New Delhi: Sudhanshu Trivedi, spokesperson for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), alleged on Thursday that Congress office-bearer Tushar Goyal was the principal accused in the national capital’s greatest narcotics bust worth Rs 5,600 crore.
In a press conference, the BJP RS MP said, “The main accused in the Delhi drugs haul is Tushar Goyal, the chief of the RTI cell of the Indian Youth Congress (IYC).”
“This means that it is becoming clear that till now, only goods of hatred were visible in Rahul Gandhi’s shop of love, but now drugs are also being found. What is the connection of Congress with the drugs recovered and the accused?” he said and demanded that Rahul Gandhi should come clean on the alleged nexus between the party’s office-bearer and the drug syndicate.
“What relation does the Congress party have with Tushar Goyal? Was this money to be used in Haryana polls? Are some Congress leaders having any deal with the drug peddlers? Congress, especially the Hooda family, should reveal their connection with Tushar Goyal,” he demanded.
The BJP spokeswoman also revealed Tushar Goyal’s appointment letter, claiming that it included the names of Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi.

In addition, he presented photos of Tushar Goyal with Congress General Secretary K.C. Venugopal and Congress MP Deependra Hooda.
Trivedi added that the investigating agencies found Deependra Hooda’s number on Tushar Goyal’s phone.
Notably, he called attention to authorities’ increased vigilance in narcotics seizures under the BJP government.
“During the UPA regime, drugs worth Rs 768 crore were seized across the country, but under BJP dispensation, drugs worth more than Rs 22,000 crore have been impounded,” the BJP MP said.
On October 2, the Special Cell of the Delhi Police busted the largest-ever drug haul and seized cocaine valued at more than Rs 5,600 crore in the international market. Four key members of the cartel, including the group’s point person, were arrested.
