Akhilesh links rising gold, silver prices to BJP’s ‘new economic concept...

Key Highlights

• Solidification of corruption = Converting money earned through corrupt means, in the form of liquid cash, into precious metals.
• The solidification of corruption is a new economic concept under BJP rule, where a rise in price does not decrease demand, but rather increases it.
• This increased demand then leads to a further increase in price,” Yadav said.
• The SP chief alleged that the surge in the prices of precious metals had serious social consequences, leading to a rise in incidents of theft, burglary, robbery, and snatching in homes, neighbourhoods, shops and markets, and requiring additional security forces.
• “This puts further pressure on the already weak police system under BJP rule, resulting in extremely ineffective policing and making criminal elements even more active,” Yadav said.
