New Delhi, Apr 27 (PTI) Priyanka Gandhi Vadra today said her finances had nothing to do with those of her husband Robert Vadras or his company Skylight Hospitality which is under Haryana governments scanner over its land deals with realty major DLF.

The statement mentioned about Priyanka Gandhi having bought 5 acres of agricultural land in village Amipur in Faridabad district for Rs 15 lakh on April 28, 2006, six years prior to the purported land deal involving Skylight Hospitality.

The earlier owner was made the offer to allow him exercise the right of first refusal.
