'Dalali ki Dukaan': BJP Steps Up Attack Against Congress Over Priyanka Gandhi's Net Worth

New Delhi: The Bharatiya Janata Party ( BJP ) on Thursday stepped up its attack on Congress and the Gandhi family, accusing them of hypocrisy and corruption. BJP leader Gaurav Bhatia launched a blistering attack on the Gandhi family, questioning the sources of their "ill-gotten wealth".

This comes a day after Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra filed her nomination for Wayanad Lok Sabha bypoll and declared a total income of over Rs 46.39 lakh in the financial year 2023-2024, including rental income and interest from banks and other investments. He also accused Robert Vadra, Priyanka Gandhi's husband, of hiding his actual net worth.

During a press conference in Delhi, BJP spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia said, "The people in the country want to ask a few questions from the 'fake Gandhis'. This affidavit (of Priyanka Gandhi Vadra ) is a confession of the corruption that these 'fake Gandhis' and their brother-in-law Robert Vadra have been doing... The declared net worth of Robert Vadra is lower than what the IT department is demanding..."

Congress is Dalali Ki Dukaan Not Mohabbat Ki Dukan: BJP

Bhatia also took a jibe at Congress by saying " Congress is dalali ki dukaan not mohabbat ki dukan. They are number one in appeasement politics and corruption."

Launching a blistering attack on Rahul Gandhi for his old remarks that he made in 2018 over Rafale deal, in which he had alleged that the BJP -led Centre had taken away money from poor and handed it over to industrialist Anil Ambani, Bhatia said, "We all know Rahul Gandhi is full of corruption. He said money taken from poor and given to Ambani. This is the 11 the year of the BJP govt. No one can point a finger at us."

Bhatia, added, “The entire country is asking Sonia Gandhi ji, Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra to furnish an explanation what were the means of this prima facie ill-gotten wealth, quid pro quo, 'commissionkhori'... Robert Vadra ...crime master gogo 'aaya hoon to kuch to leke jaunga'. Please answer, let the nation know about it.”

Referring to the Gandhi family as a symbol of hypocrisy, he said, "One should learn from the Gandhi family, what is hypocrisy."
