"Itra Ka Inquilab": Samajwadi-BJP 'Perfume' Wars As Businessman Raided
NDTV
The BJP and Samajwadi Party have been targeting each other over the raids against Piyush Jain and Pushpraj Jain, two perfume businessmen.
The tax raid on Samajwadi Party leader and perfume maker Pushpraj Jain in Uttar Pradesh's Kannauj today has fuelled the war of words between the ruling BJP and Akhilesh Yadav's party, centred on "perfume" barbs.
The two parties have been targeting each other since the raids against Piyush Jain, another perfume businessman, in Kannauj and Kanpur that threw up eye-popping visuals of heaps of currency notes running into nearly 200 crore.
Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav had then alleged that the actual target was Pushpraj Jain, but the central agency made a mistake and raided the wrong perfume businessman.
The Income Tax department today raided 50 locations across Uttar Pradesh, Delhi and Mumbai that are linked to Pushpraj Jain, Samajwadi Party's member in the state legislative council and a businessman who owns a perfumery, petrol pumps and cold storage operations.
