Jind, Haryana: Targeting former Haryana chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda, BJP President Amit Shah on Sunday alleged that he had robbed the poor to serve "Delhi ke damaad", an apparent reference to Congress President Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law Robert Vadra.
He also lashed out at Mr Hooda for describing the investigation initiated by government agencies against him as "political vendetta", claiming the Congress leader was rattled as the BJP government had exposed how farmers were exploited under his rule and their money gifted to "Delhi durbar".
Addressing a rally in Haryana's Jind, Mr Shah said Haryana has seen "unprecedented" development under Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, who had provided a "transparent and corruption-free government".
The controversy around Mr Vadra, son-in-law of Congress chief Sonia Gandhi, is based on a 3.5-acre plot in Haryana's Gurgaon, on the outskirts of Delhi, that he bought in 2008 for Rs 7.5 crore and sold just three months later for Rs 58 crore to India's largest real estate developer, DLF.
Mr Shah said nobody could point fingers at the BJP Chief Minister and his ministers in the state on the issue of corruption.
"This is the same Haryana where people are behind bars for recruitment (scam)," he said.
