On February 15, Rahul Gandhi will provide his response over his “misleading, derogatory, unparliamentary and incriminatory statements” against Prime Minister Narendra Modi in connection with the ongoing Gautam Adani controversy.
The Lok Sabha Secretariat earlier asked the Congress leader’s response to the breach of privilege motion that had been issued against him by BJP MP Nishikant Dubey and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi.
Rahul Gandhi received the message on February 10 from the Privileges and Ethics Branch of the Lok Sabha Secretariat. He was asked to submit his response by February 15 so that the Lok Sabha Speaker could take it into consideration.
In his speech to the Lok Sabha on February 7, Rahul Gandhi made a number of accusations against the Narendra Modi administration about the Hindenburg-Adani dispute.
Gandhi claimed that people questioned him about Adani’s quick ascent to prominence and the motivations behind his growth into numerous areas as he travelled the nation on the Bharat Jodo Yatra.
“The youth asked us that Adani’s business is now in eight to ten sectors and how his net worth reached $140 billion from $8 billion between 2014 and 2022,” he said.
Gandhi’s accusations were refuted by Dubey. The BJP MP charged that Congress had favoured Tata, Birla and Ambani.
