Slamming the Bharatiya Janata Party, Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav again took a hit at the sharp rise in gold prices. The SP chief alleged that the surge was not due to public demand but because ruling party leaders were converting their ‘liquid black money into solid gold’.

While posting on social media platform X, Akhilesh Yadav said that gold prices are breaking all records and touching Rs 1.20 lakh per tola (10 grams) under BJP rule. He further highlighted that this is a clear reflection of corruption and hoarding.
