Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday demanded to know why the Congress, and its "shehzada" his preferred moniker to describe Congress leader Rahul Gandhi had stopped the raising "Ambani-Adani" issue, which they had been harping on about for five years. Had the "struck a deal," he wondered.
The Congress responded by " claiming the PM's comments betrayed his nervousness that he was losing the election. Gandhi, the party said, had mentioned (Gautam) Adani 103 times and (Mukesh) Ambani more than 30 times in his speeches since April 3, 2024. It pointed out that even on Tuesday, at a campaign rally in Jharkhand, Gandhi said the media's attention was focused on Ambani, Adani and Modi, but not the poor.
When contacted by Business Standard, representatives of Ambani's Reliance Industries Ltd and the Adani group were not available to comment on the latest war of words between Modi and Gandhi.
After the PM's comments, made at a rally in Telangana, Gandhi dared Modi to order a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) or
Enforcement Directorate (ED) probe into whether the two businessmen - Adani and Ambani - had sent his party "money in a tempo".
