Hours after Rahul Gandhi accused the Centre of standing behind industrialist Gautam Adani, BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra hit back at Congress accusing them for trying to damage Indian markets through propaganda.

While addressing a press conference at the party headquaters, Patra dared the Congress to go to court against the company rather than making accusations through the media. However, he had distanced the party and the government from the Adani group by stating that the case is against the company and BJP is not answerable to the allegations.

“The matter relates to the agreement for sale and purchase of electricity, and the agreement with state distribution companies. Which are the four states mentioned in the US court? The matter pertains to the time between July 2021 and February 2022. Chhattisgarh, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Odisha all had non-NDA governments at that time. They had neither our CMs nor ruling parties supported by us. But they had governments of the Congress or their allies,” Patra said.
