"But that did not happen... they should thank the ED as because of the ED, they came on one platform. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has brought them on one platform, what the voters could not do," he said amid noisy scenes by the Opposition.
While several opposition parties have accused the BJP-led government of using central agencies against them, the government has asserted that the agencies were free to probe and take action in cases of corruption.
