Union Minister Anurag Thakur, addressing a press conference, targeted Congress matriarch Sonia Gandhi and her son Rahul Gandhi over what he calls a “zero-investment real estate bonanza.” He claimed the duo effectively took control of AJL’s property portfolio via Young Indian Pvt Ltd, which required minimal capital input.

Thakur explained that Young Indian was created with a nominal capital of ₹5 lakh, yet came to control AJL, an entity with assets reportedly worth over ₹2,000 crore. He argues this raises red flags over asset valuation, taxation, and public trust.

Calling it the “biggest backdoor acquisition in Indian political history,” Thakur said the deal was hidden under the guise of reviving a defunct newspaper. “They used nostalgia and emotion to engineer a private gain,” he said.

The Congress party, on the defensive, accused the BJP of twisting facts and orchestrating a media trial. Senior leaders insisted that the motive behind the deal was noble, and that no profits were made or intended.

Meanwhile, BJP supporters see this as vindication of their long-standing claim that dynastic politics in India thrives on privilege and special access. The case continues to polarize opinions, with the ED’s next moves under scrutiny.
