Narendra Modi today launched a blistering attack on the Gandhi family by raking up the controversial land deals involving Robert Vadra in Haryana.

Addressing a rally attended by large number of farmers, the BJP Prime Ministerial candidate slammed the Congress government in the state as well as at Center for taking the farming community for a ride and "usurping" their land and selling it off at "dirt-cheap" prices.

"If in Haryana, it is the father-son duo who are doing the business, in Delhi, it is the mother-son duo. As if it was not enough, so the son-in-law (damadjee) has also entered the scene," Modi said.
 
"The farmers are scared that the Government is going to take away their land and sell off their lands at dirt-cheap prices to the agents. Farmers have to sell their land at throw away prices due to deeds of your jeejaji (brother-in-law)," he said.

Modi said due to the land policies of the Haryana government, "A person without even single paisa could earn Rs 50 crore in next three months. Shehzaade (Rahul Gandhi), what are these policies through which you have given land to your jeejaji."

Mocking the Gandhi family over the land deal issue, Modi asked if there was anyone in the rally who could earn Rs 50 crore in three months without investing a single paise.

"Is anyone among you a magician who knows such a trick. This trick is known only to Shezaade's family," he said.
