Heard only one businessman’s name during the foot march from Kanyakumari to Kashmir, ADANI…ADANI…: Rahul Gandhi
Senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday contested the relationship between billionaire Gautam Adani and Prime Minister Narendra Modi while showing a photograph of the two in Lok Sabha. Speaking on a motion of thanks to the President’s address, Rahul Gandhi said he heard only one businessman’s name during his foot march from Kanyakumari to Kashmir – Gautam Adani.
“From Tamil Nadu, Kerala to Himachal Pradesh we have been listening to one name everywhere ‘Adani’. Across the entire country, it’s just ‘Adani’, ‘Adani’, ‘Adani’…people used to ask me that Adani enters any business and never fails,” Rahul said in Lok Sabha.
“Relationship began many years ago when Narendra Modi was Gujarat CM…one man stood shoulder to shoulder with PM Modi, he was loyal to PM and helped Mr Modi to construct idea of a Resurgent Gujarat. Real magic began when PM Modi reached Delhi in 2014,” Gandhi said.
“This rule was changed and Adani was given six airports. After that India’s most profitable airport ‘Mumbai Airpot’ was hijacked from GVK using agencies like CBI, ED and was given to Adani by government of India,” he added.
