Playing on the G-20 slogan ‘One Earth, One Family, One Future’, the Congress said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi instead believes in “One Man, One Government, One Business Group” and claimed that he has facilitated the creation of “Modi-made Monopolies” for his close friend and industrialist Gautam Adani.
Recalling PM Modi’s past statements at the G-20 summits, in a statement here, Congress General Secretary (Communication) Jairam Ramesh said, “The PM’s brazenness would be laughable if his complicity in high-level corruption and economic offences were not so serious. The PM has not simply facilitated the creation of Modi-made Monopolies (3M) for his close friends the Adanis in critical sectors like ports, airports, power and roads using all the tools at his disposal. He has systematically blocked all investigations into Adani’s wrongdoing by agencies as varied as SEBI, CBI, ED, the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) and the Serious Fraud Investigation Office, ensuring that tax havens are safe for his close friends and that they continue to enjoy the protection of excessive banking secrecy and complex international regulations.”
