Tax raids at Samajwadi Party MLC Pushpraj Jain, others linked to perfume business
The Income Tax department today conducted raids at various properties in Kannauj belonging to Samajwadi Party MLC Pushapraj Jain ‘Pampi’. The raids come before today’s joint press conference of Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav and MLC Jain. Pampi Jain is also said to be in the perfumery business. According to reports, the raids are also being conducted at another businessman Babu Mian.
More details related to the raids are awaited from the tax department. Meanwhile, the Samajwadi Party attacked the BJP saying that the ruling party’s fear and anger is visible and people are ready to teach it a lesson in the upcoming polls.
“As soon as National President Mr. Akhilesh Yadav announced the press conference in Kannauj, the BJP government started carrying out raids at the place of SP MLC Pampi Jain. BJP’s fear and anger is clear. People are ready to teach a lesson to the BJP!,” said the SP.
The opposition party said that the raids at SP MLC show BJP’s nervousness. “When it has been proved that Piyush Jain is a BJP man and Pampi Jain belongs to SP and crores of rupees were found from BJP’s Piyush Jain while SP MLC Pampi Jain is clean, then BJP raided Pampi Jain’s place today and has shown its nervousness and anger. The public will respond and give a befitting reply to the BJP,” said the party in Hindi.
It also alleged that the BJP’s flower has sunk and the saffron party leaders are making every possible dirty effort to make the drowned flower blossom. The Samajwadi Party also said that whatever the BJP does or even it misuses government machinery, it won’t return to power in the state.
BJP National Spokesperson asked the Samajwadi Party, “What will they say now? He is also not our man.. or vendetta vendetta vendetta.”
It may be recalled that when the tax department had raided another Kanpur businessman Piyush Jain, the BJP and the SP had accused each other of having links with him.
