Rajasthan Police following allegations of a ₹20,000 crore scam in the mission's implementation. The raids come ahead of the state's assembly elections, raising concerns about the timing and intent of the Central government's actions. Polling for all 200 seats in the Rajasthan Assembly is scheduled for November 25.
