Robert Vadra, Congress chief Sonia Gandhi’s son-in-law, on Thursday said he did not need his wife Priyanka Gandhi to “enhance” his life.
“I did not need Priyanka to enhance my life. I had enough. I always had enough. My parents gave me enough. I think I was educated enough to understand that I can sustain no matter what comes my way. That is my strength really,” he said. Mr Vadra has often faced attacks over his links with the Gandhi family and his businesses. To a question, he ruled out joining politics just because he belongs to the Gandhi family but said he may go that way if he can make a difference that people will like. He also took a dig at the Central government, saying people are “upset” and will “revolt”. “I wish the government best. But I think people will revolt and understand what is right and wrong. In business people are upset, in real estate people are upset. They will start voicing their opinion soon enough,” Mr Vadra told ANI.
While the BJP reacted sharply, saying “a people’s revolt” had already happened in 2014 when the “corrupt” UPA government was voted out of power, the Congress declined to comment.
The businessman, whose land deals are being probed by BJP governments in Haryana and Rajasthan, said people will soon realise when their day-to-day life was better and they were happy. “As far as communal issues are concerned, we (country) take all religions along.”
