Congress said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi should give clarification on both these issues.

Congress has targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi on two issues. The first issue is the recovery of cash worth Rs 351 crore in the Income Tax Department’s raid on the premises of Congress MP Dheeraj Sahu. Congress said that this is India’s biggest economic crime after 1947.

Congress alleged that Dheeraj Sahu’s possession of such a huge amount of cash means that he is involved in illegal money laundering. Congress said that this is proof of the failure of the anti-corruption policies of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government.

The second issue is the alleged collusion of the government with the Adani Group. Congress alleged that Adani Group is being given unfair benefits by the government. Congress said that Adani Group has been given contracts for many important government projects, which have been done without any transparency.

Jairam Ramesh retaliated with his tweet

Prime Minister Narendra Modi had targeted the Congress over the recovery of cash worth more than Rs 350 crore in the Income Tax Department raid at the premises of Congress MP Dheeraj Sahu. He said who needs the “money heist” narrative in India when you have the Congress party. Congress robberies have been famous for 70 years and are still going on.

On this, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said in a tweet that the country wants Prime Minister Modi to tell about the biggest “money heist” after 1947. He said Adani Group siphoned off Rs 17,500 crore from India by increasing the prices of imported coal and power equipment.

Ramesh further said that the Adani Group brought back Rs 20,000 crore to India through offshore shell companies and inflated its stock prices under the watchful eye of SEBI. He said that Adani Group took billions of rupees of loans from banks in its service using the increased stocks.

Ramesh said Adani Group invests money in gifted projects using ED, CBI and IT. He said that Adani Group rose from the very bottom to become the second richest man in the world.

Ramesh said the public pays for this unprecedented increase through increased electricity bills. He said that Prime Minister Modi is desperate to divert attention from the latest revelations related to Chang Chung-Ling and Adani Group. He said that this will not work.
