By Saiyed Moziz Imam Zaidi New Delhi, Jan 7 : Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra’s husband Robert Vadra has opened up on his desire to enter politics and contest elections after being subjected to grilling by the Income tax department.
Vadra alleged that he was subjected to such treatment because he is related to a prominent political family.
Speaking to IANS in New Delhi on Thursday at his Sukhdev Vihar office, Vadra said, “I am related to a family that has for generations served the people of this country and have even been martyred for the country. I have seen, learnt, campaigned, spent time in different parts of the country and I suppose to fight this kind of dynamic I have to be in Parliament.” He said “Obviously now I do feel I have fought this outside for far too long. I have explained myself, cleared myself but this is constant that they trouble me now as I am not in politics. I always kept away from politics because I have my set beliefs.” Vadra said he will take the decision at an appropriate time. “When I see a place where people will vote me to represent them and I can make a difference for people in that area and if my family approves of it,” he said.
He said that the entire family supports him specially Priyanka on his decisions.
