purchase of 3.531 acres of agriculture land in village Shikohpur, Sector 83, Gurgaon for Rs. 7.5 crores using a false cheque. Cheque No. 607251 for Rs 7.5 crores was shown as payment made to

the vendor M/s Onkareshwar Proper�es in registered deed No. 4928 dated 12.02.2008. It was claimed in the deed that Rs. 45 lakhs towards stamp duty was also paid in cash by M/s Skylight

Hospitality. The advances received from M/s DLF were used to pay for the cost of land and stamp duty later on 9th August 2008. The land with commercial colony license permission for 2.701 acres was sold to M/s DLF for Rs. 58 crores. As per clause 3 (a) of a collabora�on agreement

dated 5th August, 2008, the possession of the land was already handed over to M/s DLF. A total considera�on of Rs. 58 crores for sale of land and commercial colony license was received as

Destroying Ins�tu�ons, bligh�ng the honest and rewarding the

corrupt

The governments of Congress ruled states have been reduced to vassals under the

Gandhi‐Vadra family. The ins�tu�ons of the State and their statutory apparatuses are

being destroyed, the honest and sincere officers are ac�vely discriminated against and

hounded and the corrupt are rewarded and promoted. The BJP asks the following

ques�ons from the first family of the Indian Na�onal Congress.

1. An IAS officer who handled change in land‐use and colony license permissions for

nine years from 2005 to 2013 in the office of the Chief Minister Haryana was appointed

Member of UPSC in September, 2013, i.e., 5 months a�er his re�rement. The officer had

re�red in the rank of Addi�onal Secretary. The post of Member of UPSC is normally

meant for officers in the rank of Secretary to Government of India. What considera�ons

weighed in the appointment?

2. Why is the statutory order dated 15 October, 2012 of the Director General

Consolida�on of Land Holdings, Haryana under sec�on 42 of the East Punjab

Consolida�on Act of 1948, cancelling the land muta�on between M/s Skylight Hospitality

and M/s DLF Universal not implemented �ll date? Are some individuals bigger than the

rule of law? Can a Commi�ee of three IAS officers appointed by a Congress Chief

Minister conduct a fair and independent inquiry against the Gandhi‐Vadra family? Can

this Commi�ee usurp the authority of the High Court and nullify a statutory order? What

is the credibility of the Commi�ee of three IAS officers, of whom one member was

Principal Secretary, Town & Country Planning Department and in whose tenure the

commercial colony license was wrongly renewed on 18.01.2011? What considera�ons

weighed upon the Government in extending the service of the Chairman of this

Commi�ee a�er his re�rement from the IAS?

Ques�ons to Smt. Sonia Gandhi and Shri Rahul Gandhi about land

purchase by Shri Robert Vadra in Rajasthan

1. Is it a fact or not that Mr. Robert Vadra through his various companies like Skylight

Realty Pvt Ltd, Real Earth Estates Pvt Ltd, Sky Light Hospitality Pvt Ltd etc. purchased

about 1634 hectares lands in Rajasthan’s Bikaner district between June 2009 to August

2011. For what purpose such huge chunks of lands were purchased in various parts of

Bikaner district.

2. Is it a fact or not that the western districts of Rajasthan receive the maximum solar

radia�on and solar energy was sought to be promoted under the overall policy of

encouraging non‐conven�onal energy. With this end, solar park was sought to be

established as per the solar policy of Rajasthan Government were by more than 700

companies have registered themselves with a proposal to generate more than 16,000

MW of solar power.

3. Is it a fact or not that as per Government of India policy the Government of

Rajasthan was to establish a land bank to provide land at 10% of DLC rate to investor for

solar energy? Quite aware of all this Mr. Robert Vadra through his front companies had

purchased most of the land near the Highway or near the grids sub‐sta�ons taking

benefit of the very helpful a�tude of the Ashok Gehlot led Congress Government of

Rajasthan.

4. Mr. Robert Vadra very well knew that land around power sub‐sta�on would be

valuable once Government announces incen�ves for solar power genera�on because

solar plants situated close to sub‐sta�on are most economical because with less

investment power can be evacuated.

5. Is it a fact or not that companies were forced to purchase land from Robert Vadra’s

companies at huge cost who were desirous of producing solar power. The then Congress

Government in Rajasthan was working in perfect co‐ordina�on with Robert Vadra to

facilitate huge return for his investment.

6. To help him even the Agriculture Land Ceiling Provision of Rajasthan were

amended. Under sec�on 4(J) of 1973 Land Ceiling Act the maximum permissible area in

the desert zone is 175 acres. Since the huge purchase of 1634 hectares approximately

was clearly viola�ve hence an Amendment was passed in a hurry in 2010 by the then

Ashok Gehlot’s Government exemp�ng such companies which wanted to establish

project but for that it was important to get prior Government approval for specific

project related non‐agriculture purposes to avail the exemp�on beyond the permissible

limit.

7. The Agriculture land in huge chunk purchased by Shri Robert Vadra companies are

much in excess of the ceiling limit and no land use change for specified projects has been

taken. Therefore is it not a fact that for failure to furnish proper factual returns, Sh.

Robert Vadra must suffer the prosecu�on for offences under the Act punishable with

imprisonment for two years.

8. Is it not a fact that Mr. Robert Vadra has not established any project in public

interest nor encouraged investment? Infact he has traded with huge chunks of land of

hundreds of poor farmers for undue enrichment in viola�on of law which is clearly

punishable.
