Never said PM involved: Trinamool MP Mahua Moitra on Adani row
The prime minister is being fooled by Gautam Adani, Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra told India Today TV today, the first reaction of the party over the Adani issue. The firebrand leader also clarified that she has never alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was involved in the case.
“I have never for one minute said that the prime minister is involved. I have said yesterday in my speech that the prime minister is being fooled,” Moitra said.
Explaining her stand, Moitra further added: “This man is travelling with you everywhere. Everyone thinks this man is close to you. So if he is not close to you, tell us he is not close to you. Tell us he hasn’t travelled with you. Tells us you have nothing to do with him. Tell the Sebi to do an investigation. Ask for a court-monitored investigation. Give us the answers.”
The Adani Group has been accused of fraud and stock manipulation by a US-based short-seller, triggering a massive market rout.
