Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday lashed out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, accusing him of favouring billionaire industrialist Gautam Adani and targeting him for not conducting a caste census. Mr. Gandhi said Mr. Modi should chant Adani Ji Ki Jai (hail Adani) instead of Bharat Mata Ki Jai.
Addressing election rallies in Bundi and Dausa districts, Mr. Gandhi said the Prime Minister was “working round-the-clock” for Adani. “His policies are aimed at creating two separate Hindustans: one catering to Adani’s interests and the other made up of the poor and downtrodden,” he said.
Mr. Gandhi’s charge was in line with the Congress’s demand for a probe into the Adani Group’s activities to ascertain if it was benefiting from the BJP government’s support.
