Continuing his revelations on Twitter, former Indian Premier League chairman Lalit Modi on Saturday claimed that Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi and his brother-in-law Robert Vadra were beneficiaries of his hospitality during an IPL match.

While attempting to prove his links with them, Lalit Modi posted on Twitter a couple of his pictures with Rahul Gandhi and Robert Vadra, the son-in-law of Congress president Sonia Gandhi on Twitter.

Modi tweeted: “I hope @OfficeOfRG (office of Rahul Gandhi) informed @INCIndia that he was a beneficiary of my hospitality. He sat in my box.”

The picture, which appears to be from an IPL match, also has Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan, his wife Gauri Khan and actress Deepika Padukone along with others. Modi also asked if they (Rahul Gandhi and Vadra) had declared it to the Congress leadership.

A few days back, Lalit had tweeted that Varun Gandhi had met him in London and offered to settle everything with Sonia Gandhi.

He had also claimed that he had met Priyanka Gandhi and Robert Vadra in a restaurant in London.

Moments after Lalit Modi’s series of tweets, Congress hit back, accusing him of helping the Bharatiya Janata Party. “Chhota Modi is trying to help Bada Modi by tweeting images to help the ruling party,” senior Congress leader Ajay Maken said.
