CBI and ED should be shut down: Akhilesh Yadav
Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav has said that the Enforcement Directorate and the Central Bureau of Investigation are not required and should be shut down. He also alleged that the central agencies are being used only against political adversaries of the Bharatiya Janata Party.
“They are used agar sarkar banaani hai, ya giraani hai (to form governments, or break governments),” Akhilesh Yadav said.
The SP leader also asked why these probe agencies hadn't investigated “what went wrong during demonetisation”. “How did people convert their black money into white?”
When asked if an INDIA government would such a decision if it came to power, Akhilesh Yadav replied, “This is my proposal, and I will put this before the INDIA alliance.”
Earlier, Akhilesh Yadav claimed that the electoral bond issue has exposed the BJP's extortion tactics, alleging that the saffron party engages in extortion by misusing ED and CBI raids.
The Lok Sabha elections in Uttar Pradesh are being held in seven phases. Polling in the first four phases has already been completed. Polling for the remaining Lok Sabha seats will be held on May 20, May 25, and June 1. The counting of votes will be done on June 4.
