Union finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman fired a contemporary salvo at Congress chief Rahul Gandhi in Bengaluru and mentioned Rahul Gandhi is a repeat offender when it comes to making baseless allegations in opposition to the prime minister. “He did it prior to 2019 elections. He is doing it again. He doesn’t seem to learn any lesson from all these false allegations that he wants to level against the prime minister,” Nirmala Sitharaman mentioned. Addressing the Adani subject which stormed the Budget Session of Parliament, Nirmala Sitharaman mentioned if Rahul Gandhi thinks Adani has been given “all these things”, it’s not true. “It was the Congress government in Kerala which gave Vizhinjam port to Adani on a platter. It was not given on basis of any tender,” Sitharaman mentioned.

The finance minister spoke in regards to the growth tasks the BJP ensured for Karnataka and the cash that has been allotted to the state. On RBI retaining the coverage charges unchanged, Nirmala Sitharaman mentioned RBI has taken a superb name. On the value rise, Sitharaman mentioned inflation has been saved at 6% or under.

On a query on Adani, Sitharaman mentioned, “So Shri Rahul Gandhi believes. I am asking you if he really thinks that Adani has been given all these things which is not true…let me also say he is now becoming a repeat offender…”

“In Rajasthan all the photo voltaic undertaking has been given to Adani. What stops Rahul Gandhi to cancel that. Like in 2013 when prime minister Manmohan Singh was overseas, Rahul Gandhi known as it nonsense and thru it within the dustbin. Like that what stops Rahul Gandhi from cancelling that order in Rajasthan? Why is he not saying Modi Adani bye bye in Rajasthan?
