Former Rajasthan minister Mahendrajeet Singh Malviya has raised questions about the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) raids conducted at his home and business, asserting no incriminating evidence was found during the searches.

Malviya reported that ACB teams searched three places, including his residence and a petrol station, sparking allegations of procedural mishandlings.

The raids followed shortly after Malviya hinted at returning to Congress, prompting speculations of political vengeance. He cites issues under the BJP, like delayed welfare schemes and fertilizer shortages, which influenced his potential political shift.
