During an August 31 press conference in Mumbai, the Congress party, led by Jairam Ramesh, accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of remaining silent in response to Congress's inquiries concerning Gautam Adani. Ramesh continued, asserting that the party is unaware of the ownership of Rs 20,000 crore within Gautam Adani's shell companies. He highlighted that Rahul Gandhi had faced disqualification from Parliament for raising such questions against Prime Minister Modi. Ramesh emphasized that between January 28 and March 28, the Congress party directed 100 questions about Adani to PM Modi. He underscored that the issue goes beyond Adani to a "MODANI" issue, focusing on the relationship between PM Modi and Adani, and noted that the real concern lies in this connection.
