Rahul Gandhi, leader of the Congress, was asked to submit his response on Sunday by the Lok Sabha Secretariat after two BJP leaders, Nishikant Dubey and Prahlad Joshi, filed a breach of privilege report against him for his comments against Prime Minister Narendra Modi. By Wednesday, he was expected to respond.
In light of the Hindenburg Research report, complaints were raised about Rahul Gandhi’s February 7 parliamentary address in which he claimed that PM Modi was responsible for Gautam Adani’s success as owner of the Adani Group. He showed a picture of the multimillionaire and the Prime Minister sitting together on a private plane in the Lok Sabha to build a rapport between them.
He added that during his Bharat Jodo Yatra travel across the nation, the general public asked him about Adani’s unexpected ascent to success and the motivations behind his diversification into a number of industries.
Joshi, who also serves as the Union’s minister for parliamentary affairs, had complained in a letter to the Lok Sabha Speaker that Rahul Gandhi had misled the House by making accusations without providing any relevant evidence. He went on to lay out the rules, noting that an MP must give notice before making any accusations against another parliamentarian.
“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.
In response to Gandhi’s accusations, Nishikant Dubey asserted that Congress had favoured Tata, Birla, and Ambani. Gandhi addressed Adani in parts of his speech that were afterwards deleted, which caused a commotion in the political backrooms.
Congress MP Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury wrote a letter to Speaker Om Birla urging to revisit his decision to expunge Rahul Gandhi’s speech.
“The allegation was not raised by the Congress party but by an internationally renowned organisation Hindenburg research paper. According to their reports, there has been fraud and there have been great financial irregularities,” he said earlier.
