Senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Yashwant Sinha on Tuesday sought a Special Investigation Team (SIT) probe into alleged land deals involving Congress president Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law Robert Vadra in Haryana.
"Central Government has been continuously covering up these scams. Want SIT to inquiry into this," Sinha told media here.
"Not only Haryana but in entire NCR, wherever Congress is in government, Robert Vadra has indulged in land scams," Sinha said.
Further taking on Vadra, Sinha said: "He has presented a unique business model in country where without any investment one can make crores of rupees."
"There are many business schools that teach us how to make money and profit, but he has learnt the art of making hundreds of crores of rupees without going to any business school, without making any investment," he added.
Last year, Ashok Khemka, a senior Haryana cadre IAS officer, alleged irregularities in the land dealings of Robert Vadra and DLF in the state and asked the state government to give him a copy of the inquiry reports conducted by it.

It led to a political hue and cry, but did not stop Khemka from seeking a response from the government on whether a cheque issued by Robert Vadra"s company was a dummy cheque or not. He had said if the report had appeared in newspapers then he should also have access to it.
Khemka was transferred from Director General Consolidation of Land Holdings and Land Records-cum-Inspector General of Registration to his present posting in the State"s Seed Development Corporation shortly after he initiated a probe into land dealings between Vadra and DLF.
A probe report submitted by four deputy commissioners in Haryana had given a "clean chit" to Vadra over his land deals.
The Prime Minister's Office in November, 2012 had told the Allahabad High Court that charges of irregularities in land deals against Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law were false, vexatious and based on hearsay.
It said that the petition was driven by a desire for publicity and seems to be actuated by political considerations rather than public interest.
