Inquiry Ordered Into The Nehru-Gandhi Family Assets

Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar has ordered for an investigation into the assets belonging to the Gandhi-Nehru family in their state. The BJP government Chief Secretary Keshani Anand Arora had directed the urban local bodies department principal secretary to prepare a list of the assets belonging to the family existing in the state.

It is alleged that between 2005 and 2010, several properties were acquired in Haryana in the name of Gandhi-Nehru family. Haryana had a Congress government from 2005 to 2014 and Bhupendra Singh Hooda was the Chief Minister and it is alleged that the assets were acquired during this period.

At this time, several trusts of the Congress party acquired assets for the Gandhi-Nehru family. Some properties are already under investigation. Now, following the central government letter, the Haryana government has ordered the investigation of the remaining assets of the Gandhi-Nehru family.

Arora also directed for passing on the same information to the additional chief secretaries.

Even the Union home ministry also asked for a probe last month. It even appointed a panel to inquire into the assets of Gandhi family, Rajiv Gandhi Foundation, Rajeev Charitable Trust, Indira Gandhi Memorial Trust. Now, the same is being replicated by the Haryana government.

“The scrutiny is on an allotment of an institutional plot in Gurugram for setting up a hospital, alleged re-allotment of an institutional plot in the name of Associated Journals Limited and certain sale deeds involving Congress president Sonia Gandhi’s son-in-law Robert Vadra,” the report received by the Haryana government said.
