The BJP on Saturday cited the rise in Congress president Rahul Gandhi’s income between 2004 and 2014 to question its source, claiming he had no ostensible source of income. There was no immediate response from the Congress. BJP leader and Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad told the media that Mr. Gandhi’s income had risen from over ₹55 lakh in 2004 to ₹9 crore in 2014 as per his election affidavits, and asked how can a mere MP witness such a jump in income.
