BJP indulging in witch-hunt, says Robert Vadra
Mr Vadra said that the ruling party rakes up his name every time it is cornered and this time it stands exposed on the Rafale issue.
New Delhi: Robert Vadra, the son-in-law of UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi, on Wednesday broke his silence on the charges of corruption leveled against him by the BJP and said the ruling party had been indulging in a “baseless political witch-hunt” against him for the last four years.
The BJP had on Monday alleged that the UPA government had scrapped the Rafale deal because the French firm declined to choose the firm of Mr Vadra’s arms-dealer friend Sanjay Bhandari as its offset partner.
In a Facebook post Mr Vadra said that the ruling party rakes up his name every time it is cornered and this time it stands exposed on the Rafale issue. He described the situation as a “wholesale farce”.
He further added “Having all the agencies under their beck and call. No one knows better than the present government and the BJP that they have indulged in a baseless political witch hunt against me for the last 4 years. Instead they should man up with their 56 inch chests and tell the nation the truth about the Rafale deal, rather than hiding behind a bunch of lies that the people are fed up of hearing them repeat.”
