Hours after Prime Minister Narendra Modi on May 8 asked why Congress leader Rahul Gandhi had stopped raising the “Adani-Ambani issue” and if a deal had been struck, the Congress hit back, claiming that the tide of the election had turned and that had forced the Prime Minister to target his “friends”.
Congress general secretary (communication) Jairam Ramesh, in a post on social media platform X, said that after the elections had begun, Mr. Gandhi had mentioned “Adani 103 times and Ambani more than 30 times in his speeches”.
Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, also in a post on X, said Mr. Modi’s chair was “shaking” after three phases of elections.
