Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra's husband Robert Vadra on Tuesday alleged that the BJP was behind Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh and AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal being out of jail to campaign in the Haryana polls with an aim of denting the Congress' chances in the state.
Vadra also hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP top brass for allegedly "using" his name in a "derogatory manner."
"When they release Baba Ram Rahim for 20 days before the elections who has charges of murder, and rape, and you (BJP) release him to campaign... I would say having Kejriwal ji come out of the prison just in time so that he can campaign in Haryana, I think these are premeditated thoughts of the BJP," Vadra said.
The BJP thinks that these people can dent the Congress's chances of winning in Haryana, he said.
Ram Rahim has sought a 20-day parole ahead of the October 5 Haryana Assembly polls.
Also, Kejriwal, who was released from Tihar Jail following his bail in the excise policy case by the Supreme Court, has been campaigning across Haryana.
Vadra, a businessman by profession, said he felt that his company could have provided jobs in Haryana.
"I would have given employment in Haryana but this (BJP) government made sure that all my associates were intimidated that they moved away, it was difficult for me to work, financially they tried to destroy me," he said.
Vadra exuded confidence that people in Haryana will vote for the Congress which would get a "very large majority" in the polls.
Voting in Haryana will take place on October 5 while the results will be out on October 8.
