Following the ED raids at the residence of Rajasthan Congress Chief, Govind Singh Dotasara, in connection with the Senior Teacher 2nd Grade Competitive Examination, 2022 Paper Leak case, Chhattisgarh Deputy CM TS Singh Deo said the probe agency "should not be misused". "ED should not be misused...Why did ED not pay attention to Operation Lotus?...ED should be impartial, which they are not and that is objectionable," Singh told ANI.

On Thursday, Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel said, "Not only iron is found in Chhattisgarh, in fact, the intentions of Chhattisgarhi people are also steely. Don`t try to scare..." The raids which came even as Rajasthan is gearing up for the assembly polls, took a political tone with several Congress leaders attacking the central government, claiming that the "atmosphere" in Rajasthan is in favour of the Congress party, hence the BJP made its "last move".
