BJP rejects CONC’s vendetta charge

Speaking to reporters, Prasad outlined the main allegations against Gandhi that as 76% of the shares of the young Indian company, they “appropriated” tens of millions of real estate owned by the related Journals Limited (AJL), which owns the country’s release newspapers.
He said Congress would have the right to hold “Dharnas” (protesting Ed Chargesheet against Sonia Gandhi and Rahul), but that right did not extend to the misappropriation of public property the government has provided to the National Herald.
He accused Congress of issuing threats to investigative bodies and asked whether the party and Gandhi believed in the appropriate legal process.
“We condemn the threats of Congress. The Modi government was established. This will enable the law to take its own path,” he said.
He said the young India wrote down the Rs 90 loan given to AJL by Congress and acquired ownership of the company with a paltry investment of Rs 5 million.
He said the government provided land to AJL, adding that Congressional agencies allegedly used the National Herald to collect advertising and property.
He claimed: “The newspapers established in the struggle for freedom embrace the voices of those who fought against British imperialism and degenerate into a profitable drill for the establishment of the Congress party.”
He said it was a “Gandhi development model” as he pointed to allegations against Sonia Gandhi’s son-in-law Robert Vadra, which was a huge profit in Haryana land deals colluded by the then Congress government in the state.
He claimed that the National Herald began in the 1930s and was a voice of a free struggle with 5,000 shareholders, but was reduced to the fief of the Nehru Gandhi family.
The Enforcement Bureau has filed a charge against Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi, among others, accusing them of alleged money laundering in a special court in the State Pioneer case.
Congress called ED’s charges accusation form a politics of vendetta and claimed that the assets in the case were “a crime sponsored by the state disguised as a rule of law.”
