Vadodara: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) today demanded a Supreme Court-monitored investigation into the alleged land deals of Robert Vadra, the son-in-law of Congress president Sonia Gandhi.

"The Supreme Court should investigate the land deals of Mr Vadra and monitor the probe," BJP spokesperson Nirmala Sitharaman told reporters on Friday.

She also criticised Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati for her allegation that the BJP had brought outsiders to take part in Mr Narendra Modi's roadshow in Varanasi on Thursday. "This shows Ms Mayawati's sense of understanding of the reality of the situation," she said.

The response to Mr Modi's rallies across the country had proved that he was a national-level leader, she said.

"We are aiming at 272-plus (seats in the Lok Sabha) with the alliance partners. But we are very, very confident that the BJP's strength is going to be reflected and the NDA will get a good mandate with which it can form the next government," she said.
