Congress leader Rahul Gandhi drew the irk of Assam Chief Minister with a tweet made on Saturday. In the tweet made in Hindi, Rahul wrote,
“They hide the truth, that’s why they mislead everyday! The question remains the same – who has ₹20,000 crore benami money in Adani’s companies?”
He also embedded a poster of ADANI group with some other names.
The names included Ghulam, Scindia, Kiran, Himanta and Anil. It is unclear who the names refer to. However, it appeared to be a veiled remark to ex-congress leaders who had decided to part ways with Congress.
सच्चाई छुपाते हैं, इसलिए रोज़ भटकाते हैं!
सवाल वही है – अडानी की कंपनियों में ₹20,000 करोड़ बेनामी पैसे किसके हैं? pic.twitter.com/AiL1iYPjcx

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sharma took cognizance of Rahul Gandhi’s tweet and replied, “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.”
