The opposition hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday for not responding to allegations related to industrialist Gautam Adani, which they termed “the elephant in the room”, with former Congress chief Rahul Gandhi accusing Modi of “protecting” the billionaire.
The opposition’s attack came after Modi said the trust reposed in him by crores of people is his protective shield, which cannot be breached by abuse and allegations from his detractors.
Replying to the debate on the Motion of Thanks on the President’s Address in the Lok Sabha, the prime minister said people know that he has come to their help in times of crisis and asked the opposition parties how would these same people agree with their abuses and allegations.
PM didn’t answer our question on Adani issue yesterday. Modi ji always speaks diverting from the real issue. We raised questions on how Adani become a millionaire and how such lefty loans were given to him, but non were answered: Mallikarjun Kharge, Congress Pres & LoP Rajya Sabha
Yesterday the country was expecting an answer from the PM on the Adani issue. Why are they afraid of the truth. If govt doesn’t want to hide anything then why they are running away from JPC… We are expecting an answer from PM in Rajya Sabha today: KC Venugopal, Congress MP
