Akhilesh Yadav alleges the govt was trying to give a new definition to democracy by using the Enforcement Directorate and the Income Tax department
LUCKNOW: The Samajwadi Party and the Bahujan Samaj Party slammed the BJP-led Centre on Monday for "misusing probe agencies" for its political interests, a charge rubbished by the saffron party.
SP chief Akhilesh Yadav alleged the government was trying to give a new definition to democracy by using the Enforcement Directorate and the Income Tax department.
"One should learn institutional control from the BJP. No government has done it earlier. ED, CBI, and fear -- this is a new democracy. The BJP is trying to give a new definition to democracy through the ED and the Income Tax (Department), and creating fear," he told reporters at the SP headquarters here.
These have become "new institutions" under the BJP, Yadav alleged.
Later, BSP supremo Mayawati tweeted that all state and central governments to date have "misused all investigating agencies in their political interests, which is not hidden from anyone". Rubbishing the opposition charge, Uttar Pradesh BJP chief Swatantradev Singh sought to know as to why Akhilesh Yadav was afraid.
