‘Rahul Gandhi forced Modi to expose…’, Congress hits back at PM's ‘Ambani-Adani’ jibe
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The Congress on Wednesday responded to PM Modi’s “Shehzada getting black money from Adani-Ambani?” jibe at Rahul Gandhi, saying the Wayanad MP has finally forced the Prime Minister to expose corruption by making serious allegations against industrialists Gautam Adani and Mukesh Ambani.
“Narendra Modi has made serious allegations against Gautam Adani and Mukesh Ambani. Adani and Ambani give away black money in bags. Finally Rahul Gandhi forced PM Modi to expose the corruption,” the grand old party wrote in a post on X (formerly Twitter).
The remarks came after Prime Minister Narendra Modi counterattacked Rahul Gandhi’s accusation of crony capitalism, asking “why Shehzada (Congress leader) stopped talking of Ambani and Adani in this election all of sudden?”
“For years, Congress ke shehzade din raat ek mala japte the…’5 industrialists’, ‘Ambani’, ‘Adani’…But since the elections are declared, they have stopped abusing Ambani, Adani…,” he said while addressing an election rally in Telangana’s Warangal today.
“Why? I wish to ask the Shehzadey of Congress, how much black money have they received from Adani, Ambani? How much the Congress party has ‘received’ from those industrialists for the elections?” the Prime Minister asked.
Rahul Gandhi often accuses PM Modi and his administration of prioritising the interests of industrialists over those of marginalized communities.
