This was not the “first time Mr Vadra has embarassed the party”
Robert Vadra
New Delhi: Some senior Congress leaders felt Robert Vadra had become a “major liability” for the Congress, rather than an “asset”.
One leader noted this was not the “first time Mr Vadra has embarassed the party”, referring to when he described ordinary Indians (aam aadmi) as “mango people”, and called India a “banana republic”. Mr Vadra’s land deals was one of the BJP’s major electoral planks in Haryana.
In the AICC corridors there’s also a feeling that Priyanka Gandhi’s major stumbling block for entering active politics was the contentious land deals of her husband, Mr Vadra. Some senior leaders felt that the moment Priyanka Gandhi entered active politics, the Modi government might just start attacking Vadra.
With Mr Vadra enjoying all the privileges of a VIP which range from SPG protection to security waiver at airport the argument being put forward by Congress spokespersons that “ he is a private individual falls flat,” the leadrs argued. The CAG has faulted Mr Vadra’s land deals in Haryana.
