Congress rewarded property dealer's brother after he facilitated Robert Vadra's land deals: report

New Delhi, Oct 19:  The Congress party during the Haryana assembly elections in 2009 gave ticket to the brother of a property dealer who had facilitated land deals for Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law Robert Vadra in






Little surprise that when Lalit Nagar won a Congress ticket in the 2009 assembly elections, even Congressmen saw it as a reward for his and his brother's services as trusted real estate agents.

"Nagar bahut halka aadmi tha (Nagar was a lightweight). He had done some work in Youth Congress years ago, that's all," the report quoted a Congress leader as saying.

"I won't even call him a lightweight. He was a nobody," says Krishna Pal, BJP MLA from Tigaon, who defeated Nagar by 811 votes.

"Nagar was chosen over senior Congressmen with 30-40 years of political experience only because he was Robert Vadra's man.

"He has also bought land for Vadra in Amipur village in Faridabad district," he adds.
