Scam history

M Ratan

For the past several days, Congress president Sonia Gandhi has been in the news for all the wrong reason. let us face the facts: Sadly, Sonia Gandhi’s role in alleged corrupt practices goes back to the 1960s and the 1970s when she became an ‘insurance agent’ of her brother-in-law Sanjay Gandhi for his infamous Maruti project, while living in her mother-in-law Prime Minister Indira Gandhi’s official residence, along with her husband Rajiv Gandhi. Sonia Gandhi was still an Italian citizen. Then came the Bofors scam in which her close friend Ottavio Quattrocchi was involved. He was in Delhi when the news broke but fled away.
