Change of regimes in Rajasthan, Haryana forces Robert Vadra to sell his companies

The four companies which were sold by Vadra are Lifline Agrotech Private Limited, Righline Agriculture Private Limited, Greenwave Agro Private Limited and Prime Time Agro Private Limited.

According to reports, Vadra may close his two other companies--Future Infra Agro Limited and Best Seasons Private Limited-- soon. All the closed companies were active in two states--Rajasthan and Haryana-- under Congress rule.  Vadra was the Managing Director of all the companies which were involved in the business of agriculture-based products.

In Rajasthan, BJP under the leadership of Vasundhara Raje has ousted Ashok Gehlot government in May this year while in Haryana the saffron party has formed the government recently for the first time by replacing Bhupinder Singh Hooda-led Congress government.

Vadra has opened 12 companies for business in real sector in Rajasthan and Haryana in 2012. In Haryana the government has initiated enquiry against deal finalised by Vadra's companies in the state.

Vadra is reported to have started selling his companies soon after the swearing-in of Narendra Modi as the Prime Minister of the country. Besides companies, Vadra, the husband of Priyanka Gandhi, has also started selling his lands in Haryana.
