The move sparked sharp reactions from both the BJP and Congress, culminating in protests and fiery exchanges.

At a press conference in Ranchi, BJP Leader of Opposition and state president Babulal Marandi launched a blistering attack on the Congress and the Gandhi family.

Referring to the ED's charge sheet, Marandi accused the Congress of financial misconduct and using its political influence to undermine the investigation.

"The Congress has committed theft and is unapologetically defiant about it," he said.
