He further termed the firm, PMC Projects (India) Private Limited, as “Pradhan Mantri Chinese” Projects and wrote, “PMC Projects – ‘Pradhan Mantri Chinese’ Projects? Why are India’s critical ports, airstrips, railway tracks and electricity lines being built & controlled by a Chinese company?”
His remarks are the latest in the series allegations the Congress and its leader have laid on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the wake of a report by Hindenburg Research that alleged fraud and stock manipulation by the Adani Group.
The row has triggered a massive political slugfest between ruling BJP and the opposition parties, that led to several protests and repeated ruckus in the Parliament. The Opposition has also demand a probe by a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) into the Adani Group.
It is to be noted that Rahul Gandhi was disqualified as a Lok Sabha MP after he was sentenced to two years in prison by a Surat court in a 2019 criminal defamation case. This case was registered against Rahul Gandhi's comment on Modi surname. However, he has since obtained bail in the case.
The Surat district and sessions court will hear Rahul Gandhi's appeal against the conviction on April 13. On May 3, it will hear the plea on his sentencing.
