Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh said that Dheeraj Sahu can explain the huge amounts of cash. "The Indian National Congress is in no way connected with the businesses of Dheeraj Sahu, MP. Only he can explain, and should explain, how huge amounts of cash have been reportedly unearthed by the income-tax authorities from his properties." Bharatiya Janata Party is leaving no stone unturned to attack the INDIA bloc, Congress over the incident.
