India, July 15 -- 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.

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 him, the proceeds were allegedly used to establish unregistered expand political networks.
