Lucknow, Mar 21 (UNI) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister and Samajwadi Party supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav has claimed his net worth is about Rs 2.5 crore.

Mr Yadav made the disclosure in an affidavit filed along with his nomination papers from Bharthana in Etawah district yesterday.

As per the affidavit filed by the SP chief, he owned no vehicle, although his wife Sadhna owned a Toyota Corolla worth Rs 17.16 lakh.

The couple had cash worth Rs 50 lakh. Mr Yadav also claimed his plot in Delhi's New Friends Colony was estimated at Rs 56,000.

Mr Yadav's wife owned jewellery worth Rs 77 lakh and land and building worth Rs 60 lakh.

Earlier today, the Election Commission had rejected the objections raised by a Congress candidate over the nomination papers filed by Mr Yadav from the Bharthana assembly seat.

The EC through its central observers and Returning Officer (RO) informed Congress candidate Ajay Yadav that his objections had been rejected on relevant grounds.

The Congress candidate had raised objections, claiming the CM had ''misrepresented'' facts about his property in the nomination papers filed from Bharthana.

Mr Ajay Yadav had alleged in the 2004 Lok Sabha poll, the CM had estimated his total assets at Rs 1.21 crore in the affidavit filed before the EC. He had contested the election from the Mainpuri seat.

Talking to UNI over telephone, Ajay Yadav, son of former SP leader late Balram Singh Yadav, said the SP chief had estimated his assets at Rs 5 crore in the current affidavit. ''But, in his affidavit filed before the Supreme Court, his assets have been estimated at Rs 30 crore,'' he added.

Recently, the apex court had directed the CBI to carry out a preliminary inquiry into the assets of the CM and his kin following a PIL filed by a Congress worker.
