Asked only one question on Adani..: Rahul Gandhi on disqualification

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi held his first news conference since his disqualification from the Lok Sabha on Saturday, saying he only raised one question about Adani in Parliament.

“My speech made in Parliament was expunged, and later I wrote a detailed reply to the Lok Sabha Speaker. Some ministers lied about me, that I sought help from foreign powers. But there is no such thing I have done. I will not stop asking questions, I will keep questioning the relationship between PM Modi and Adani,” he said.

Rahul said that this ‘whole drama’ was orchestrated to defend the Prime Minsiter from one simple question. “Who’s Rs 20,000 crore went to Adani’s shell companies? I am not scared of these threats, disqualifications or prison sentences,” he said.
