Love of 140 Crore Indians is my Protective Shield, Says PM Modi

PM Modi’s Speech in Parliament

PM Narendra Modi is now replying to the allegations made by Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday against the BJP government at the Centre over the Hindenburg report on the Adani Group. During his speech, the Congress Wayanad MP alleged that the meteoric rise in Gautam Adani’s fortunes happened after the BJP came to power in 2014 as he rose in the global rich list from the 609th to the second spot eventually.

The Budget Session of Parliament has been stormy so far over the serious allegations made by the US short-seller Hindenburg Research against the Adani Group. PM Modi is now replying to the debate on the Motion of Thanks to President Droupadi Murmu’s address in the Lok Sabha. His address comes a day after senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi spoke on the Motion of Thanks to President Murmu, during which he made a scathing attack on PM Modi and even questioned the Centre’s role in the dramatic rise of industrialist Gautam Adani’s wealth.

The Congress-led Opposition has been demanding an inquiry into the allegations levelled by the Hindenburg Research firm against the Adani Group. The opposition parties have alleged that the sharp decline in stocks of the Adani Group is a ‘mega scam’ that involves common people’s money as public sector LIC and SBI have invested in them and have questioned the government on steps taken by it.
