Nafisa Ali richer than Sonia, Rahul put together

Nafisa Ali, the Samajwadi Party's nominee for the Lucknow seat, is wealthier than Sonia Gandhi and her MP son Rahul Gandhi put together, according to her affidavit filed yesterday along with the nomination papers.

As per the affidavit, Nafisa Ali and her husband, an ex-army colonel, together own assets of about Rs 5 crore, as against Sonia and Rahul's combined worth of less than Rs 4 crore.

However, like the mother-son duo, the former actress and social activist does not own a vehicle, though her husband owns three cars worth about Rs 20 lakh.

While Nafisa and her husband hold Rs 1.12 lakh in cash, they have about Rs 64 lakh in fixed deposits and about Rs 80 lakh in shares.
