Tamil Nadu Congress Committee (TNCC) president K.S. Alagiri on Wednesday said the ruling BJP government at the Centre was engaged in scientific corruption using industrialists and that the tremendous growth of the Adani Group in the past eight years proved it.
In a statement, he said it was after Narendra Modi became the Prime Minister in 2014 that Gautam Adani’s business began flourishing and growing at a rapid pace across several sectors. “In fact, Adani has overtaken Warren Buffet as the fifth richest person in the world. While his assets were valued at $8.9 billion two years back, it has now touched $50.5 billion,” he said.
