The Congress MPs sported the jackets with Adani and Modi photos saying that Adani- Ambani Ek Hai. This was a unique protest for the first time.
Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury,said the protest aimed to highlight the “unholy nexus” between the Modi government and the Adani Group. “The BJP government has remained silent on the serious allegations against Adani. This is not just about one man but about systemic corruption and favoritism,” he stated.
The Congress also reiterated its demand for a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) to investigate the allegations against the Adani Group. Party leaders have accused the government of shielding Adani by avoiding a transparent inquiry into the matter.
The demonstration drew sharp reactions from the ruling BJP, with party leaders dismissing the protest as “political theatrics.” BJP spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia called the Congress’s actions an attempt to divert attention from its own leadership crisis and corruption allegations.
The Adani issue has been a focal point of political conflict between the Congress and the BJP, with the Opposition consistently raising it in Parliament and public forums. Despite the government’s denials of any wrongdoing, the Congress continues to press for accountability,using protests like Thursday’s to amplify its demands.
