Chandigarh: Within hours of assuming office, the new BJP government in Haryana Sunday said the land deals of Robert Vadra, son-in-law of Congress president Sonia Gandhi, and other land scams in the state will be probed.

“We are certainly opening those cases. A sitting high court judge will inquire into these,” RamBilasSharma, the senior-most minister in chief minister ManoharLalKhattar’sgovernment, said here.

“(Former chief minister Bhupinder Singh) Hooda’smain problem was that instead of looking after the interests of Haryana, he was safeguarding the interests of Sonia Gandhi,” Sharma said.
