‘Cannot be a mere coincidence’: On Rahul Gandhi’s Modi-Adani charge, BJP drops George Soros | India News – Times of India
BJP IT cell head Amit Malviya slammed Gandhi for speaking the same language as George Soros and accused the Congress leader of launching an attack on India Inc on behalf of the investor.
Malviya told It cannot be a mere coincidence that the Hindenburg Report came out just as Adani raised the issue. 20,000 crore through an FPO in February 2023.”
Malviya also posted an old video of George Soros in which he accused Prime Minister Modi and Adani of being ‘close allies’ with intertwined fates.
“Modi and business tycoon Adani are close allies. Their fates are intertwined. Adani Enterprises tried to raise money in the stock market but failed. Adani is accused of stock manipulation and his shares collapsed like a house of cards. Modi is silent on the subject, but he will have to answer questions from foreign investors and in parliament,” Soros said in the video.
Using the video, Malviya further questioned the timing of the US Justice Department’s observation amid Donald Trump’s impending presidency and Adani planning a $600 million bond issue.
“And it cannot be a coincidence that the US Department of Justice’s comment comes amid new US President Donald Trump’s accusation that the outgoing regime is stacking/misusing the Justice Department, and that Adani has launched a 600-dollar bond issue million dollar plant?” Malviya said.
“In both cases, Congress and Rahul Gandhi led the attack, like submissive slaves of George Soros. What is Rahul Gandhi’s interest in launching an attack on India Inc on behalf of a geriatric investor?” he added.

While addressing a media spokesperson, BJP national spokesperson Sambit Patra said the Congress leader said they are doing the work of the judiciary while talking about the charges against Adani and added, “Where the mother-son duo ( Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi) is out on bail they are doing the work of the judiciary! Half of them are out on bail and they are doing the work of the judiciary!”
The comments came after Gandhi addressed US prosecutors’ allegations that Adani and associates paid $250 million in bribes to Indian officials. He said the businessman had violated both Indian and US law.
The Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha took a jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s rhetoric in the survey ‘ek hain, safe hain’ and said PM Modi did not have ‘the ability to arrest Adani’ as the entire ‘BJP structure was financed by Adani’.

“The allegations made by the US Department of Justice and the US Securities and Exchange Commission against the directors of Adani Green are baseless and denied,” the conglomerate said in a statement, adding that “all appropriate legal action will be taken,” the conglomerate said. declaration. .
The indictment accuses Adani and several subordinates of paying huge sums of more than $250 million in bribes to government officials for lucrative solar energy supply contracts.
