Rashidi Kouhi, a member of parliament, has supported a corrupt figure like Taj.
Mehdi Taj is publicly known as one of the managers who has imposed an unfavorable contract on the country.
I am not aware of his corruption as mentioned in some media, but when public opinion is negative towards someone, it seems that until these accusations are cleared, he himself should not step into the arena.
When his legal case is still open, it raises many discussions among people who do not know the difference between the federation and the government. They say the Islamic Republic government has supported a corrupt figure, and this does not have a good reception.
