BJP president Amit Shah targeted Congress on Friday saying it has become a private firm of Gandhi-Nehru family. He also brought in businessman and Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law Robert Vadra into the picture, quoting newspaper reports that "a renowned company received a loan of thousands of crores and its commission reached Nehru family's son-in-law."

Shah was addressing rallies at Kuchaman city in Nagaur, Sujangarh and Sriganganagar. Earlier, Shah spoke to senior BJP leaders at a hotel in the city here.

"A company got a loan of thousands of crores and its commission reached the Nehru family's son-in-law within a few months, with which he bought 150 hectares of land in Bikaner at a throwaway price. I want to ask Rahul Gandhi if he can answer now," he said.

He also mocked at Congress president Rahul Gandhi and suggested he stop daydreaming. "Stop daydreaming, Rahul Baba. Take a look at the election history of the country since Narendra Modi became the Prime Minister. You will realise what is going to be the result of the Rajasthan polls," Shah said in Nagaur's Kuchaman city.

He also attacked Gandhi for raising the issue of bank loans and non-performing assets (NPA) in poll rallies, saying those were the results of the misdeeds of the previous Congress-led government.

"The loans given through corrupt practices during the Congress government have turned into NPA. These are not loans given by the Narendra Modi government. These are the results of the misdeeds of the Congress government," he said, addressing an election rally at Kuchaman city of Nagaur district.

The BJP president also said fugitive jeweller Nirav Modi and liquor baron Vijay Mallya were given loans during the days of the previous Congress-led UPA government.

"They did not flee abroad (during the Congress rule) as they had no fear of Congress. They believed that they had a partnership. Those who are being guarded, why will they flee?," he asked.

‘Dirty Tricks Department’ At Work: Cong

  • Congress has refuted a newspaper report and the allegations made by BJP president Amit Shah that Robert Vadra made crores as commission out of a dubious land deal.
  • Its spokesperson Surjewala said the BJP was using the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and the Income Tax Department as a “dirty tricks department’.
