Arvind Kejriwal targeting Robert Vadra to get cheap publicity, says Lalu Yadav

BEGUSARAI: The RJD supremo Lalu Prasad today lashed out at civil society activist Arvind Kejriwal for targeting the Congress president Sonia Gandhi's son in-law Robert Vadra for allegedly amassing huge wealth.

"Kejriwal is doing it (raising alleged amassment of wealth by Vadra) to get cheap publicity," he told reporters.

On the civil society activist's specific allegation that the realty major DLF had given an unsecured interest-free loan of Rs 65 crores to the Congress president's son in-law, Prasad asked as to what Kejriwal had to do if anybody gave its property for free to another.

It was for the umpteenth number of time that the RJD leader had rallied behind the Congress president in her hour of trouble or insinuation from her detractors.

About the strain in the BJP and the JD(U) over rumours that the Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi may be projected as the saffron party's prime ministerial candidate, Prasad said that the alliance between the two ruling coalition partners was a "love marriage and not an arranged one and as such was bound to break sooner or later".
