India TV News  

The Samajwadi Party leader Ram Gopal Yadav on Monday came out all guns blazing at the Bharatiya Janata Party and said the Central Bureau of Investigation is being misused by the Centre. The BJP on Sunday demanded that the CBI investigate former Uttar Pradesh chief minister Akhilesh Yadav for his alleged involvement in a mining scam, claiming that his government was "hand in glove" with the accused in the case. Rejecting the charge that the CBI's searches Saturday in connection with the alleged scam was politically motivated because of the alliance talks between the Samajwadi Party and the BSP, UP government minister Sidharth Nath Singh also told reporters that the BJP has no threat from them. Amid reports that the CBI may quiz him, the Samajwadi Party chief said he is ready to face the probe agency and targeted the BJP, saying it is leaving a "culture", which may be used against it in the future. "The BJP demand that the CBI should investigate Akhilesh Yadav," Singh said, adding that he should be called by the agency for probe.
