NEW DELHI: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday opened his speech on the no-confidence motion in the Lok Sabha by thanking Speaker Om Birla for reinstating his lower house membership. Then, he immediately brought up the issue of Adani.
"Speaker Sir, first of all, I would like to thank you for reinstating me as an MP of the Lok Sabha. When I spoke the last time, perhaps I caused you trouble because I focussed on Adani - maybe your senior leader was pained...That pain might have had an impact on you as well. I apologise to you for that. But I spoke the truth. Today, my friends in BJP need not be scared because my speech today is not on Adani," Rahul said in his opening remark.
Today is the second of the debate on the no-confidence motion moved by the opposition block INDIA against the Modi government.
