Video: Akhilesh Yadav loses cool over question about his income
Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav lost his cool when he was asked about his income at the recent Swadesh Conclave 2024 event in New Delhi. "Go to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) office or Income Tax office and don't bullshit here," Yadav retorted when a woman in the audience asked him whether his income had changed over the years.
'Do not bullshit here,' says Yadav
"You want to know my income? Ki meri income pehle kya thi aur aaj kya hai (You wanted to know what was my income earlier and how much is it today?)" Yadav was seen responding in a viral video. "Main 20 saal se jyade CBI ki jaanch me raha hun (I have been under CBI inquiry for more than 20 years). So if you want to check my balance sheet go to CBI office..income tax office," Yadav lashed back.
