New Delhi: It's tense times ahead for Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mulayam Singh Yadav.
Mulayam, who has just weathered a storm with Congress pulling out of his coalition and the UPA Government bent on President's rule in the state, is now under the Supreme Court's scanner.
With hardly a fortnight left for the Uttar Pradesh elections to get under way, Mulayam faces a day of reckoning on Thursday when the Supreme Court will pronounce its judgement on a PIL seeking a CBI probe into his disproportionate assets.
The PIL alleges that Mulayam and his family members have amassed wealth disproportionate to their known sources of income.
The PIL was filed by social activist Vishwanath Chaturvedi, who has in his petition, attached sale deed copies of properties that Mulayam and his sons had purchased in the last 28 years during which he was in public life.
He has also named Akhilesh's wife Dimple and Yadav's other son Pratik as beneficiaries of the alleged disproportionate assets acquired by the family between 2001 to 2005.
Mulayam has had to prove his majority in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly twice in the last two months. His government was very nearly ousted from the state and he was saved in the nick of time when the Election Commission announced the election dates.
