New Delhi: On Monday, the Congress raised new concerns about Vinod Adani's alleged web of shell companies involved in "opaque" financial transactions and claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had his "drumbeaters" get Parliament adjourned to prevent the demand for a JPC investigation into the Adani issue from being brought up.
Jairam Ramesh, the general secretary of the Indian opposition party Congress, said that new information disproves Adani Group's "laughable fiction" that Vinod Adani, the elder brother of conglomerate chairperson Gautam Adani, is not involved in group administration or decision-making.
The opposition has continued its attacks on the administration for weeks after Adani Group stocks fell on the bourses as a result of claims of illegal activities and share-price manipulation made by US-based short seller Hindenburg Research.—Inputs from Agencies
