Vadra land deal: Law will take its own course, says Haryana CM

November 02, 2014 18:56

On a day when media reported that Robert Vadra got a Rs 44-crore windfall gain in Haryana land deal, Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar today said law will take its own course in the matter.

"Law will take its own course," he said when asked by reporters here to comment on the land deals involving the company of Congress President Sonia Gandhi's businessman son-in-law.

Asked about other alleged land scams during the previous Congress government in the state, Khattar maintained that the law will take its own course.

A draft CAG report is believed to have found that Vadra had reaped nearly Rs 44 crore in windfall gains in land deals in Haryana during the Bhupinder Singh Hooda regime.

The report also said the Haryana government did not insist on recovering over Rs 40 crore of the profit he made by selling the land to DLF Universal.

Khattar was speaking to reporters after his Minister, Bikram Singh Yadav, assumed charge at the Haryana Civil Secretariat in Chandigarh.

Asked to comment on Vadra reportedly losing his cool and pushing the microphone of a reporter in Delhi when questioned about land deals involving his company, Haryana's Health Minister Anil Vij told reporters in Ambala that "one only reacts in such a manner and shows anger when one has something to hide".
