Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi used to travel in businessman Gautam Adani’s aircraft but now Adani travels in Modiji’s aircraft. Rahul Gandhi alleged that Adani gave money to BJP through electoral bonds. The Wayanad MP questioned, “How much money did Adani give to BJP in the last 20 years and through electoral bonds?”
Rahul Gandhi has constantly questioned the Modi-Adani links since the Hindenburg Research report came to light. The Congress leader said in the parliament on Tuesday: “This matter was earlier of Gujarat, then became of India and now has become international.”
The Congress MP also said, “Gautam Adani ranked 609 on the global rich list in 2014. And then he became the world’s second richest (in 2022). I wonder if any miracle occurred in his favour?”
“Rules changed in favour of Adani Group, and that’s how Adani got 6 airports including India’s most profitable – Mumbai Airport. Hijacked by GVK using agencies. Now the same formula is being used in defence also. The Hinderburg Report refers to shell companies. It’s the govt’s responsibility to find out whose shell companies are these,” Rahul Gandhi said in the Lok Sabha.
Meanwhile, BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad slammed Rahul Gandhi over his “Modi-Adani links” remark. Ravi Shankar Prasad said, “These are baseless claims, out of frustration. There are Adani projects in Congress-ruled states as well.”
