Modi is PM, not 'Shahenshah', says Sonia Gandhi; calls charges against Vadra a conspiracy

Congress President Sonia Gandhi on Tuesday dared the government to conduct an inquiry in connecting with the alleged benami property of her son-in-law Robert Vadra in London.

The Congress chief who is in her parliamentary constituency Raebareli, said, "Let them (government) conduct an inquiry, the truth will come out."

She further added that the government was levelling new allegations every day and it was a conspiracy for a "Congress mukt bharat."

Speaking about the celebrations on the two years of the Modi government, Gandhi said, "I have never seen something like this. Modiji  is a PM not a Shehenshah."

"Our nation is facing drought, poverty, farmers are in pain; at these times a 'show' is not appropriate," she added.

News reports today quoted from purported papers seized by the IT department during searches last month on the arms dealer's premises that allegedly led to a trail of emails between Vadra and his assistant on the one hand and the dealer's aide on the other regarding the purchae of a London house for approximately Rs 19 crore in 2009 which was subsequently said to have been sold.

Vadra's legal firm have denied that he owned the London property directly or indirectly. It also denied Vadra has any business ties with Bhandari or his aide.

On June 1, the Raebareli MP will meet people, district party leaders and workers at Bhuemau guest house and will inaugurate the Jan Suvidha Kendra at Vikas Bhawan. Later, she will attend a meeting of the District Vigilance and Monitoring Committee.
