”He (Gupta) suggested at that time there would be a big expose if an investigation was conducted into the funding of National Herald,” Patra said.
And, as the investigation agencies are now trying to investigate the National Herald case, the Congress tried to be destructive, he claimed.
”Congress tried to put pressure on the investigation agencies and the party created mayhem,” the BJP spokesperson said.
