Leading the Opposition attack over the Adani-Hindenburg issue in Lok Sabha, former Congress president Rahul Gandhi in blistering attack linked Gautam Adani’s meteoric rise to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s coming to power and said “magic” happened after 2014 that propelled the businessman from the 609th to the second spot on the global rich list.
The Congress leader’s remarks drew a sharp response from the treasury benches, with Law Minister Kiren Rijiju asking him not to level “wild allegations” and furnish proof of his claims.
Alleging Liks of Gautam Adan with prime Minister Narendra Modi, Rahul Gandhi quoted by ANI remarked, Earlier PM Modi used to travel in Adani’s aircraft now Adani travels in Modiji’s aircraft. This matter was earlier of Gujarat, then became of India and now has become international. How much money did Adani give to BJP in last 20 yrs & through electoral bonds?
Taking his attack further the Gandhi scion said, In 2022,Chairman of Sri Lanka electricity board informed parliamentary committee in Sri Lanka that he was told by Pres Rajpaksa that he was pressured by PM Modi to give wind power project to Mr Adani. This isn’t India’s foreign policy, it’s policy for Adani’s business.
Targeting PM Modi, Rahul quoted by ANI said, PM Modi goes to Australia and by magic, SBI gives $1 billion loan to Adani. Then he goes to Bangladesh & then the Bangladesh Power development board signs a 25-yrs contract with Adani
Speaker Om Birla disapproved of the Congress leader displaying two pictures of Prime Minister Narendra Modi – one in which he can be seen with Adani inside a plane and the other in which he is getting down from a plane which has an Adani logo on it – to highlight their alleged proximity.
