Vadra is currently facing continuous quizzing from the Central Probing Agency in connection with a money laundering case.
Vadra’s latest remarks came days after he in his Facebook post on February 24 hinted towards joining politics. Robert in a Facebook post on February 24 said, “All these years of experience and learning cannot be just wasted and should be put to better use…Once all these accusations and allegations are over, I feel I should dedicate a larger role in serving the people.‘
He further said, ‘The years and months that I spent campaigning and working in different parts of the country, but mainly in UP, gave me a feeling to do more for the people and make smaller changes possible by me”.
