Lucknow, Jul 18 (UNI) Bahujan Samaj Party president Mayawati on Thursday hit back on the Narendra Modi government over the attachment of Benami property of Rs 400 crore of her close relatives, by the IT department in Noida.
In a series of tweets, Ms Mayawati said 'BJP is conspiring against Opposition parties' leaders for political gains. In this context, my brothers and sisters are being harassed and implicated, which is condemable.
'BJP had done similar efforts in 2003, by misusing the CBI and Income Tax department, but we got justice from the Supreme Court, after a long struggle,' she recalled, stressing that BSP will neither be threatened, nor be afraid, with these attacks.
The reaction Mayawati cones after a report that IT department has seized land worth over Rs 400 crore of Anand Kumar and his wife in Noida as Benami asset. Anand Kumar, brother of Mayawati, is the Vice-President of BSP.
