An allegation by civil society activists Arvind Kejriwal and Prashant Bhushan that Congress president Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law Robert Vadra had been hugely favoured by realty major DLF today triggered a political storm with the Congress dubbing it as "baseless and utterly irresponsible" while BJP demanded a probe. At a press conference here, Kejriwal and Bhushan alleged that Vadra had bought property worth crores of rupees between 2007 and 2010 with an "unsecured interest free loan" of Rs 65 crore given by DLF. They claimed that Vadra had secured the loan from DLF for companies floated by him and his mother with a seed capital of just Rs 50 lakh. 43-year-old Vadra, married to Priyanka Gandhi, was not in the capital and sources close to him said there was no reaction for the moment. Congress spokesperson Manish Tewari said that these are "baseless, misconceived and utterly irresponsible" allegations.
