Questioning the BJP for favoring CBI special director Rakesh Asthana in his carrier, Yechury asked,” Who patronised this official in his career? Who handpicked him for CBI despite strong opposition by the Director? If this official is now caught “fabricating” documents & taking bribes, should his political patrons in BJP not be asked tough questions too? What is their role?”

The CPI(M) general secretary further alleged that number of ‘compromised officials with dubious records’ have been inducted in top agencies just to target the political opposition. ” CBI is particularly under the spotlight should not surprise us. After all, it was the agency investigating the BJP party president for a very serious charge. No prizes for guessing how and why his name was “cleared” under a dark cloud,” he added.
A number of compromised officials with dubious records have been inducted into top agencies in the past four years. That is not just due to poor ‘governance’. But it is due to malafide intention to target political opposition and save their own under investigation.

Sitaram Yechury also claimed that the role of top BJP leadership in damaging and destroying the country’s institutions is unparalleled in India’s history. He further added that this is needed to further RSS’s unconstitutional agenda. Their nefarious designs have to be, and will be defeated.
The Central Beaureu of Investigation (CBI) has filed a complaint against its special director Rakesh Asthana for allegedly taking bribes to provide relief to businessman being investigated by him in a case involving meat exporter Moin Qureshi.
