Raebareli: Congress president Sonia Gandhi today launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi saying ‘he is a PM not a shahenshah’ and that all allegations levelled against her and family members are ‘baseless’ and part of the BJP’s campaign of a Congress-mukt Bharat.

“I have never seen anything like this, Modiji is a PM not a shehenshah (emperor),” she told reporters in her parliamentary constituency Raebareli.

When asked about allegations that her son-in-law Rober Vadra owns benami property in London, she dared the government to conduct an inquiry ‘if it has proof’.

“This is a conspiracy. What is the meaning of Congress-mukt Bharat? They make these false allegations every day. Let them hold an inquiry... the truth will then emerge,” she said.

The Income Tax department probe into the transactions of arms dealer Sanjay Bhandari has revealed that Vadra may have been gifted a benami flat worth Rs 19 crore in London in 2009. The address of the property is – House No. 12 Ellerton House, Bryanston Square, London.

On Modi government’s mega show at India Gate to mark two years in office, she said, “Our nation is facing drought, poverty, farmer is in pain; at these times a show is not appropriate.”

The Modi government had on May 28 organised a mega show ‘Ek Nayi Subah’ at the iconic India Gate in the national capital to highlight the achievements of two years rule.
