Vadra-DLF scam – In 2012, former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi’s wife Sonia Gandhi and her son-in-law Robert Vadra were accused of taking an interest-free loan of Rs 65 crore from real estate company DLF.
Allegations were also made that the purpose of paying the money without interest was to provide political benefits to the company. It was also said that during the tenure of the Congress government at the Centre, Robert Vadra purchased land in many parts of the country at very low prices.
National Herald Case-2011
A company named Associated Journals Limited was formed in 1938 with Congress money and ran three newspapers – National Herald, Navjeevan and Qaumi Awaaz. These newspapers were closed on April 1, 2008.
In March 2011, Sonia Gandhi and her son Rahul Gandhi opened a company named Young India Limited, in which both had 38-38 percent stake. The purpose of setting up the company was to clear the liabilities of Rs 90.21 crore existing on AJL.
