Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi intensified his attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) during the ongoing election campaign in Assam, raising serious allegations over corporate influence and national policy decisions.
Addressing a public rally, Gandhi claimed that industrialist Gautam Adani serves as the financial backbone of the BJP, suggesting a close nexus between big business and political power. He accused the ruling party of favoring select corporate interests at the cost of public welfare.
Gandhi also launched a sharp critique of Narendra Modi, alleging that the Prime Minister had compromised India’s agricultural sector and energy security through an Indo-US agreement. While he did not go into specific details of the pact, Gandhi argued that such decisions could have long-term consequences for farmers and the country’s strategic autonomy.
The remarks come amid an intensifying political battle in Assam, with both the Congress and BJP ramping up their campaigns. Gandhi’s statements are likely to further fuel the ongoing debate over corporate influence in politics and the impact of international agreements on India’s domestic sectors.
