Weeks after four Supreme Court judges addressed a presser in Delhi in January 2018, a visitor asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi in an afternoon interaction at his residence: There is a sort of crisis building in the judiciary..
If I do something, xxx (naming a prominent journalist) will tweet that Modi is interfering with the judiciary, he said with a mirthful smile..
Incidentally, in the alleged Gurgaon land scam involving her husband Robert Vadra, the BJP-led Haryana government informed the high court in April 2023 that there was no violation of rules or regulations (in the transfer of land from Vadras firm to the DLF)..
Between the lodging of the police case in Gurgaon land deal in 2018 and the purported clean chit, the realty major DLF bought electoral bonds worth Rs 170 crore in six tranches and all of them were redeemed by the BJP..
Incidentally, the bonds purchased by Aurobindo Pharma before Reddys arrest were redeemed by many parties, including the Bharat Rashtra Samithi, the Telugu Desam Party and the BJP..
