Mangalore, Oct 14: Union minister for corporate affairs Dr M Veerappa Moily said that the allegations against Congress president Sonia Gandhi’s son-in-law Robert Vadra of getting favours from real estate giant DLF was 'politically motivated'.

Speaking to reporters at the Circuit House here on Sunday October 14, he said that allegations made by RTI activist Arvind Kejriwal was an attempt to tarnish the reputation of the party. "The person who made the allegations does not have any authority," he added.
 
Speaking on the issue of Cauvery River dispute, Moily reiterated that the state government had failed to present the ground reality of the Cauvery basin before the Apex Court.

"There is good storage of water in Mettur dam, also, Tamil Nadu will receive good North West monsoon in the coming days, hence there is no need of releasing water to Tamil Nadu," he said.
 
Speaking on Congress president Sonia Gandhi’s visit to city on October 18, he said that her visit will help the party to strengthen its base in the region. He criticized the BJP-led stated government on corruption and said if the Congress comes back to power in state, all the allegations on leaders of BJP government will be re-investigated.

Addressing a Congress meet at the party office later, Moily urged the party workers and leaders to show unity, especially when Sonia Gandhi comes to the city on October 18. He said that the Congress workers should take a pledge to work together and win the next elections. He reiterated that Congress was against corruption and that if it comes to power in the state, BJP would be exposed.
