Parliament begins and so do their petty diversion political tactics... People of India are not fooled.Regret to see India Led by such so called leaders !!Posted by Robert Vadra on Monday, July 20, 2015Why he put his own photo along with his comments, no body knows. But then again, all his Facebook posts are accompanied by his own pictures. The post right before this one had him complaining, "These Ppl are always after me !! Handsome Hona koi Paap hai Kya ?!"Vadra's post comes after there was uproar in the Rajya Sabha when the ruling BJP brought up the land deal in Haryana.[caption id="attachment_2354198" align="alignleft" width="380"]
Robert Vadra. PTI[/caption]As this earlier Firstpost article points out, the Vadra has built a reputation for himself with his posts on Facebook and also, of course, the contentious land deal.It was only in May, 2015 that Vadra put up a ridiculous status update at a time when his brother-in-law Rahul Gandhi was taking on the Narendra Modi government calling it a 'suit-boot ki sarkar'.Suit Boot, Ji. Posted by Robert Vadra on Wednesday, May 13, 2015But this doesn't really come as a surprise from Vadra,who from slamming reporters to calling the country a banana republic, has done it all.In 2012, Indian Against Corruption (IAC), then newly formed movement (yes, the time when Anna Hazare, Kiran Bedi, Prashant Bhushan and Arvind Kejriwal were all still friends), alleged that the son-in-law of the country's then ruling party chief Sonia Gandhi had indulged in real-estate corruption.In a reply, Vadra put up a Facebook status saying: "Mango people in banana republic".
