It looks like the BJP will fix Robert Vadra this time. The Haryana government is all set to tighten its noose on Sonia Gandhi’s daamaad Robert Vadra as the state’s chief minister is in the process of constituting a high-powered panel to probe the alleged illegal land deals in Haryana during the Congress regime led by Bhupinder Singh Hooda.
The Haryana government is in the final stage of setting up a panel, which, is expected to be headed by former Supreme Court judge Justice Swatanter Kumar.
“We are surely going ahead with forming a commission to look into all the land deals, if we spot any abberation, the panel will look into it. Right now the commission is in the formative stage,” BJP’s Haryana in-charge and national general secretary Anil Vij.
The then Haryana Director, General Consolidation, Ashok Khemka, who was the first one to point out and object to this deal, had also ordered the scrapping of Vadra land deal. Khemka, who has been proved right now by the CAG, had claimed at that time that the deal was illegal and stood no chance of being allowed. However, the previous Hooda government gave a clean chit to Vadra in the land deal.
Now the BJP is in no mood to ease the pressure on land grabbers even if it found that its own members or ministers figured among the wrong-doers or had collaborated with the Hooda regime.
On the other hand the Congress has said that the BJP is playing politics of revenge. NCP’s Majid Memon and DP Tripathi told ANI that the BJP government should not just target Vadra just because he is Sonia Gandhi’s son-in-law and that a fair investigation should take place.
In March, CAG had alleged that the Hooda government granted “undue favours” to builders, including Vadra’s firm, Skylight Hospitality. At the time, Congress had insisted that the CAG report has neither indicted the former Congress government of Haryana or Robert Vadra or his Skylight Hospitality Private Limited for any violation of the Haryana Development and Regulation of Urban Areas Act, 1975, or any rules or policy.”A probe will be initiated against ‘Rahul’s suited booted brother in law’,” added Vij.
