New Delhi : Senior Congress leader Sheila Dikshit on Wednesday termed as ‘vindictive’ the Haryana government’s decision to probed the alleged irregularities, including the controversial multi-million-rupee land deals, of Congress president Sonia Gandhi’s son-in-law Robert Vadra.
“What can I say? It is vindictive….it would not take them anywhere,” she said, adding that the BJP, however, won’t order any probe against the party’s own corrupt leaders.
Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala, however, refused to acknowledge that the BJP’s Haryana government has decided to get the matter probed by a retired judge of the Supreme Court.
“I can’t react to it because there have been various BJP leaders saying this for quite some time now that they would get it probed but nothing happens… I would only react when Haryana Chief Minister (M.L.) Khattar or his government spokesperson confirms it,” he said.
Udit Raj, the BJP Lok Sabha member from North West Delhi, said that “law would take its own course” if anybody has done something wrong.
“Law would take its own course….it’s not about any particular person,” he said. The MP said the BJP had promised to the people of the country that if voted to power they would get Vadra’s deals probed. “There is nothing new to it. Our party had promised it even before the general elections last year,” Udit Raj said. Brinda Karat of the CPI-M refused to comment, saying she knows nothing about the probe having been ordered.
