Rahul Gandhi and Gautam Adani
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has once again leveled serious allegations against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Adani Group.

Rahul Gandhi said, “Adani gives funds to Modi ji and in return, Modi ji gives him the national wealth of the country. “Both protect themselves first, but the common Indian has to pay the price.”

This is a very dangerous game of corruption.
Adani gives funds to Modi ji and in return, Modi ji gives him the national wealth of the country. The first thing they both do is protect each other.
But who has to pay the price for this? To you, the common Indian!
When Adani paid for expensive electricity by paying a bribe
—Rahul Gandhi (@RahulGandhi) November 22, 2024
He raised these questions
Expensive Electricity: When Adani strikes a deal to sell expensive electricity by paying a bribe, the general public has to pay for the increased electricity prices.
Stock Market Losses: When Adani’s scams come to light and its shares fall, retail investors suffer huge losses.
Privatization of national assets: When the country’s ports, airports, cement and defense sectors are handed over to Adani, his profits go into the public pocket.
Rahul Gandhi made this call
He appealed to the public to understand this game and said that this corruption will only lead to public defeat. Rahul Gandhi shared his tweet with the hashtag #BJPwithAdani.
Rahul Gandhi has long been raising questions over the alleged nexus between the Adani Group and the Modi government. Recently, international reports and opposition parties have made several serious allegations against the Adani Group, including financial irregularities and handover of national assets into private hands.
Bribery accusations in the United States
Adani Group has been accused of bribery in the United States, so US authorities are investigating whether Adani Group paid bribes to Indian officials to promote its interests in an energy project.
Earlier, in January 2023, American short-selling firm Hindenburg Research had made serious allegations of stock manipulation and accounting fraud against the Adani Group, following which a huge drop in the group’s shares was observed.
Congress will raise the matter in the Parliament session
On the other hand, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge appealed to the central government to take immediate action against Gautam Adani. He has made this demand after the accusations against him in the United States. He said Congress will raise this issue during the next session of Parliament and demand an investigation into the allegations.
