Citing a report by the UK newspaper ‘Financial Times’, Rahul Gandhi claimed that Adani Group raised excessive bills for the import of coal, which affected the electricity rates in the country. Due to this, consumers had to pay higher electricity bills. At the same time, in some Congress ruled states, subsidies had to be given to families from poorer sections.
Rahul Gandhi said, “We are giving subsidy on electricity bill in Karnataka. Going to do this in Madhya Pradesh also. Now we know who is the reason for this.” He also demanded Prime Minister Narendra Modi to order an investigation into this matter.
BJP IT Cell chief Amit Malviya retaliated on this statement of Rahul Gandhi. Malviya wrote on social media platform ‘If they have to, then they should ensure that Congress governments work against Adani Group and not in support of it. Do what they say.”
After doing an entire press conference, Rahul Gandhi still thinks, it is just an ‘interesting’ idea to initiate probe, into what he claimed was over invoicing, leading to rise in power tariff….

Adani Group also has big investments in Congress ruled states like Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan. The Karnataka government also expects investment from Adani Group which is considered necessary in infrastructure.
Earlier in June, Karnataka Industries Minister MB Patil had said in an interview to a private news channel that Adani Group is welcome to invest in the state. This group will be given time to bring investment proposal.
Also, Amit Malviya has posted another video, in which a journalist can be seen asking Rahul Gandhi whether Congress-ruled states will start an investigation into alleged over-billing. In response, Rahul Gandhi said, “This is a good idea.”
Along with this video, Malviya has written, “After the entire press conference, Rahul Gandhi still thinks that starting the investigation is just a ‘good idea’, in which he has claimed that the reason behind the increase in electricity prices is over-billing.” Is.”

Let us tell you, last week Adani Group rejected the recent report of ‘Financial Times’ and its associates and accused ‘Financial Times’ of running a campaign to malign their reputation and image. Issuing a statement, the group said, “The ‘Financial Times’ and its associates are again trying to make an old and baseless allegation to defame the Adani Group… The articles of the ‘Financial Times’ are being published by vested interests in the guise of public interest.
