New Delhi: Against the backdrop of an inquiry against Robert Vadra, Congress targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi, alleging that since he has taken office his detractors have become victims of political vendetta. “Take the case of Shankersinh Vaghela or Virbhadra Singh. The Himachal Pradesh CM was raided when he was marrying off his daughter.
“You cannot say that vindictive attitude is not there since he has become the Prime Minister,” said party’s spokesman Ajay Maken. His response came when asked about the Prime Minister rejecting allegations of vendetta and insisted that there are no instructions from his government for conducting probe against any political party or dynasty.
Modi told a TV channel, “I have been the CM of a state (Gujarat) for 14 years. The history is witness to it that I have never opened any file because of political reasons."
“There has been no such allegation against me. It has been over two-and-a-half years here (at the Centre). There is no instruction from the government to open any file,” he said. He was responding to questions that the government was allegedly targeting political dynasties, an apparent reference to the Sonia Gandhi family.
