Lucknow: Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Wednesday launched a scathing attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), stating, “For the BJP, wealth is religion.” He accused the saffron party of being more concerned about money than religious values.
Missing CCTV Footage Raises Questions
Yadav claimed that the CCTV footage of the room where donations offered at the Ram Temple in Ayodhya were counted is missing. He argued that this lack of transparency adds to suspicions about how donations are being handled at the temple.
Allegations of Land Irregularities
The Samajwadi Party chief also alleged land-related irregularities in Ayodhya. He questioned whether the Special Investigation Team (SIT), which is probing the alleged donation scam, would investigate saints, sages, priests, and temple worship performers. “People are asking who will probe the SIT members,” he said.
Yadav further revealed that there is a pending probe against one of the SIT members itself. He alleged that complaints about land-grabbing incidents and irregularities in Ayodhya have consistently been brought to the government’s attention.
Appeal to the Public
Yadav claimed that locals and party workers shared information about instances where people lost possession of their land. He appealed to the public to provide details of alleged cases of land acquisition and demolition of houses so that the issues could be documented and raised before the government.
