Saying that he was capable of withstanding pressures both political and otherwise because of the strong support of his family, businessman Robert Vadra, son-in-law of Congress President Sonia Gandhi said to ANI, ‘ I am born and brought up here, would never leave my country, no pressure, even if I am humiliated. No matter what the government says, I have the ability to sustain and to absorb. I have a very strong and good family which gives me strength.’

In an exclusive interview to ANI, Vadra who has often played a secondary role to his wife in the social and political life said, ‘I don’t need my wife Priyanka to enhance my life, I have enough, I have always had enough. My father gave me enough. I have been educated enough to sustain in all types of situations.’

When asked whether he would take the plunge into active politics, Vadra said, ‘I would not say never, let’s see what future has in store for me.’

Robert Vadra has campaigned for his brother-in-law Rahul Gandhi and his mother-in-law Sonia Gandhi in Uttar Pradesh but has never made campaign speeches or taken part in political meetings.

When asked whether he planned to change that strategy, Vadra replied, ‘When people will call for me, when they think I can make some change, then only will I think of joining politics. I understand my responsibilities. I know with which family I am associated, what they have done for generations. I have to make sure that I respect it.’

Asserting that competition in all spheres of life is getting rigorous, businessman Robert Vadra, son-in-law of Congress president Sonia Gandhi, on Thursday told ANI in an exclusive interview he has instructed his children that nothing less than 90 percent marks will work if they want to succeed in life.

In an exclusive interview to ANI, Vadra said that in his times he was a good student, but added today one needs a lot to succeed.

‘I was a fine student, but at that time 60-70 percent was enough. Today, less than 90 percent does not matter. I have told my children that nothing less than 90 percent will do,’ said Vadra.

Vadra further said that he was active in sports during his school days while stating that this has helped him cope up with the challenges in his life.
