Sonia Gandhi filed her nomination from Raebareli two days
ago. Other than her affidavit stating her fortune being only close to 10 crore rupees,
what astonished many was the absence of Priyanka Gandhi and Robert
Vadra.
While local congress
members remained bemused at it, the family spokesperson was heard saying that
Priyanka has fallen ill and Mr. Vadra also preferred to remain by her side.
It must be noted that this was the first time that Priyanka and
Robert bunked Sonia’s nomination since 1999.
Speculations are high that Robert Vadra has been advised to
remain away from any kind of spotlight till the elections. It is not long ago
that Vadra was in the eye of the storm when Aam Aadmi Party functionaries
levied serious land scam charges against him. It was certainly one of the most
prominent direct accusations on the holier-than-thou first family of Indian
politics.
Indeed Congress led government in Haryana gave a clean-chit
to Vadra in a record time-period of less than 24 hours which would most
probably be the fastest inquiry in the history of Independent India.
Not taking For A Ride Again!!! |
This certainly had hit the first family in the most
unexpected manner. At a time when congress is playing defensive after indulging in historic level of corruption during its regime, it can be termed a good move to keep Mr.
Robert Vadra low on profile.
Last year Mr. Vadra has even led independent bike rallies
for Rahul Gandhi. This year one Kumar Vishwas is campaigning hard in the Gandhi
scion’s bastion. Kumar Vishwas was particularly critical of Mr. Vadra during
recent Delhi assembly polls. He never missed an opportunity to take a jibe at
Jija Ji.
Sending Robert Vadra in Amethi now can have even bitter
consequences. Whatever one may say of Kumar Vishwas but he certainly is an
orator and what he would make of a campaigning Vadra in Amethi is not hard to
predict.
All this while Congress is all set to lose much of the
things, keeping Vadra out of it is an appropriate face saving move for the
first family.
And Mr. Vadra you weren’t actually right, India indeed is
not a banana republic of mango people!!!
