Attacking Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his allegations that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has gone “silent” in his criticism of top industrialists “Adani-Ambani” as they have bribed the Opposition, the Congress asked why the PM has not used investigative agencies against them if he has actionable evidence.
In a statement, Congress communications chief Jairam Ramesh said that Mr. Modi has “trapped himself” with his remarks and will find it difficult to “extricate himself”.
Mr. Ramesh said that the Prime Minister’s accusation — that ‘Adani and Ambani’ had supplied the Opposition with bags of cash, transported in ‘Tempo’ vehicles, describing the alleged cash as ‘chori ka maal (loot)‘ — is an unexpected attack on India’s ‘top wealth creators’ that raises several questions.
