Overview
- Citing election affidavits, Congress says Anamika Gautam’s declared wealth rose from about Rs 50 lakh in 2009 to roughly Rs 31.32 crore in 2024.
- The party points to loans totaling about Rs 8.28 crore from four named individuals, allegedly unsecured and recorded in the disclosures.
- One listed lender, Abhishek Jha, publicly denies giving the Rs 1.20 crore loan attributed to him.
- Congress also highlights a jump in her annual income from around Rs 4 lakh in FY2014 to Rs 2.16 crore in FY2018, questioning consistency with assets.
- A complaint filed with the Lokpal on May 24 led to a July 24 directive seeking Dubey’s reply within four weeks, with no clarity on any response as Dubey posted a cryptic note and neither the BJP nor Gautam issued a detailed rebuttal.
