Taking a jibe at Samajwadi Party (SP) President and Former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav ahead of Assembly polls in the state, Union Minister for Information and Broadcasting Minister Anurag Thakur on December 28 said that only Yadav and some of his party leaders were pained by the arrest of Kanpur-based businessman Piyush Jain, who was held for tax evasion. Speaking to ANI, Thakur said, “If someone hoards black money, if someone stores gold, around Rs 200 crores in cash, what will you do? Instead of congratulating the agencies, SP leaders protest against it and say that after income tax raids, Enforcement Directorate and CBI will also be looped in. Why are only SP people pained about it? What connections does the SP have with this perfume maker? Nobody else was pained. Only Akhilesh Yadav and some of his party leaders felt the pain,” he added.
