About This Trend

Bhupesh Baghel is the former Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh, India, and a senior leader of the Indian National Congress.

According to The Times of India, Baghel has been outspoken against the Enforcement Directorate's (ED) arrest of his son, Chaitanya, in a money laundering case, accusing the ED of targeting his family and suppressing voices against the Adani Group. The ED's action has been seen as a politically motivated move to silence Baghel, who has been vocal against the illegal tree felling by Adani in the state, as reported by The Economic Times. A news article highlighted Baghel's statement, calling the ED's action a 'calculated attempt to break me'.
