Dheeraj Sahu's old tweet is being circulated
An old tweet of Sahu is circulating amid reports of the Income Tax Department recovering stacks of currency notes from the companies and properties of Congress Rajya Sabha member Dheeraj Sahu. This is from 12th August 2022. In this, Dheeraj Sahu posted that even after demonetization, one feels sad after seeing so much black money and corruption in the country. I don't understand why people accumulate so much black money.
If anyone can root out corruption in this country, it is the Congress Party. This post of Sahu has been shared by many people including BJP's national spokesperson Amit Malviya on X. People are taking a lot of dig at this tweet.
