The Samajwadi Party is crying foul over the CBI raids in connection with a multi-Crore mining scam in Uttar Pradesh. Samajwadi Party members say BJP is targeting them and BSP, even when the Mahagathbandhan has not seen the light of the day. SP says the BJP is scared of the Gathbandhan and hence it is conducting raids. News has learned from the sources that the CBI will be questioning Akhilesh Yadav as well. Yadav held the portfolio of the mining minister from 2012- 13. CBI officials have already raided the residence of IAS officer B Chandrakala, a former DM of Bijnor, Bulandshahr and Meerut, for her role in the scam during the Akhilesh Yadav Govt. As per the CBI the raids are in connection with an illegal sand mining case referred by Allahabad High Court. The agency had earlier registered a preliminary inquiry in the matter.
