Businessman Robert Vadra on Friday said the country’s politics is at an all-time low and desperate measures were visible as Prime Minister Narendra Modi made a personal attack on former PM Rajiv Gandhi, accusing him of using a naval warship for a holiday.
“Politics at an all-time low…Desperate measures are visible. Hitting out at assassinated prime minister Shri Rajiv Gandhi, to mislead the people of India. A person who cannot defend himself…
“We the family will strive for his vision and the people of India will fight for his dignity and respect. It’s only time for a respectful change in our country,” he wrote on Twitter and Facebook.
Vadra is married to Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, the daughter of UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi.
A controversy broke out on Thursday over Modi’s allegation that Rajiv Gandhi had used INS Viraat as a “personal taxi” for a holiday, a charge rejected by the Congress as well as former Navy chief Admiral L Ramdas (retd) and a former commanding officer of the aircraft carrier.
