Prime Minister Appears To Be On The Backfoot: Pro- Modi Columnist On Adani-Ambani Comments

Senior journalist, columnist and Modi supporter Talveen Singh recently commented on the Adani-Ambani remark. She wrote on her weekly Indian Express column by claiming that prime minister Narendra Modi appears to be on the backfoot. Talveen seems puzzled by Modi’s remark.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi taking a jibe at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said that ‘the “Congress Party’s Shehzada” had spent five years repeating the mantra “Ambani-Adani, Ambani-Adani” but stopped once the election campaign began. Why? He challenged Rahul Gandhi to declare how much he got from Messrs Ambani and Adani’. 

Meanwhile, Rahul Gandhi responded that if the Prime Minister knew Mukesh Ambani and Gautam Adani were sending him bags full of cash, why had he not sent the ED and CBI to investigate? he asked in a recently uploaded video. 

Commenting on the ongoing rebuttal, Taleveen wrote, “What is clear is that by openly charging India’s two richest men with sending “tempos filled with black money in sacks” to the Congress Party he has put himself in a bind.”

Prime minister who is considered to be very careful about the words he spills in out in the public is now trapped in his own words of damage.

The notable part is what action will be taken against the two close friends -Adani and Ambani. Unfortunately, Modi was also unable to create a ruckus as the issues he raised in recent weeks failed to woo the voters. 

“This is because none of these issues were issues at all. When he declared that if the Congress Party came to power, it would steal women’s ‘mangalsutras’, it made him look vulnerable and slightly hysterical,” Talveen wrote.  

According to the columnist, this has occurred due to the dragging of the election campaign and the only solution is to complete the election process within a week. “When an election campaign lasts six weeks, everyone starts running out of steam,” Talveen concluded.
