Following the much-talked-about crisis of the Yes Bank, a war of words broke out with the ruling BJP trying to link the issue with the Gandhi family over a painting brought by the Yes Bank founder
It all started with the BJP's information and technology wing in-charge Amit Malviya took to Twitter to post a video of a news channel report which claims that Yes Bank founder Rana Kapoor who was arrested by the cops has purchased a painting from Priyanka Gandhi Vadra who is currently serving as the Congress leader.
Mr. Malviya even alleged that the Gandhi family has "deep links" with every financial crime that happens in India.
The opposition Congress party hit back at the allegation and termed it as fake and termed it as a "diversionary" tactic.
The party said that Priyanka Gandhi sold M F Hussain painting of her father Rajiv Gandhi to Kapoor for Rs 2 crore, and added that the amount was disclosed in her income tax return of 2010.
"Every financial crime in India has deep link with the Gandhis. Mallya used to send flight upgrade tickets to Sonia Gandhi. Had access to MMS (Manmohan Singh) and PC (P Chidambaram). Is absconding. Rahul inaugurated Nirav Modi's bridal jewellery collection, he defaulted. Rana bought Priyanka Vadra's paintings," read Malviya's Tweet.
Congress' chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala expressed his shock over how come an MF Hussain painting of late Rajiv Gandhi which was sold 10 years ago has connections with the unprecedented giving of loans of Rs 2,00,000 crore in five years of the Modi government.
"Why did the loan book rise by 100 per cent in two years after demonetisation i.e from Rs 98,210 cr in March 2016 to Rs 2,03,534 ar in March 2018? Were PM and FM sleeping, ignorant or complicit?" he asked.
