In a significant development, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) spokesperson and MP Sudhanshu Trivedi has launched a scathing attack on the Congress party regarding the recent seizure of drugs valued at approximately ₹5,600 crore in Delhi. During a press conference, Trivedi highlighted the stark contrast in drug seizure statistics between the current BJP government and the previous United Progressive Alliance (UPA) administration, stating, "Yesterday in Delhi, drugs worth ₹5,600 crores were seized. This quantity is important as during the UPA government (2006-2013) only drugs worth ₹768 crores were seized across India. The BJP government from 2014-2022 has seized drugs worth ₹22,000 crore."

At the center of Trivedi's allegations is Tushar Goyal, identified as the mastermind behind this substantial drug syndicate. Goyal is reportedly the chief of the Indian Youth Congress RTI Cell, which has raised eyebrows within political circles. Trivedi questioned the Congress party about its connections to Goyal, asking, "What relations does the Congress party have with him? Was this money being used in elections by the Congress party?" He further probed whether any Congress leaders have arrangements with drug peddlers, placing particular emphasis on the Hooda family, demanding clarity on their relationship with Goyal.

Who is Tushar Goyal?

Tushar Goyal, also known as Dikki Goyal, is under scrutiny following the major drug bust conducted by the Delhi Police. According to police sources, he has been linked to international drug trafficking networks, with suspicions of connections in Dubai and other West Asian countries. Goyal graduated from a reputed university in 2003 and has familial ties to publishing, as his father runs two publication houses in central Delhi. Despite his association with the Indian Youth Congress, the extent of his political connections remains a matter of investigation.

The recent drug bust by the Delhi Police marks one of the largest in the city’s history, involving the seizure of over 560 kilograms of cocaine and 40 kilograms of hydroponic marijuana. The police have identified Goyal as a major distributor of narcotics in India, with a significant operation based out of a godown in Mahipalpur, where he and three associates were arrested on October 1. The estimated value of the drugs seized is around ₹5,600 crore, with cocaine fetching up to ₹10 crore per kilogram in the international market, while hydroponic marijuana is valued at approximately ₹50 lakh per kilogram.

The police uncovered 22 cartons of banned drugs during the raid, with the marijuana reportedly originating from Phuket, Thailand, brought into India via air routes. The cocaine is believed to have connections to both West Asian countries and various locations within India. This significant drug haul raises pressing questions about the scale of drug trafficking operations and the involvement of political entities.

As investigations continue, the political implications of the drug bust are reverberating through Delhi's political landscape, leading to increased scrutiny of the Congress party's past affiliations and current operations. The BJP's accusations against Congress highlight ongoing tensions in Indian politics, especially in the context of election financing and potential corruption.
