Rahul Gandhi Accuses PM Modi of Trade Deal 'Compromise' for Adani

Rahul Gandhi criticizes Prime Minister Modi for reportedly trading Indo-US relations to secure businessman Gautam Adani's lawsuit settlement. Allegations suggest a bribery scandal facilitated Adani's solar project in India. Congress claims a compromised trade deal and halted 'Operation Sindoor' show Modi's concessions to Trump administration's influence.

In a sharp political attack, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of compromising India's trade negotiations with the US to benefit billionaire Gautam Adani. Gandhi, voicing his concern on platform X, claimed Modi struck a deal to ensure legal leniency for Adani amid bribery allegations.

The accusations arose after reports indicated that the US government had agreed to settle a lawsuit involving Adani. The lawsuit accused Adani of misleading investors by hiding a bribery scheme tied to his solar energy project in India, as per recent court filings.

Congress representative Jairam Ramesh suggested that Modi's seemingly imbalanced Indo-US trade agreement and the abrupt cessation of 'Operation Sindoor' stemmed from pressures by the Trump administration. In the lawsuit initiated in 2024, Adani Group purportedly bribed Indian officials to obtain favorable solar contract terms.
