Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Wednesday challenged Congress chief Rahul Gandhi to tweet in opposition to Nationalist Congress Party chief Sharad Pawar after he held a latest assembly with Adani Group chairperson Gautam Adani. “Rahul Gandhi tweeted that we are Adani’s friends. I don’t even know him. Northeast people will take some time to reach Adani, Ambani, Tata. Whatever…we are trying to reach there. But does Rahul Gandhi have the courage, I challenge, to tweet against Sharad Pawar? To ask what Pawarji’s relationship is with Adani? So this is the politics of convenience,” Himanta Biswa Sarma stated at Republic Summit.

“You tweet something on BJP and Adani but when Gautam Adani goes to Sharad Pawar’s house and spends 2-3 hours, why doesn’t Rahul Gandhi tweet? I have no problem in Sharad Pawar meeting Adani ji,” the Assam CM stated.

In a latest tweet, Rahul Gandhi talked about the title of some ex-Congressmen together with Himanta Biswa Sarma, Ghulam Nabi Azad and linked them with Adani as he wrote, “They hide the truth, that’s why they mislead everyday.” Himanta Biswa Sarma warned of a defamation case in opposition to Rahul Gandhi for the tweet.

At Republic Summit, Himanta talked about his defamation swimsuit and stated he isn’t even positive whether or not Rahul Gandhi himself posts these tweets. “A senior Congress leader in Asaam told me that Rahul Gandhi probably does not even know what he tweeted. Someone made him tweet that,” Himanta stated.

Amid the demand for a Joint Parliamentary Committee probe into the Adani-Hindenburg challenge, Gautam Adani met Sharad Pawar at his residence final Thursday (April 20). Pawar created a ripple as he stated in an interview that he doesn’t assist the demand for a JPC probe, however clarified later {that a} Supreme Court committee might be simpler than a JPC.

On opposition unity forward of 2024 Lok Sabha election, Himanta stated, “First, Nitish Kumar must think how many seats he has without Tejashwi. Without support, he can’t even stand. If they aim to contain BJP within 250 seats in the Lok Sabha, it means they already accepted defeat.”
