Samajwadi Party president and Leader of Opposition in the Uttar Pradesh assembly Akhilesh Yadav charged the BJP government with trying to influence the upcoming Lok Sabha Elections 2024 using ED and CBI illegally by making all kinds of conspiracies against the senior opposition leaders of the country.

The statement of Yadav came in context with the arrest of AAP leader and Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia in the liquor scam yesterday. He said here on Monday that BJP implicates Opposition leaders in fake cases to suppress issues like price rise and unemployment. BJP wants to end democracy.

The struggling leaders and workers are not afraid of these handcuffs of the BJP, he said.
