Earlier today, Modi said that he wonders why Rahul Gandhi has stopped taking the names of Gautam Adani and Mukesh Ambani since the declaration of the Lok Sabha. Hours after Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that he wonders why the Congress leader Rahul Gandhi stopped “abusing” industrialists Gautam Adani and Mukesh Ambani since elections were declared, the party’s national general secretary Priyanka Gandhi reacted to the remark, saying her brother speaks about them daily. In an election rally in Rae Bareli, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra also accused the Modi government of waiving loans worth ₹16 lakh crore for billionaires when farmers in Uttar Pradesh were dying due to suicide. “Today, Narendra Modi said that Rahul Gandhi is not taking Adani’s name. The truth is this- Rahul Gandhi talks about Adani every day, he puts the truth about Adani in front of you everyday and exposes it,” Priyanka Gandhi said. The Congress leader further added that Rahul Gandhi tells the public every day about the “nexus” between the Prime Minister and big industrialists. “Rahul Gandhi tells you daily that Narendra Modi has a nexus with big industrialists. Narendra Modi waived off ₹16 lakh crore of his friends but did not waive off a single rupee of the farmers. Narendra Modi should answer this,” she said. In a counterattack against Rahul Gandhi’s over his ‘crony capitalism’ charge at his government, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said that he wonders why Rahul Gandhi has stopped taking the names of industrialists Gautam Adani and Mukesh Ambani since the declaration of the Lok Sabha elections. He also questioned if “tempo loads of notes (money)” has reached the Congress.
