Anurag Thakur has accused Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi of manipulating legal structures to obtain properties valued at ₹2,000 crore without any direct investment. The focal point of the claim is Young Indian Pvt Ltd’s acquisition of Associated Journals Limited—a company that owns prized real estate across India.
Thakur contends that the Gandhis leveraged their political and organizational control to route assets originally belonging to a public trust into a private firm. He argues that this kind of corporate structuring raises serious questions about conflict of interest, ethical governance, and misuse of public sentiment.
He pointed out that many of AJL’s properties were originally allotted to promote public interest journalism. Their potential reclassification as private property under Young Indian’s ownership, according to Thakur, is a betrayal of the original mission.
Congress has responded sharply, calling the allegations baseless and politically motivated. They have challenged the BJP to stop using central agencies for political vendetta, adding that the matter is being adjudicated in court and the outcome will speak for itself.
Legal experts say that the case, though complex, hinges on whether there was intent to defraud or simply poor transparency in execution. Either way, the political damage could be significant if public perception tilts toward misuse.
