Even after the cancellation of the license, BJP leader Subramanian Swamy had said on Sunday that the action to ban RGF was taken on his complaint. He told that he had complained about it in 2020 after Amit Shah became the Home Minister. Swamy said that I had sent him a big document, which was sent earlier also when Rajnath Singh was the Home Minister. I have mentioned five ways in which fraud has been committed.

Talking about the modus operandi of fraud, Swamy said that the first method was to build the office of the Congress party on government land. The second building was constructed with public money, but the ownership remained with the Gandhi family. Third, they have violated FCRA rules by taking money from embassies.
