Amid reports of income tax raids at the homes of Samajwadi Party (SP) leaders and supporters on Saturday, party president Akhilesh Yadav lashed out at the ruling BJP, alleging it was using central agencies to intimidate the Opposition.
“Why are raids happening right before UP polls? The more the BJP's fear of defeat increases, the round of raids on the opposition will also increase, but the SP's rath yatra and every other programme will continue unabated," said Akhilesh Yadav.
