Haryana chief minister, BS Hooda has claimed Robert Vadra, the son-in-law of Congress president Sonia Gandhi is a small farmer from the state. Here are some reactions in twitter to Mr Hooda’s comment
Following the uproar over IAS officer Ashok Khemka’s 100-page submission to Haryana government on the Robert Vadra-DLF deal, the state chief minister has given a clean chit to the son-in-law of Congress president Sonia Gandhi. In an interview to The Hindu, Bhupinder Singh Hooda, chief minister of Haryana has said, "He (Vadra) is a landowner. If he owns land designated as an agricultural zone, then he is a farmer. This uproar (over 3.53 acres) is only because he is the son-in-law of the Congress president. Thirty-five to 40 per cent of our licences are given to such small farmers who enter into collaboration agreements with developers. It is not illegal."
However, the social media is abuzz with this clean chit given by the Haryana chief minister to Mr Vadra over the land transactions.
