‘Invisible weapons attacking social harmony’: Akhilesh Yadav targets BJP, seeks probe into leaders' properties

Lucknow: Samajwadi Party (SP) president Akhilesh Yadav on Saturday said that there were some ‘invisible weapons’ that were ‘secretly’ carrying out dangerous attacks on the country from within, as he demanded a probe into properties of the BJP leaders and their associates, their foreign trips and funding.

In a post on X, Akhilesh said ‘’Licenses are made for real weapons but there are some invisible weapons also which are secretly carrying out dangerous attacks on country, society and harmony from within.’’

‘’The lawyers and the public are saying that investigation should be conducted into the homes, shops and commercial establishments of the BJP leaders,’’ he said.

The SP leader said that a secret and impartial probe should be conducted into the immovable properties of BJP leaders and their associates, donations, foreign trips and their alleged ‘clandestine’ activities, and the details should be made public.

‘’BJP leaders and their associates should also be asked to furnish accounts of funds collected on the pretext of disaster relief and events, and the same should be audited,’’ he added.

‘’The legal aspect of how unregistered people buy land under different names and undertake construction on them should also be explained if they are not benami properties,’’ the SP leader said.

‘’The people are also curious to know whether such constructions by the BJP and its associates are offices or adda,’’ he said.

‘’Who bears the expenses of these sangi-sathi (BJP and its affiliates)?....why do they visit foreign countries and whose puppets they have been since the colonial era,’’ Akhilesh asked.

The SP leader also raised the issue of power cuts across the state and said that the state machinery was responsible for this ‘massive problem’ and demanded that they be held accountable for the same.
