Robert Vadra, husband of Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, is at the centre of controversy as the BJP raises questions about the legitimacy of his declared assets. BJP national spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia claimed that the assets listed in Priyanka\u2019s election affidavit are significantly lower than the true value of what she and Vadra possess.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\u201cThe assets of Robert Vadra declared in the poll affidavit are lower than the income-tax department’s demand,\u201d Bhatia asserted, revealing that the total tax demand stands at \u20b9<\/span>75 crore. He described Priyanka\u2019s affidavit as a \u201cconfession of corruption\u201d by the Gandhi family.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n On Thursday, Priyanka Gandhi filed her nomination for the Wayanad bypoll, marking her official entry into electoral politics. However, her debut was overshadowed by BJP’s fierce criticisms, which labelled her candidacy a “victory of dynastic politics and defeat of merit.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n According to her affidavit, Priyanka Gandhi had a total income of more than \u20b9<\/span>46.39 lakh in the 2023-2024 financial year, including rental income and interest from banks and other investments.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The Congress candidate has also declared that her husband, Vadra, has movable assets worth more than \u20b9<\/span>37.9 crore and immovable assets worth over \u20b9<\/span>27.64 crore, , raising eyebrows of BJP regarding their true valuation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Gaurav Bhatia alleged that Priyanka Gandhi undervalued her Shimla residence, a claim that feeds into broader accusations of financial impropriety.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cShe has also shown the value of her house in Shimla much lower than what it is\u201d, BJP Spokesperson Bhatia alleged.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The BJP leader also questioned the legality of the Gandhis\u2019 property \u2013 Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi \u2013 transactions, stating, \u201cThere are certain restrictions on buying property in Himachal Pradesh, but the rules were bent for the Gandhi family.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n “These are people with SUVs and farmhouses, big vehicles and big bungalows…. But they do not disclose the correct value of their assets,” the BJP leader said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The BJP has ramped up calls for transparency from the Gandhi family, insisting that they must explain the sources of their wealth. \u201cThe entire country is asking Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra to furnish the means of their ill-gotten money. Quid pro quo, ‘commission-khori’? Robert Vadra is crime master Gogo. He will take away something with him if he has come. Please let the country know about it,\u201d Bhatia declared.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n “Priyanka Gandhi is so eligible because she is the sister of a former president of the party, granddaughter of a former president of the party and mother of the future president of the party,” the BJP leader said, taking a dig at the Congress, without naming Rahul Gandhi, Indira Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi’s son Raihan Vadra.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nPriyanka Gandhi\u2019s Electoral Debut<\/h2>\n
