Robert Vadra will go to jail if BJP comes to power, Uma Bharati says

 

Jhansi, 12 Apr 2014 (PTI): Senior BJP leader Uma Bharati on Saturday said that Robert Vadra, the son-in-law of Congress president Sonia Gandhi, has been involved in "several falsehoods" and if the party comes to power at the Centre he "would go jail".

 

"Son-in-law of Sonia Gandhi had been involved in several falsehoods and after the election if BJP comes to power then you must be sure that he would be in jail," she told reporters here.

 

She also alleged that the ruling Samajwadi Party in Uttar Pradesh was trying to win the election with the help of police.

 

Bharati alleged that the ruling party promoted the policemen and in return they were helping the party.

 

Earlier on Thursday Bharati had promised voters here a separate Bundelkhand state within three years, if her party is voted to power at the Centre.

 

"I am always in favour of separate Bundelkhand state. If my party is voted to power, I will ensure that Bundelkhand is made separate state within three years," Bharati said.

 

In a reply to a query over special package announced by the Planning Commission for this drought-prone region of Uttar Pradesh, Bharati said, "We will see where the package has gone after our government is made (at Centre)."

 

On Ram temple issue, Bharati said she hoped that in her life time, the temple would be constructed.

 

She also alleged that some officers in the Samajwadi Party-led UP government were working as party agents.
