Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia on Saturday alleged that Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra did not disclose all the required information during nomination filing for the Wayanad bye-election and said that the Gandhi family is the "most corrupt" political family in the whole world.
"As per the Supreme Court's judgement in the case of Union of India Vs ADR, the court directed that any candidate would have to detail their criminal history and assets of the candidate and of his/her spouse and that of the dependent...However, the filed affidavit of Priyanka Gandhi Vadra doesn't disclose all the required information...If there is any most corrupt political family in the whole world, it is the Gandhi family. When it comes to making their wealth public, these people think that they will break the constitution, break the law and fool the public," Gaurav Bhatia said at a press conference in Delhi. He asked Priyanka Gandhi to respond to the allegations to inform the public about her stand on the issue. Priyanka Gandhi filed her nomination on October 23 in the presence of top leaders of the party as she embarks on her electoral debut. Congress party approved Priyanka Gandhi's candidature on October 15, after the bypoll schedule was announced by the Election Commission of India.
