[New Delhi]I Am Being Used as “Political Tool” Contends Robert Wadhera.CM Of Haryana Recently Announced That Robert Wadhera Will Be Arrested Within Six Months.
Robert Wadhera whose land deals are being probed in BJP-ruled Haryana and Rajasthan, today said that he was being subjected to a “political witch-hunt” and used as a “political tool”.
Son-in-law of Congress President Sonia Gandhi, the controversial businessman said a distinction should be made between him as an individual conducting business like anyone else and the politics of the family of his wife Priyanka Gandhi Vadra “without constantly attempting to link the two”.
Alleging that there was a “sustained political attack” on him, 46-year-old Robert claimed that BJP was using attacks on him as a “political tool whenever they need to divert public attention”.
He said he has always conducted business transparently in accordance with the law but he was being “singled out” and “lies” were spread which made it difficult for him at times to come to terms with the “way I have been portrayed”.
On the inquiry being undertaken against his business deals in Haryana and Rajasthan besides the Enforcement Directorate sending a notice to his company, he said, “There is a clear-cut political witch-hunt…. The more they hound me, the more apparent it is becoming that they are using their attacks on me as a political tool whenever they need to divert public attention.”
On the probe in Haryana where the one-man Justice S N Dhingra Commission is looking into grant of land licences to some companies including that of Vadra’s in four villages of Gurgaon, Vadra said he had not received any notices so far but has read the media reports in this regard.
The BJP government in Haryana had in May set up the Dhingra Commission to probe alleged irregularities in grant of licences by the Department of Town and Country Planning to some companies, including that of Vadra, in Sector 83 of Gurgaon for developing commercial colonies during the previous Congress government of Bhupinder Singh Hooda

Former Haryana [Congress]2 Time Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda today slammed the state BJP government for allegedly working like a “trader” while turning a blind eye to the interests of the farmers and industrialists.
Asserting that his government had set up four thermal plants in the state, Hooda said the present dispensation is “selling” the power generated by these plants to other states.
“The BJP government is working like traders,” he said, adding, industries were leaving the state due to power shortage.
Taking a dig at Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar over his claim of bringing in foreign investment to the tune of Rs 10,000 crore, Hooda asked why should there be talk about foreign investment when “the present government has imposed 50 per cent hike in power tariff in a clandestine manner.”
He rued that farmers were facing problems as 1509 variety of paddy was not being procured in the state.
“The 1509 variety of paddy was procured at a rate of Rs 4000 per quintal during the previous Congress regime while now farmers are being looted by the government as this variety is purchased at Rs 1200 per quintal only,” he said.
He said in the coming days the government will miserably fail in procurement of Basmati variey of paddy in the state.
“The life of farmers has become miserable in the state due to power hike as they are not in a condition to pay their inflated electricity bills,” he said.
