Haryana Government become the agent of Government : Kejriwal
New Delhi: Anti-corruption activist Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday termed the Haryana government as an “agent” of realty major DLF, which has been linked with Congress president Sonia Gandhi’s son-in-law Robert Vadra.
“The Haryana government is not a people’s government. It has become an agent of DLF, Kejriwal told the media, and asked Haryana to bring out a white paper on its dealings with the company. He cited court records and other documents to back his allegations.
“Panchayat land has been handed over to DLF, HUDA land has been handed over to DLF, FAR (floor area ratio) has been increased for DLF, land use rule have been changed (for DLF),” he said.
Kejriwal said the Punjab and Haryana High Court had in recent times noted the “malafide nexus” between the Haryana government and DLF.
A former income tax officer, Kejriwal hit out at Finance Minister P. Chidambaram for speaking in defence of Vadra.
“All the evidence we have provided today makes it a fit case for an income tax raid,” he said. “I have been an income tax officer, and I know it. But after the country’s Finance Minister speaks in favour of Vadras, which officer will have the guts to give (Vadra) a notice?”
What is the relation between Vadra and the government?”Why is the finance minister defending him? Why is the law minister defending him? All the ministers are trying to save him.”Last week, Kejriwal had fired his first salvo when he alleged that Vadra’s fortunes had escalated sharply because of his business dealings with DLF.
