Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge has called for swift government action against billionaire Gautam Adani, following charges in the US alleging his involvement in a $265 million bribery case.

Kharge accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi's administration of protecting Adani and vowed to address this in the upcoming Parliament session, demanding a thorough investigation into the accusations.

US prosecutors claim that Adani and associates engaged in bribery to gain favorable terms for solar power contracts. The Adani group denies these charges, labeling them as 'baseless.'
