The party also questioned the "silence" of Congress Chief Sonia Gandhi and vice-president Rahul Gandhi on the transactions.
BJP spokesperson Nirmala Sitharaman said that the silence of top Congress leaders added to suspicions that the "family" was involved in the land deals.
Former BJP chief Nitin Gadkari also said that the UPA government should set up a judicial probe into Vadra's dealings or Sonia should take legal action against those who are claiming that his son-in-law used the Congress government for his alleged shady deals.
Sitharaman added, "It is not an issue of vendetta politics. It is more an issue of an electoral promise given by Raje that she will definitely look into all the malpractices of the Gehlot government and Vadra is one of these ... once the model code is lifted ... law will take its due course."
Congress retaliated saying the saffron party had got "nervous" because of Priyanka Gandhi's effective campaign. "It is very clear BJP is panicking due to Priyanka Gandhi's campaign in Rae Bareli and Amethi. Her campaign is resonating across the country," party spokesman Randeep Surjewala said, describing the information in a CD and booklet released by BJP as "trash allegations made by an elementary school kid".
"Till date, we don't have the Congress chief talking about it nor has the vice-president, who had said he will bring in great reformatory changes in the party," Sitharaman said.
