It was among several issues in which he defended himself against the opposition's attack while questioning if the BJP will support a joint parliamentary committee (JPC) against Adani.
"Adani did not come to meet me. I have not met Adani either," Stalin said responding to a question raised in the assembly by GK Mani, a leader of NDA ally, the Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK).
He further said: "Electricity minister Senthil Balaji has already explained in a detailed manner about all the false news on Adani's connection with Tamil Nadu. He is not here today so I am standing up and giving you a clarification. INDIA bloc has asked for a JPC probe on the charges against Adani. My question to you PMK and BJP is, are you prepared to support us for a JPC?"
This comes in the wake of the billionaire industrialist being indicted by a US court for bribery of Indian government officials in various states including Tamil Nadu. Balaji has responded twice on the issue stating that DMK government has not signed any direct agreements with Adani but only with the Solar Power Corporation India (SECI) as directed by the Union ministry of new and renewable energy.
