Digvijay attacks on Vajpayee, Advani, alleged their kin to involve in corruption

In the series of mud-slinging, Congress General Secretary Digvijay Singh Sunday alleged to the relatives of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader Lal Krishna Advani of being involved in corruption and wrongdoings.

Alleging to the kin of top two leaders of opposition party BJP, Digvijay said in a television interview that there is evidence that relatives of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader L.K. Advani were involved in corruption and wrong-doing.

“But, Congress was not interested in raking up these allegations,” Singh said by adding that there were lot of things, which came out during the NDA regime.

Singh said the evidence he has, "could" lead to allegations of corruption and wrong-doing against them and will be embarrassing for the leaders.

The Congress leader said that politicians are also human beings. We are not gods...We can't keep a track or check on the innumerable relations, we have.

He also dismissed allegations against Robert Vadra, Congress president Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law, saying there was no illegality in speedy clearance in mutation of land or change of land use permission.

"Sonia Gandhi is not the chartered accountant of Robert Vadra," he said, wondering whether "mothers-in-law also do the accounting for sons-in- law," when asked whether Congress President was aware of the rise in fortune of Vadra and whether she ever questioned it.

"I am a politician. What my relations do is not my business," he said, adding that he also has four daughters and four sons-in-law, but does not interfere in their lives or activities.
