NEW DELHI: BJP on Saturday accused Congress functionary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra of "non-disclosure of essential information" regarding her and her husband Robert Vadra 's assets in her affidavit to contest the Nov 19 Lok Sabha bypoll from Wayanad.
BJP spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia said Gandhi violated the Supreme Court's directive to poll candidates to make a full disclosure of their, their spouse's and dependents' assets. "The SC order is binding on all citizens. The Gandhi family is not above law. There can be only one outcome. If somebody furnishes wrong information in the affidavit, they have no right to contest elections," Bhatia told reporters.
The date for scrutiny of nominations by poll officials is Oct 28. Referring to the alleged grabbing of National Herald 's assets by the Gandhi family, Bhatia said Priyanka Gandhi's affidavit made no mention of her ownership of shares in Associated Journals through a couple of trusts. This amounts to non-disclosure of essential information, he said.
Stating that his charge is based on "irrefutable" documents, Bhatia asked Priyanka Gandhi to respond to the allegations to inform the public about her stand on the issue.
