Gandhi family should be called 'bail family': BJP spokesperson

The BJP on Saturday mocked the Nehru-Gandhi family as a "bail family", hours after opposition Congress president Rahul Gandhi's brother-in-law Robert Vadra was granted interim bail by a city court in a money laundering case.

Addressing a press conference at the party headquarters, BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra said since the "chowkidar", a reference to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is tough, it rattles "thieves".

Patra said, "Gandhi family should be called a bail family as all its members are out on bail."
