"Why is Rahul Gandhi rattled," BJP's CR Kesavan hits out at Congress criticism of Vadra chargesheet - World News Network

Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], July 19 (ANI): Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national spokesperson CR Kesavan on Saturday hit out at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for backing brother-in-law Robert Vadra amid the Enforcement Directorate’s probe.
“Does Rahul Gandhi expect the government to give no legal answerability and accountability entitlement to Robert Vadra?… The law of the land is taking its course… Why is Rahul Gandhi rattled? Why is he panicking if Robert Vadra has nothing to hide?. They should use this as an opportunity to prove their integrity. Rahul Gandhi seems to be so worried that it is raising very strong suspicions…” Paswan told ANI.
He further stated that Rahul Gandhi should realise that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi everybody was equal before the law and there existed no tolerance against corruption.
“Rahul Gandhi should realise and come to terms that this is PM Modi’s new India where everybody is equal before the law and there is zero tolerance against corruption… ” he further added.
This comes in after Rahul Gandhi defended his brother-in-law Robert Vadra and stated that he had been “hounded by this government for the last ten years” following the Enforcement Directorate’s attachment of 43 properties worth Rs 37.64 crore linked to Vadra.
Gandhi called the action a continuation of a “witch hunt” by the government and said he stands with Robert, Priyanka Gandhi, and their children against what he called “malicious, politically motivated harassment.” He expressed confidence that the truth will eventually come out.
In a post on X, Rahul Gandhi wrote, “My brother-in-law has been hounded by this government for the last ten years. This latest chargesheet is a continuation of that witch hunt”
“I stand with Robert, Priyanka and their children as they face yet another onslaught of malicious, politically motivated slander and harassment. I know that they are all brave enough to withstand any kind of persecution and they will continue to do so with dignity. The truth will eventually prevail,” the post reads.
A day earlier, ED attached 43 immovable properties worth Rs 37.64 crore linked to Vadra and his entities, as well as filed a prosecution complaint or chargesheet against him and 10 others.
The properties belong to Vadra and his entities, including Sky Light Hospitality Pvt Ltd, officials privy to the development, told ANI.
The provisional attachment order was issued on July 16, 2025, as part of an ongoing probe based on an FIR registered by Gurugram Police on September 1, 2018. The case pertains to the alleged fraudulent purchase of 3.53 acres of land in Shikohpur village, Sector 83, Gurugram, by Vadra’s firm from Onkareshwar Properties Pvt Ltd on February 12, 2008. (ANI)
