Somaiya drags Rahul into row

BJP Member of Parliament Kirit Somaiya on Wednesday again trained his guns on Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi and sought to link him with AgustaWestland kickback case, asking why he purchased shops in a South Delhi Mall from the realty firm Emaar MGF.

“Rahul Gandhi has admitted that he has bought the shops. What was your (Rahul’s) intention behind purchasing the shops? Have you decided to leave politics and start a grocery shop,” the BJP leader told reporters. Rahul bought them and again sold them to the MGF, he said.

Earlier, he raised the issue in the Lok Sabha during Zero Hour, accusing Rahul of having some links in the VVIP chopper deal without taking his name.
