It is alleged that since the BJP government came into power, the Enforcement Directorate (ED), the Central Investigation Agency (CBI), and the Income Tax Department (IT) are harassing opposition leaders. Opposition parties are claiming that the BJP government is misusing these central agencies to target their leaders. The ED and CBI have registered several cases against leaders from parties such as Aam Aadmi Party, Trinamool Congress, Rashtriya Janata Dal, Shiv Sena, Congress Party, Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS), and others.
Opposition leaders are criticizing the BJP for not investigating cases against leaders who have joined the party, while leaders who were accused of criminal activities before joining the BJP are given key positions. Examples such as Himanta Biswasharma, who was previously in the Congress and had cases registered against him, but after joining the BJP, the investigations were not pursued, have been pointed out.
In the backdrop of these allegations, a meme featuring former US President Donald Trump has gone viral on social media. The meme shows Trump wearing a BJP shawl and tilak on his forehead, entering Prime Minister Modi's office, and requesting to join the BJP. Netizens are using this meme to suggest that joining the BJP could result in cases against criminals being dropped.
