“I stand by my family,” Priyanka Gandhi told reporters.

Meanwhile, politicos reacted to Vadra’s questioning.

“Gone are days where he possessed only one property in London. Now it is eight properties, each costlier than the other… One is worth 1.89 million pounds (about Rs. 17 crore),” BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra said.

“It is an attempt to not allow opposition parties to unite hence they are serving ED notices to everyone and anyone. But all opposition parties are united,” West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee said.
