The fear of losing prime property in the commercial heart of the national capital forced the Congress to launch the Internet edition of its newspaper National Herald. Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi on Monday tweeted to greet the relaunch of the National Herald on the web. The building had been leased out to AJL – of which the Gandhis are majority shareholders – for the newspaper business alone. Alarmed at the prospect, the Congress started drawing plans to revive the newspaper to mark the birth anniversary of Jawaharlal Nehru. Last year, during a routine inspection of buildings, the Land and Development Office of the urban development ministry found that there is no newspaper office on the premises.
