This is what we call a Modi twist!! The king of controversy Lalit Modi is back with a much juicer bang!! At last some respite to BJP. The former IPL chief on Friday took to Twitter to claim that he met Priyanka Gandhi and her husband Robert Vadra in London last year.

“Happy to meet the Gandhi Family in London. I had run into Robert and Priyanka separately in a restaurant – they were with Timmy Sarna. He has my no. They can call me. Will tell them what I feel about them exactly,” Lalit Modi said.

“Will mince no words. Will make no deal. But tell them witch hunt will now make them realize I was. If I remember correctly it was last year and the year before. Doubt either reported it to anyone. They were in power then,” his series of tweets added.

This statement brought out some uncomfortablity in the congress wing. But they recovered early, Congress hit back at the former IPL boss, saying Priyanka Gandhi and Robert Vadra had committed no crime. Talking to reporters at Congress headquarters in New Delhi, Congress leader Randeep Surjewala said, “No crime if Priyanka, Robert Vadra met Lalit Modi in London.”

Surjewala said that the Congress-led UPA government had issued eight Enforcement Directorate (ED) notices to Lalit Modi between 2, August 2010 to 2012 for various offenses, including money laundering. “It is the Modi government  which is shielding absconders like Lalit Modi. Why is the External Affairs Minister and Rajasthan chief minister are helping an absconder?” he asked.
