The United States accused India’s billionaire businessman Gautam Adani of bribery and fraud, claiming he paid a $265 million bribe to secure a contract. Responding to the allegations, Congress MP Rahul Gandhi demanded Adani’s immediate arrest.
“Why does Adani continue to roam free in this country?” Rahul asked. Authorities arrested a Chief Minister, yet allowed Adani, who committed ₹2,000 crore in corruption and possibly other scams, to move around freely. We keep raising this issue,” he emphasized.
During a press conference, Rahul Gandhi directly accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of protecting Adani. He challenged Modi’s slogan, ‘Hum hai to feeling safe,’ arguing it signifies safety only for Modi and Adani. Rahul pointed out the injustice, stating that while authorities arrested a Chief Minister for a ₹10-15 crore scam, Adani evaded accountability for a ₹2,000 crore fraud with the Prime Minister’s support.
Rahul demanded immediate action, calling for Adani’s arrest and the removal of SEBI Chief Madhabi Puri Buch to ensure a proper investigation.
