Kanpur raids turn political, PM Modi, Amit Shah attack Samajwadi Party

A fierce war of words has erupted between the BJP and the Samajwadi Party (SP) over the large cash seizure from the premises of a Kanpur-based perfume trader. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah have trained guns at the Samajwadi Party.

BJP leaders have been attacking the Samajwadi Party over Piyush Jain's arrest, claiming that the perfume trader had links with Yadav's party. The Samajwadi Party, however, has denied any link with Piyush Jain and said that the BJP has got "its own businessman" raided "by mistake".
