BJP Counters Rahul's Volley: Adani Controversy Heats Up

The BJP criticized Rahul Gandhi's accusations against PM Modi over Gautam Adani's alleged bribery and fraud. The BJP stated that none of the states mentioned in the US indictment were under BJP rule. The party highlighted past Congress investments with Adani to counter Gandhi's corruption claims.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) sharply rebuked Rahul Gandhi's recent remarks about Prime Minister Narendra Modi concerning an indictment involving Gautam Adani and accusations of bribery and fraud. Allegations surfaced through US prosecutors over Adani's purported misconduct, and the BJP was quick to deflect these accusations.

At a press conference, BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra dismissed the allegations against the Adani group as a matter for the company to defend. He pointed out that none of the states implicated in the American legal proceedings were under BJP governance.

Patra criticized Gandhi's claims, citing significant investments by Adani in Congress-ruled states and noting that the Supreme Court had dismissed similar allegations in the past. The BJP argued that Gandhi's criticism aimed to tarnish Modi's image, questioning why Congress worked with Adani if he is deemed corrupt.
