New Delhi: Activist-turned-politician Arvind Kejriwal is expected to divulge more details on the unsecured loan of Rs 65 crore that Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law Robert Vadra took from realty major DLF. The anti-corruption activist accused Vadra of getting the money from DLF and said that he would address a press conference on Tuesday evening and share more evidence against Vadra which would show that he received many more such favours because of his proximity to the Congress high command.
Both Vadra and DLF have, however, denied the allegations. Vadra on Monday night shut down his account on social networking site Facebook the controversy as Kejriwal questioned the rise in his fortune. Sources close to Vadra, son-in-law of Congress chief Sonia Gandhi, confirmed that the former closed down his account but refused to specify the reasons behind it.
According to reports, Vadra was unhappy with somebody making a controversy out of a light comment made by him in a post on Facebook on Monday. Vadra had reportedly written on his Facebook page "mango people in a banana republic", but later deleted it. Kejriwal also slammed Vadra for his "Mango people" remark. Vadra has reportedly communicated to some of his friends that he will open a new account on the Facebook soon in which he will include only his closed-ones in the friend list.
The IAC has demanded an apology from Vadra saying the comment on 'banana republic' was an insult to the country. Taking a dig, Kejriwal also responded to Vadra's Facebook post, by tweeting, "Evidence pouring in from mango men from across the country. Mango men wud prove to be nemesis for the 'powerful'." Vadra ultimately deleted his Facebook account.
