On Thursday, Income Tax department conducted raids at the houses and companies of Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Ajit Pawar's three sisters.

As per Pawar, Jarandeshwar sugar factory directors have also been raided. Condemning the raids, Pawar called them politically motivated.

"Income Tax department conducted raids at houses and companies of my three sisters. I don't know the reason behind it but these are 'politically motivated' raids. They are doing a low-level of politics. I feel bad" he stated.

Meanwhile, Maharashtra Water Resources minister Jayant Patil has alleged that the Centre is trying to divert public attention from the Lakhimpur Kheri incident with such raids.

BJP is carrying out these Income Tax raids,” said Patil, who also added that it seems that a few of the sugar factories are not even linked to Ajit Pawar.
