BJP drags Priyanka into ‘graft in land deal’
The BJP on Wednesday dragged Congress General Secretary and Rahul Gandhi’s sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra into alleged corruption involving land deal in Haryana’s Faridabad.
Addressing media, Union Minister Smriti Irani said the news reports have brought to the fore a relation between H.L. Pahwa, alleged to be on the payroll of C.C. Thampi, who is connected to both alleged arms dealer Sanjay Bhandari and Priyanka’s husband Robert Vadra.
“Gandhi (Rahul) has procured land from H.L. Pahwa through a conduit-representative Mahesh Nagar. Nagar also represented Vadra in land purchasing case under investigation in Haryana and Rajasthan,” Irani said.
