Arvind Kejriwal alleged that Robert Vadra received undue benefits from several quarters and in just three years wealth of the Gandhi family's son-in-law has grown 600 times
Anti-corruption activist Arvind Kejriwal has alleged that Robert Vadra, the son-in-law of Congress chief Sonia Gandhi has amassed huge wealth and in just three years his (Vadra's) wealth has grown to over Rs300 crore from Rs50 lakh.
In a release, Kejriwal and his India Against Corruption (IAC) said, "In the last four years, Robert Vadra has gone on a property buying binge and has purchased at least 31 properties, mostly in and around New Delhi, which even at the time of their purchase were worth several hundred crores."
"An analusis of the balance sheets and audit reprots of five companies set up by him (and owned exclusively by him and his mother) on or after 1/11/2007 show that the total share capital of these companies was just Rs50 lakh and thse companies together had no income from any legitimate business activity (except by way of interest derived fron interest free loans obtained from DLF). Yet during 2007-2010, they have acquired properties which were worth well over Rs300 crore at that time and are worth more than Rs500 crore as of today," Kejriwal said.
