NEW DELHI: Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Saturday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of undermining the constitutional principle of equality. He claims the Prime Minister has protected industrialist Gautam Adani despite serious allegations against him in the United States.
“Prime Minister Modi treats Gautam Adani differently from people in India and is not willing to indict him,” Rahul Gandhi said in Kerala.
“Prime Minister Modi says it doesn’t matter whether Adani has been charged and called a criminal in the US; we will not charge him in India,” he added.
He further alleged that the Prime Minister was discriminating against the people of Wayanad by denying them the support they deserve.
Rahul made the remarks at a joint public meeting at Mukkam in Kerala’s Thiruvambadi constituency, where he was accompanied by his sister, Congresswoman Priyanka Gandhi, after her maiden election victory.
The Congress leader paid tribute to the victims of the recent landslides in Wayanad and expressed solidarity with those who lost their loved ones and belongings in the tragedy.
‘Unfortunately we are not in government and we cannot do what a government can do. However, I have urged my sister and AICC general secretary KC Venugopal to ensure that every member of Congress and United Democratic Front (UDF) puts pressure on the Kerala government to help. the victims,” he said.
The joint meeting at Mukkam marked the beginning of a series of receptions planned for Priyanka Gandhi in Kerala. Events will also be held at Karulai in Nilambur, Wandoor and Edavanna in Eranad.
Priyanka Gandhi secured a decisive victory in the Wayanad Lok Sabha bypoll, winning by a margin of 4,10,931 votes – significantly surpassing her brother’s lead during the general elections earlier this year.
