Is there link between Akhilesh - Piyush Jain's premises, 177 crore recovered so far

Income Tax Raid: Before the elections, this raid has become a big topic of discussion in UP. The interest of knowing how much more wealth will come out of this house is from the common people of UP to the politicians.
Income Tax Raid: The attack on Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Akhilesh Yadav is going on in Uttar Pradesh just before the assembly elections. So far, 177 crore cash and a huge amount of gold and silver have been recovered from the premises of perfume trader Piyush Jain in Kanpur-Kannauj. The search is still on.
Now all eyes on Kannauj's house
Income Tax and GST Intelligence Department raids are going on in the house of perfume trader Piyush Jain in Kannauj. After the recovery of 177 crores from Kanpur, now everyone's eyes are on the house of Kannauj that how big a treasure of notes is going to come out from here. At present, there is no information about what has been recovered from the house in Kannauj.
Wherever the notes have been hidden, those places are being broken.
The biggest news is that even after getting 177 crore notes, this raid is going to go on for 2-3 days more. Still, except for one gate of the house, all the other doors are sealed. Sealing notice is affixed on every gate mentioning section 67 of the CGST Act 2017. According to the information, wherever the notes have been hidden, those places are being broken.
These raids have become a big topic of discussion in UP before the elections. The interest of knowing how much more wealth will come out of this house is from the common people of UP to the politicians. Income Tax Department officials have also brought Pratyush Jain and Molu Jain, both sons of Piyush Jain, inside the house and they are being interrogated. Different rooms of the house are being searched with them.
Yogi targeted Akhilesh
This has become a big election issue in the election environment of UP. It has become easy for BJP to target Akhilesh by associating Piyush Jain with Samajwadi Party. What is the truth, it is yet to be known, but the Samajwadi Party is also continuously rejecting its relationship with Piyush Jain. On Saturday, in Agra, CM Yogi linked this raid with the Samajwadi Party in gestures and targeted the SP in the election environment. Yogi Adityanath said, "Right now, about 200 crore rupees have been found in the raid, it is the food of the poor. These people were kept out of power by the public for 5 years, yet the Income Tax Department is getting ₹ 200- ₹ 200 crores in the homes of these people.
Akhilesh hit back at CM Yogi
Earlier, in his tweet, BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra had described the perfume trader as close to the Samajwadi Party.

Now the CM Yogi is also attacking Akhilesh Yadav's party, but Akhilesh Yadav's party is constantly denying his relationship with Piyush Jain. Once again Akhilesh Yadav has responded to the tweet. Akhilesh wrote, "The honourable ruling party of UP is saying that from where the money should come to those who are away from power. This clearly means that the BJP believes that when in power, it earns money from corruption, even from extortion, by fear of transfer-posting and bulldozers, even from theft of donations and bags. Shameful statement!"
