New Delhi: BJP had demanded investigation under Commissions of Inquiry Act for Robert Vadra’s land deal in Rajasthan during the government of Congress in state. Five senior MPs of BJP have written to Rajasthan CM Vasundhara Raje and demand for the investigation over the land deal of Robert Vadra in Rajasthan. The letter has been written b y Ravishankar Prasad, Arjun Meghwal, JP Nadda, Bhupinder Yadav and Rajendra Aggarwal.
The move is significant because it comes at a time when the Union government is said to be contemplating, as indicated by home minister Sushil Kumar Shinde, a judicial commission to probe ‘snoopgate’ which allegedly involves Gujarat CM Narendra Modi. BJP says such a move would be totally unnecessary as the state government has already appointed a panel headed by a retired high court judge to look into the charges of illegal surveillance.
MPs of BJP had urged in the letter that Rajasthan government to investigate all alleged irregularities in land deal by Vadra and companies owned by him near Bikaner.
If the BJP government in Rajasthan goes ahead with such a investigation, it is likely to raise the stakes for Congress in the 2014 assembly elections in Haryana too where its CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda is alleged to have gone out of his way to favour Congress president Sonia Gandhi’s son-in-law.
The letter said, “There is a land ceiling Act in Rajasthan and when an ordinary person violates it, he faces action from law authorities. Vadra and his companies have openly violated the Act and this was ignored by then Congress government despite repeated complaints. There is a need for a transparent probe into the matter.”
It also claimed, “Government officials misused their position at the behest of then Rajasthan government to facilitate the purchase of land by Vadra and his companies. The manner in which land was purchased and registered needs to be probed.”
