Former minister Dr P Shankar Rao on Saturday alleged that Arvind Kejriwal and Shanti Bhusan were leveling baseless charges against Robert Vadra, son-in-law of Sonia Gandhi, at the instance of a communal party.
Talking to reporters in the assembly premises, Dr Shankar Rao said that the allegations were being leveled in view of Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh assembly elections. He said that the BJP had no specific agenda for the ensuing elections and therefore, it was using Kejriwal and Shanti Bhusan as its agents to drag Sonia Gandhi’s family members into controversies. He said such allegations were aimed at covering up the failures of BJP Government in Guajrat. However, he said that the people would understand the motives behind such allegations and teach a fitting lesson to the BJP and its supporters.
Dr Shankar Rao demanded that Kejriwal come out with substantial evidence to proof his allegations against Vadra. Else, he demanded that Kejriwal and Shanti Bhushan tender an unconditional apology to the Gandhi family.
The former minister also praised AICC General Secretary Rahul Gandhi’s visit to Jammu and Kashmir along with the top industrialists including Rata Tata. He said Rahul was working hard to bring back the golden days of Jammu and Kashmir. He said that the industrialisation of the State would create new jobs and opportunities for the Kashmiri youth.
