Sonia's assets worth Rs 9.28 cr, but no car


Rae Bareli, April 2 (PTI): Congress president Sonia Gandhi has assets worth over Rs 9.28 crore though she does not have a vehicle in her name.

She has movable assets worth Rs 2.81 crore and immovable assets worth Rs 6.47 crore, according to the affidavit submitted along with her nomination papers she filed for the Rae Bareli seat today.

Taken with the declarations made by her in the last elections, Gandhi's assets show a six-fold increase. Congress sources said it was only because last time the declaration of value of assets was based on the book value while this time it was based on market value.

Gandhi has given a loan of Rs. nine lakh to her son Rahul and in her income tax returns for 2012-13 she had shown her income of over Rs 14.21 lakh.

Among the movable assets, she has Rs 85,000 in cash, Rs 66 lakh in banks, RS 10 lakh worth bonds and shares worth Rs 1.90 lakh.

Gandhi has mutual funds worth Rs 82.20 lakh, PPF amounting to Rs 42.49 lakh, National Saving Scheme of Rs 2.86 lakh and ornaments worth over Rs 62 lakh.

Among the immovable assets, she has declared an ancestral property in Italy worth Rs 19.90 lakh besides land valued at Rs 4.86 crore in Deramandi village, another land worth Rs 1.40 crore in Sultanpur village, the affidavit said.

Last time while filing her nomination papers from here in 2009, Sonia Gandhi had declared her assets over Rs 1.37 crore.

    1.37 cr to 9.28 cr. Net worth of 7.91 cr increased during the 5 years, which amounts to 577%.

    On an average her income should be 1.58 cr per annum, but her Reported income is Rs 14.21 lakh ( Say approx. P.A)

    I guess the reported income would have been Rs 71.05 lakh (Say approx. for 5 years)

    Forget about the money in Swiss bank of several cores, but What’s the source for the balance of Rs 8.62 Cr?

    Baath kuch hajam nahi ho raha hai

    If BJP comes to power in the next elections, they will bring all black money, which is lying in Swiss banks. They promised the same during earlier elections and did nothing when they came to power..

    For all those who are passing derogatory comments based on assumption please note she is what today not by her choice but by compulsion. She was reluctant to lead Indian National Congress, but she lead it for more than 15 years. She could have very well run away from her responsibilities like Arvind Kejriwal but She did not do so.There was nothing legally that prevented her becoming PM of India, but she declined unlike our FEKU Maharaj who has spent millions on fake publicity and image everything has come to her naturally.
