Days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi took a jibe at him with his political damaad remark, Congress chief Sonia Gandhi's  son-in-law Robert Vadra on Tuesday hit back, accusing  the BJP government of indulging in petty politics to divert attention from core issues.


Hitting out at the BJP, Vadra posted on his Facebook account: "Parliament begins and so do their petty diversion political tactics... People of India are not fooled. Regret to see India led by such so called leaders!!"


Vadra's remarks came days after the Prime Minister took an apparent swipe at the culture of dynastic politics by mocking Congress chief Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law while addressing a gathering on the 100th birth anniversary of late Congress leader Girdhari Lal Dogra in Jammu and Kashmir.


Modi praised Dogra for having a keen eye to judge the character of people and cited his selection of Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley as his son-in-law as an example of this.


He also took the opportunity to take a dig at Vadra by saying that Dogra did not give undue advantage to his son-in-law unlike "some others these days".


"Both Dograji and Jaitleyji have stayed away from each other in political life. Both the leaders have held a different political approach. Son-in-laws should not be known by their father-in-law's name and vice versa. Dograji did not give an undue advantage to his family but today, we know what things are heard because of son-in-laws," unlike other political families," he said.
