New Delhi, Oct 7 (ANI): The Congress Party on Sunday said that activist-turned politician Arvind Kejriwal is making corruption allegations against party chief Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law Robert Vadra to malign his family in order to gain cheap publicity for the launch of his political party.
Congress spokesperson Rashid Alvi described it as a cheap publicity bid by Kejriwal to launch his political party.
"He (Kejriwal) is doing this sort of works continuously for cheap publicity. Tell me who will decide as to what is right and wrong? Whatever he says is right? If a leading company of India like DLF has given a statement, then you are not ready to accept even that. You are not ready to go to the court of law," he said
"You say the court ruling would not be proper. You say there is no agency to investigate this matter properly. Do you think there is the law of the jungle in this country? It is unfortunate to say such things and put questions on the system. I condemn this," he added.
Kejriwal had earlier on Friday levelled serious allegations against Vadra, and said his wealth increased from Rs 50 lakh to over Rs 300 crore within three years.
Addressing a press conference along with former Law Minister Shanti Bhushan and Supreme Court lawyer and IAC activist Prashant Bhushan, Kejriwal said Vadra received kickbacks from DLF.
Kejriwal claimed that they have evidence to show that Vadra received kickbacks from DLF.
"Robert Vadra's income grew from Rs. 50 lakhs to Rs. 300 crore in three years, how did this happen? DLF gave Vadra Rs. 65 crore unsecured loan. DLF gave Robert Vadra unsecured loans, what benefit did Vadra give to DLF to secure these loans," he said.
Asserting that Sonia Gandhi's son in-law is involved in a property scam, Kejriwal demanded an answer from the UPA Government at the Centre on this issue.
"All the details are with the government, yet no action has been taken. The Congress must answer. Multiple properties owned in Haryana, Rajasthan and Dehradun. The government must explain why this information was not acted upon," he added.
However, the DLF has clarified that the business dealings with Robert Vadra were completely transparent.
In a statement, DLF rejected the allegations that it had given unsecured loans to Vadra as a 'quid pro quo' for favours and said it had transparent dealing with him as an individual entrepreneur.
The company had said it had given Rs 65 crore as "business advances" out of which Rs 15 crore was fully refunded and Rs 50 crore was used for purchase of land.(ANI)
