    Rahul Gandhi's sharp attack on PM Modi, alleges that he's protecting Adani

    Rahul Gandhi has called for the arrest of Gautam Adani after he was charged in the US over an alleged bribery scheme. Speaking at a press conference, the leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha said that it is clear from the US investigation that Adani has violated both Indian and American laws. Gandhi questioned why Adani, despite being indicted in the US, is still free in India. He pointed out that while many Chief Ministers have been arrested for corruption, Adani, who is accused of a Rs 2000 crore scam and more, remains untouched. Gandhi claimed this proves Prime Minister Modi is protecting Adani and is involved in corruption with him.
