Congress march reaction to probe into Vadra deals: BJP

The BJP said that the Congress march against “growing intolerance” in the country was a “farce of protest” which was a reaction to the ongoing probe into controversial land deals involving Congress chief Sonia Gandhi’s son-in-law Robert Vadra.

Attacking the Congress, BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra said: “This is not an ordinary march. This march is happening when you are going to get caught and investigation has come to your doorstep. Knowing very well that within a few days, your story will be over and people of this country will know that you stand for corruption and corruption alone, you have started this farce of a march.”

Referring to the recent Enforcement Directorate raid on the premises of a company that has links with a firm connected to Vadra, the BJP said that the march was a reflection of Congress’s “intolerance to the ongoing probe”.

Later in the evening, BJP spokesperson M J Akbar addressed another press conference in which he described the Congress march as a “desperate attempt by a fading dynasty” to retain relevance when it stared at a “disaster” in the Bihar polls.-With PTI inputs
