The BJP on Thursday stepped up its attack on Rahul Gandhi over alleged corruption in land transactions involving his brother-in-law Robert Vadra, saying the Congress chief is standing firmly behind Vadra in these deals. Addressing a press conference at the BJP headquarters here, Union Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad showed purported sale deeds of land and alleged that the entire Gandhi family including Rahul Gandhi, Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and her husband had bought land from H L Pahwa.
"Rahul Gandhi is standing firmly behind Robert Vadra in all the land deals reeking of impropriety, abuse of power and corruption," he alleged. Prasad also alleged that Rahul Gandhi was opposing the Rafale deal at the behest of middleman of a rival aircraft manufacturer.
