Gohil accused that the raid at the state party office as politically motivated and a conspiracy by political rivals to put pressure on the party .
As per reports, the I-T team that arrived at the office at 4.30 pm spent a few hours at the state Congress office and talked to several leaders about the recovery of the cash.
