Kannauj: From the house of Uttar Pradesh's perfume trader and Samajwadi Party (SP) MLC Pushpraj Jain 'Pumpy' to the office, the Income Tax Department has raided. Pushpraj Jain's name had also come into the discussion after tightening the noose on Piyush Jain, meanwhile, today the Income Tax Department team has raided his residence and other places in Kannauj.

SP has reacted sharply to Pushraj Jain's IT raid, saying that the public is watching everything, it will answer by vote. The SP tweeted from its official Twitter handle and wrote that 'After the immense failure of the last time, this time the Income Tax Department, the ultimate ally of the BJP, finally raided the place of SP MLC Pushpraj Jain and other perfume traders of Kannauj.
