The intense heatwave across the country seems to have spilled over to heat up the Lok Sabha elections now. As the third phase of polling got over on Tuesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi opened a new front to attack the Congress and Rahul Gandhi. This time he used an oft-used weapon by Rahul Gandhi — Adani & Ambani — and seemed to turn the tables on the Wayanad MP. He accused the Congress of hoarding black money from the Adanis and the Ambanis to stop all attacks against the top industrialists of India.
This is the first time PM Modi invoked Ambani and Ambani to attack the Congress. So far, the Congress has been attacking the PM and the BJP for favouring the industrialists, accusing it of waiving their loans worth crores but burdening farmers for small loans.
Prime Minister Modi, while speaking at a public meeting in Telangana, said: “You must have seen the Shehzaada of Congress of has been chanting the name of [Mukesh] Ambani and [Gautam] Adani for 5 years. Suddenly, after the announcement of the elections, he stopped abusing Ambani and Adani. The Shehzaada must declare how much maal [money] he got from Ambani and Adani for the elections. How many bags of black money did he get from them? What deal did you crack with Ambani and Adani that you stopped abusing them overnight after attacking them for over 5 years? This means you have got trucks full of chori ka maal.
