<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nLUCKNOW\/NEW DELHI: Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav alleged on Tuesday that land-related accusations against Madhya Pradesh CM Mohan Yadav were part of a BJP plot to discredit and replace 3 of its CMs, including in Rajasthan and UP, even as Congress attacked the MP CM.The allegation followed a report by \u2018The Indian Express\u2019 that Mohan Yadav\u2019s family and real estate firms had acquired at least 137 plots spanning 168 acres in Ujjain for Rs 45 crore in 2years since Dec 2023. The plots were allegedly concentrated in areas that benefited from road projects and land-use changes announced by MP govt.\u201cIf those are the allegations against Mohan Yadav, UP CM has bought 300-600 acres of land,\u201d Akhilesh alleged in Lucknow. Congress also trained its guns on Mohan Yadav, alleging \u2018plunder\u2019.Under BJP\u2019s \u2018double-engine\u2019 government in Madhya Pradesh, \u2018engine of plunder\u2019 is running at full speed,\u201d Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said in a Hindi post on X, sharing the news report.MP chief minister Mohan Yadav himself was at helm of this alleged \u201clooting\u201d, Ramesh alleged. He also pointed to speculation that the Union agriculture minister, who moved from MP to Centre, had orchestrated \u201cplanting of stories\u201d against the chief minister \u2014 an apparent reference to Shivraj Singh Chouhan. \u201cThe infighting appears to be over seat of power and a share in spoils,\u201d Ramesh said.Akhilesh Yadav rejected allegations against Mohan Yadav, saying land purchases by his family were not new because he had been in real estate before becoming chief minister. \u201cWasn\u2019t BJP aware that he was into real estate business? You know why these allegations are being levelled at this stage? This is because BJP is looking for ways to replace 3 CMs,\u201d Akhilesh said.He alleged BJP was working to remove Mohan Yadav and the CMs of Rajasthan and UP. But a change of guard would not alter BJP\u2019s fortunes in UP, he said, predicting SP\u2019s \u201cbicycle\u201d would race past rivals in 2027 assembly polls.\u201cIn upcoming elections, Samajwadi Party\u2019s cycle will move at a speed that all other parties will clear its way on their own,\u201d he said, drawing cheers from party workers.Congress general secretary KC Venugopal questioned why central investigative agencies had not acted against Mohan Yadav. \u201cPM Modi, why have ED-CBI not knocked on doors of MP CM Mohan Yadav? Is a 253-acre mega land scam not grounds enough to chase him and punish him for his crimes?\u201d Venugopal asked.He alleged BJP used investigative agencies to hound opposition politicians, settle political scores and pressure rivals into joining its alliance, but had gone silent when its own functionaries were accused of looting public wealth.<\/div>\n
