Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Sunday stated that he will file a defamation case towards Rahul Gandhi over his ‘Adani’ tweet.
“Whatever Rahul Gandhi has tweeted is a defamatory tweet, once PM Modi goes back from Assam there will be a defamatory case filed against him after April 14th… I am still waiting for the invitation from Arvind Kejriwal,” Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma stated.
Rahul Gandhi took a swipe at some leaders who’ve stop the Congress in recent times and a few of whom have joined the BJP as he stored up his offensive towards the federal government over the Adani situation.
“They hide the truth, that’s why they mislead everyday! The question remains the same – whose Rs 20,000 crore benami money is in Adani’s companies?” Gandhi requested in a tweet in Hindi and hooked up a picture with the names of the leaders with that of Adani.
He cited the names of Ghulam Nabi Azad, Jyotiraditya Scindia, Himanta Biswa Sarma, Kiran Kumar Reddy and Anil Okay Antony in his tweet. After quitting the Congress, Azad fashioned his personal social gathering, whereas the remainder joined the BJP. Scindia is now a Union minister and Sarma the chief minister of Assam.
In one other tweet in Hindi, Gandhi stated, “How will inflation come down? How will the pain of the public be seen? The entire focus of the government is on increasing Adani’s income and protecting it from investigation.”
He additionally put out a chart displaying the rise in costs of commodities similar to rice, wheat flour, milk, ghee, oil, pulses and gasoline cylinder between 2013 and 2023, and stated “your pocket is being picked through price rise”.
Reacting to Gandhi on Twitter, Sarma stated, “It was our decency to have never asked you, on where have you concealed the proceeds of crime from the Bofors and National Herald Scams. And how you allowed Ottavio Quattrocchi to escape the clutches of Indian justice multiple times. Any way we will meet in the Court of Law.”
Anil Okay Antony, one other former Congressman and son of veteran Congress chief A Okay Antony, stated it was “sad to see a former president of a national party – the so-called PM candidate of the Congress – speak like an online / social media cell troll and not like a national leader.”
“Very humbled to see my fledgling name also with these tall stalwarts who have contributed decades for nation-building work – and had to leave the party as they preferred to work for India and our people and not for a family,” Antony stated.
Azad squarely blamed Rahul Gandhi for his ouster from the Congress. He additionally alleged that one needed to be “spineless” to be within the Congress.
Anil Okay Antony and former Andhra Pradesh chief minister Kiran Kumar Reddy have joined the BJP after quitting the Congress earlier this week.
