New Delhi, Oct 6: An allegation by civil society activists Arvind Kejriwal and Prashant Bhushan that Congress president Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law Robert Vadra had been hugely favoured by realty major DLF today triggered a political



 

 
On its part, BJP spokesperson Ravishankar Prasad accused the Congress governments in the National Capital Region of giving away huge chunk of land to DLF as a quid pro quo for benefits given to the son-in-law of Congress president.

He sought answers to questions as to why DLF should "dole out" flats and land to Vadra. "If DLF was doing charity to Vadra, then does it do similar charity to others?" he said.

Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda said, "We have not favoured anyone. We have given the land through through internatinal bidding to the highest bidder in a transparent manner."

Tewari said, "It is the worst kind of political chicanery. Those very forces that were responsible for attempts to malign Congress leadership in the 70s and 80s have now resurfaced in a new avatar.
