While raising the issue of multiple pictures showing Harish Anjana (one of the smugglers arrested in the case) with state's deputy CM and finance minister Jagdish Devda, the state Congress chief alleged that the pictures prove that the drug smuggler is the deputy CM's close associate.

“If PM Narendra Modi or his party is really against drug menace, then the MP Deputy CM Jagdish Devda should be asked to resign,” Patwari demanded while interacting with mediapersons at the AICC headquarters in Delhi.
