Why Sonia, Rahul silent on Vadra deals? BJP
New Delhi, Apr 28 (IBNS) The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Monday demanded Congress president Sonia Gandhi and her son and party vice president Rahul Gandhi to 'break silence' on Priyanka Gandhi's husband Robert Vadra's alleged illegal land deals.
"Why is Sonia and Rahul silent on the issue like they are in all their corruption cases? They must break their silence and comment on Vadra's deals," said BJP leader Nirmala Seetharaman.
Amid a raging war-of-words between the Congress led by the Gandhi family and the BJP over corruption, the BJP hit back at the ruling party and Priyanka Gandhi asking which big heart had helped her husband Robert Vadra acquire lands illegally.
"Which big heart helped Vadra?" asked BJP spokesperson Ravi Shankar Prasad in a press meet in New Delhi referring toVadra's controversial land deals and Priyanka Gandhi's mocking of Modi's speeches to say that one does not need a 56 inch chest to rule or lead India but a big heart.
He asked why Robert Vadra, who is embroiled in a land controversy in Haryana and Rajasthan, did not buy land in non-Congress states.
"The two governments of Haryana and Rajasthan bent rules and favoured Robert Vadra in acquiring land. If Robert Vadra was such a great businessman, why did he not expand outside Rajasthan and Haryana?
"Land Ceiling act in Rajasthan permits only 175 acres land holding. Vadra allegedly purchased 1634 hectares," said Prasad.
"The Robert Vadra scam is a textbook case of corruption. It is not against any family. It is how rules and laws were bent to favour one man," said Prasad.
