Akhilesh Yadav targeted BJP
After receiving the notice from CBI, Akhilesh Yadav said that this is a political attack. He said that Samajwadi Party is the biggest target for BJP. I had received the notice in the year 2019 also, even then there were Lok Sabha elections. In such a situation, when Lok Sabha elections are coming again, notice is being sent to me again. Akhilesh Yadav said that I know that when elections come, notices come. Why so much restlessness? If BJP has done a lot of work in the last 10 years then what is there to fear.
