<p>BJP’s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi on Monday sharpened his attack on Congress president Sonia Gandhi’s son-in-law Robert Vadra, saying an inquiry would be conducted against “Jijaji” and “all other episodes” of corruption if the party comes to power.<br /><br /></p>.<p>Modi, of late, has intensified his tirade against the Gandhi family, after Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi taunted him for his ‘Gujarat Model’ of development and his links with big businessmen.<br /><br />At two separate rallies in Bihar and Assam, Modi raked up alleged shoddy land deals of Vadra, saying the country wants to know about the “RSVP (Rahul, Sonia, Vadra, Priyanka) model”. <br /><br />The Gujarat Chief Minister again targeted Vadra at rallies in Ahmedabad and Etah, sarcastically describing him as “a magician who could turn Rs 1 lakh into Rs 300 crore in merely three years.”<br /><br />The attack comes within a week after Modi in an interview to a news channel asserted that there will be no vindictive action against Vadra.<br /><br />“The main focus of the BJP-led government will be to fulfil promises it has made to people and it’ll work with a positive attitude. It will not be vindictive towards anyone. I have paid the price for the past 12 years due to others’ vindictiveness. I will not follow that,” he had told the television channel.<br /><br />The BJP seems to have got fresh ammo after a story on Vadra’s land deal appeared in Wall Street Journal (WSJ) on April 17.<br /><br />“The Wall Street Journal found that during the decade Vadra's in-laws have held sway in New Delhi, the 44-year-old with a high-school education and no experience in property development amassed a large real-estate portfolio.<br /><br /> Based on a review of company filings, land records and interviews with property experts, the Journal calculated that through 2012 Vadra sold more than $12 million of property, and as of then he still held real estate valued at about $42 million,” WSJ noted in the article titled ‘Behind a Real-Estate Empire, Ties to India's Gandhi Dynasty’<br /><br />“It was not clear whether Vadra’s companies sold any more real estate since then because company filings for the past two years were not available on government websites,” it added.</p>
