measuring over 770 hectares in Bikaner, months after the Ashok Gehlot government assumed power in the state in 2008. However, the land price appreciated 40 times in three years, after the government announced solar projects under the Jawahar Lal Nehru National Solar Mission, and other projects in the region. Vadra’s companies sold off part of land to a Spanish solar power company. Bought at the rate of around Rs 40,000/ bigha, but sold at Rs 8 lakh/bigha. Did Vadra was given information about the future projects? What was the source of Vadra’s funds to buy such huge tracts of lands? No answer to these questions. Interestingly, the brother of Haryana Congress leader Lalit Nagar is the common link between Vadra’s land deals in
Haryana and Rajasthan. He has executed all lands deals on behalf of Vadra and his firms.
