Robert Vadra, alleging unfair targeting due to his Gandhi connections, prepares to enter politics amid ED scrutiny.

Robert Vadra Eyes Political Future Amid Allegations

Robert Vadra claims unfair targeting due to Gandhi ties, develops political aspirations amid ED investigations.

Robert Vadra, alleging unfair targeting due to his Gandhi connections, prepares to enter politics

Robert Vadra, under ED scrutiny, claims unfair targeting due to Gandhi ties, intentions for political entry.

Robert Vadra, businessman and brother-in-law of Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, on Wednesday claimed he is being targeted by probe agencies as he is part of the Gandhi family and that things would have been different had he been part of the BJP.
Vadra, whose wife Priyanka Gandhi made her electoral debut last year, said he is almost an activist now and will soon join politics as he has been working with people since 1999.
The businessman, who was questioned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for the second straight day on Wednesday in a 2008 Haryana land deal-linked money laundering case, said he is being asked the same questions.
He said all this is being done even after the Haryana government has given him a clean chit in the case.
The 56-year-old Vadra reached the ED office around 11 am accompanied by his wife and Congress MP from Wayanad Priyanka Gandhi. He was allowed to go home for lunch around 1:10 pm. The questioning is expected to continue after the lunch break.
"I am part of the Gandhi family, who always fights for the people. Obviously, the BJP has to go for (target) the Gandhi family and me. They have also charge-sheeted my family -- my mother-in-law Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi.
"The more you trouble us, the stronger we become... We will fight anything that comes our way," Vadra told PTI.
He said he and his family are one unit and such instances only strengthen his relationship with his wife.
It is very unfortunate that probe agencies are being "misused" by the government, he said.
"I feel that people don't believe in the agencies anymore because everyone in the country has realised that the ED and other agencies are being misused to put pressure on those who expose the government's wrongdoings. The government is trying to create a divide between Hindus and Muslims. All of this is done to distract from the real issues," he charged.
Vadra said he has become the voice of the people and will continue to fight.
"They can see I have become the voice of the people. I am almost like an activist now. This happened because I responded to the government and continue to fight back against the constant false accusations made against me. The people are with me, I serve them. People would like to see me in politics," he said.
Vadra said he has been campaigning and working for people since 1999.
"If I was to be in politics, I want to make a change. Yes, there will be a time when I will definitely be in politics. And I know that the truth will prevail," he asserted.
"Everybody who is hopeful of becoming a chief minister or wants to join politics is always troubled by agencies unless you join the BJP... No BJP leader or minister will be summoned by the agencies," he claimed.
Vadra said the BJP's Haryana government has given him a clean chit in the case as "no wrongdoing has happened".
"I don't understand what this is about and asking me the same kind of questions. I have answered all these questions in 2019. The case pertains to 2008 and why this delay of 17 years," he said.
The probe against Vadra is linked to a land deal in Haryana's Manesar-Shikohpur (now Sector 83) in Gurugram.
As part of the February 2008 land deal, Skylight Hospitality Pvt Ltd, where Vadra was a director earlier, purchased 3.5 acres of land in Shikohpur from Onkareshwar Properties for Rs 7.5 crore.
A Congress government led by chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda was in power in Haryana at that time.
In September 2012, Skylight Hospitality Pvt Ltd sold this 3.53 acres of land to realty major DLF for Rs 58 crore.
The land deal ran into controversy in October 2012 after IAS officer Ashok Khemka, then posted as the director general of land consolidation and land records-cum-inspector general of registration of Haryana, cancelled the mutation, categorising the transaction as violative of state consolidation Act and some related procedures.&nbsp;

The Congress has not yet announced its candidate for Amethi even though the nomination filing date is drawing closer.

The Congress has not yet announced its candidate for Amethi even though the nomination filing date is drawing closer.

Is Congress going to field Priyanka Gandhi's husband Robert Vadra from Amethi? Posters that have sprung up at the Congress office in Amethi's in Gauriganj seem to suggest that Vadra is all set to make his political debut in the 2024 general election.
The posters written in Hindu read 'Amethi Ki Janta kare pukar, Robert Vadra ab ki baar '.
The Congress has not yet announced its candidate for Amethi even though the nomination filing date is drawing closer.&nbsp;
Earlier Vadra expressed his electoral ambition, claiming that the people of Amethi want him to represent their constituency.&nbsp;

Robert Vadra hints at contesting 2024 Lok Sabha election, eyes Amethi  

Amethi was formerly represented by Rahul Gandhi before he was defeated by the current BJP MP Smriti Irani.

Robert Vadra, the husband of Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi, has expressed his interest in contesting the forthcoming general elections from the Gandhi family's former bastion, the Amethi constituency.
The Uttar Pradesh region was formerly represented by Rahul Gandhi before he was defeated by the current BJP MP Smriti Irani.
In an interview to ANI news agenncy, Vadra took potshots at Irani saying that "the person who was elected last time is only concerned with attacking the Gandhi family, and not with ensuring the development of the area and well-being of its people".
"For years, the Gandhi family worked hard in Rae Bareli, Amethi and Sultanpur...It seems that the Amethi people have realised their mistake by electing Smriti Irani and ousting Rahul Gandhi. They now want a Gandhi family member to represent them. And they expect me to represent them if I decide to take the political plunge. I remember, my first political campaign with Priyanka was in Amethi in 1999," Robert Vadra said.
The Congress party is yet to declare a candidate for Amethi. The fifth phase of voting in Amethi is scheduled for May 20.

Priyanka Gandhi named in ED charge sheet in money laundering case

The ED further said that the agent also sold land to NRI businessman CC Thampi, who has been accused of aiding fugitive arms dealer Sanjay Bhandari.

In a first, the Enforcement Directorate has named Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi in its charge sheet mentioning her role in purchasing an agricultural land measuring 40 kanal (five acres) in Haryana's Faridabad from a Delhi-based real estate agent HL Pahwa in 2006 and sold the same land to him in February, 2010.
According to the ED, the land was purchased in Amipur village in Faridabad from Pahwa-- the agent with whom Priyanka's husband Robert Vadra also purchased three pieces of land measuring 334 kanals (40.08 acres) in Amipur village from 2005-2006 and sold the same land to him in December, 2010.
The agent is the same person who also sold land to NRI businessman CC Thampi. The larger case involves fugitive arms dealer Sanjay Bhandari, who is under investigation by multiple agencies for money-laundering, violation of foreign exchange and black money laws, and the Official Secrets Act. He fled India for the UK in 2016. Thampi has been accused of facilitating Bhandari to hide proceeds of crime, along with Sumit Chadha, a British national.
ED has named Robert Vadra in its earlier charge sheet related to the case as an alleged close aide of Thampi.
In the fresh charge-sheet, it is mentioned that Pahwa was receiving cash out of the books for the purpose of acquisition of land. "It was also noticed that Robert Vadra did not pay the entire sale consideration to Pahwa."
