Rahul Gandhi Vs Government: Congress Leader Slams PM Modi, Gautam Adani In Parliament

Recently, Congress leader, Rahul completed the 3,500 Km Bharat Jodo Yatra. He has accused the prime minister, Narendra Modi of helping Gautam Adani’s business empire across sectors, prompting emphatic rebuttals from the ruling BJP, which called his allegations wild and reckless.

While alleging the businessman, Gautam Adami that he had gained contracts in that PM Modi had visited, Gandhi said in Lok Sabha said, “From Tamil Nadu, Kerala to Himachal Pradesh, we have been listening one name everywhere ‘Adani’. Across the entire country, it’s just ‘Adani’, ‘Adani’, ‘Adani’…Adani ji never fails in any business he ventures into – solar energy, wind energy. During my yatra, people asked me how Adani attained such success in so many sectors, and what is his relationship with the Prime Minister.”

“Real magic started”: Rahul

Further, he said, “People asked me how Adani’s net worth increased from $ 8 billion to 140 billion between 2014 and 2022.”

Rahul has also said that the businessman went from “600th to second rank” when the BJP came to power in 2014 and the “real magic started.”

Also, he has alleged that rules were changed so the Adani group could bag six airport contracts.

Law Minister Kiren Rijiju’s response to Rahul Gandhi

Ahead of Rahul’s allegations, Law Minister Kiren Rijiju slammed the Congress leader, saying, “Do not level wild allegations, give proof.”

“You are now a senior MP. You should speak with responsibility. We expect you to be serious in parliament. You can say whatever you want outside,” the minister added.

BJP MPs shouted that privatization began when Congress was in power and handed airport contracts to companies like GVK, which were not experienced in the business. Moreover, the BJP leaders have remarked that Rahul Gandhi should talk about “Ashok Gehlot-Adani ties” – referring to Mr Adani pledging ₹ 65,000 crores at an “Invest Rajasthan Summit” in the Congress-ruled state last year.

“The whole ecosystem of the Congress is based on the twin corrupt pillars of deals and commissions,” said BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad, “reminding” Rahul Gandhi that he, his mother Sonia Gandhi and his brother-in-law Robert Vadra are out on bail.
