Narendra Modi, Gautam Adani are one, says Rahul; compares Adani Group to East India Company

The former Congress chief accused the BJP of “cowardice” with regard to the External Affairs Minister’s statement that China was a big economy and it was common sense not to pick a fight with it.

Narendra Modi, Gautam Adani are one, says Rahul; compares Adani Group to East India Company

The Central government led by Narendra Modi is handing over the country’s wealth to the Adani Group, in the same way that the British East India Company had taken it away from India, former Congress president Rahul Gandhi said while addressing his party’s 85th plenary session on Sunday.

Warning that ‘history is repeating itself’, Mr. Gandhi said that “Modi ji and Adani ji are one” and that was why the Opposition was not allowed to ask questions about business tycoon Gautam Adani in Parliament. He then asserted that he would continue to ask question about Mr. Adani until the truth came out.

The former Congress chief also urged the party leadership to formulate a new plan to carry forward the “ tapasya (penance)“ undertaken through the Bharat Jodo Yatra, indicating that another yatra could be on the cards, along the east-west route this time.
