Samajwadi Party (SP) president Akhilesh Yadav launched a scathing attack on the BJP on Tuesday, alleging that it has institutionalised corruption in the name of religion and donations, and accusing it of misleading devotees.
He also said a true patriot will expose this “criminology” of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and boycott it socially and politically.
In a post on X, Yadav attacked the BJP on the Ram temple donation-theft issue, saying people should understand the “criminology” of the saffron party rather than what he termed the “chronology of offerings, donations and contributions”.
The former Uttar Pradesh chief minister alleged that the BJP and its associates first establish covert links with devotees across the world, emotionally exploit their religious belief and collect large sums in cash as well as precious metals and gemstones.
He further alleged that the donors are discouraged from seeking receipts on the pretext of verifying the quality of the donated metals, while large groups of people are mobilised to temples where further collections are made in the name of offerings and donations.
The SP chief also accused the BJP of printing fake receipts during religious occasions, manipulating trust management by placing loyalists in key positions and expanding what he described as a “network of corruption”.
He alleged that there were irregularities in counting donations, theft of “religious wealth”, disappearance of CCTV footage and other evidence, and land transactions in which associates allegedly bought land cheaply before trusts repurchased it at inflated prices and distributed the profit among themselves.
According to Yadav, the proceeds were then allegedly used to establish unregistered offices and expand political networks.
The SP leader further alleged that the stolen wealth was converted into precious metals, transported to other states and used to build networks of “fake preachers and voters” to do “election scams”.
“When these secrets come out, those responsible put forward others to take the blame, avoid questions and quietly verify whether the looted money has been distributed properly,” he alleged.
Yadav also claimed that after being caught, attempts are made to return the money in four-five days and justify the episode by saying accounts should not be sought for money donated for religious purposes.
He alleged that investigations are often entrusted to people who themselves face allegations of financial irregularities, while only minor functionaries are punished and the “big fish” escape accountability.
Yadav further accused the BJP of diverting public attention through “false news and allegations” whenever legal action appears imminent and of issuing reluctant apologies only under pressure.
“True patriots will now explain this BJP ”criminology” in every village, panchayat, street, locality and town, expose the BJP network and boycott it socially and politically,” he said.
