The I-T raids on perfume traders in Uttar Pradesh has sent political temperature soaring in the poll-bound state. UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday mounted a scathing attack on rival Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav over the seizure of unaccounted cash during raids on Kanpur-based businessman Piyush Jain. “We are recovering money from the people who were looting public and buried it in the walls. In the SP government, ‘chacha-bhatija’ used to do ‘vasooli’ and robbed the youth of jobs.”
Akhilesh Yadav has slammed the raids and accused the ruling BJP of vendetta politics.
