New Delhi: Ever since the Hindenburg report came out, Adani group companies have become the topic of discussion across the country. From economic concerns, it has become a political challenge for the central government. The fact that Prime Minister Modi and Adani are both Gujaratis and that Rahul Gandhi has been accusing Modi of working with Adani for the benefit of Adani has intensified the debate on the latest report. The opposition parties are demanding that a joint parliamentary committee should be set up to investigate the ‘Adani Scam(?)’ and the investigation should be conducted under the supervision of the Supreme Court. They insisted that Prime Minister Narendra Modi should break his silence on this episode and respond in Parliament. Recently, the Prime Minister while speaking on the motion of thanks for the President’s speech mentioned scams.
At a time when the opposition is demanding to talk about the ‘Adani Scam(?)’ in the Parliament, Prime Minister Modi, while addressing the Lok Sabha today, singled out the scams that took place during the Congress regime.
