Charges against Adani: BJP slams Cong, questions timing of development

The BJP on Thursday targeted the Congress over its attack on the central government after US prosecutors charged industrialist Gautam Advani with bribery and fraud, saying all the states mentioned in the indictment were at that time ruled by opposition parties.

BJP's IT department head Amit Malviya also questioned the timing of the development, as it came just before the start of Parliament session and Donald Trump's impending presidency.

This raises several questions, he said. "That the Congress is willing to be a prop in the hands of George Soros and his cabal speaks volumes," Malviya said on X in reply to Congress leader Jairam Ramesh's claim that the indictment vindicates the Congress's demand for a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) investigation into the various "Modani scams".
