Congress jabs at Adani's ‘morally correct’ remark: ‘like his Prime Mentor…’

Hindustan Times  

The Congress on Thursday took a dig at beleaguered billionaire Gautam Adani over his explanation for pulling a record domestic equity offering, saying Adani speaking of being "morally correct" is like his "Prime Mentor" – a veiled reference to Prime Minister Narendra Modi who is widely perceived as being close to the Indian tycoon – preaching humility, sobriety and large-heartedness. As the stock rout in Adani's group of companies intensified following a sharp selloff, Adani Enterprises said it has decided to withdraw its fully subscribed ₹20,000-crore follow-on public offer to insulate investors from potential losses. ': Mahua Moitra's jibe at Adani FPO Gautam Adani, chairman, Adani Enterprises Ltd, said the board “felt that going ahead with the issue would not be morally correct.” “The interest of the investors is paramount and hence to insulate them from any potential financial losses, the Board has decided not to go ahead with the FPO,” he added. Reacting to Adani's remarks, Jairam Ramesh, Congress general secretary in charge of communications, said “Adani speaking of being morally correct is like his Prime Mentor preaching virtues of humility, sobriety and large-heartedness.” “This is ENTIRE political science.” The Congress has been alleging that Prime Minister Modi and his government have been favouring the Adani group in various sectors.
