Eknath Shinde, the chief minister of Maharashtra, has taken a dig at Uddhav Thackeray, the leader of the Shiv Sena (UBT), and the Congress by urging them to pay attention to Sharad Pawar, the head of the Nationalist Congress Party, on the Adani problem. According to US-based Hindenburg Research, billionaire Gautam Adani’s companies engaged in extensive stock manipulation and accounting fraud. This sparked vociferous protests from the opposition Congress and other groups against the Narendra Modi administration. The organisation disputed the charges. Pawar defended the Adani Group in an interview with NDTV and criticised the spin put on Hindenburg Research’s analysis of the company.
“Similar remarks were made before by other people as well, and there was a disturbance in Parliament for a few days,” he added. “But this time out-of-proportion attention was given to the subject.” “We had never heard of the folks who made the statement; who kept them; and what their history was. We cannot ignore these things when they generate concerns that make a commotion throughout the nation since the expense is carried by the national economy. This looks to have been targeted, “Pawar had said. On Friday evening, following a real estate expo in Kalyan, CM Shinde addressed the media “The Congress launched an uprising in an effort to get answers about the Rs 20,000 crore in the Adani Group. Even Uddhav Thackeray often discussed this subject. Considering what Pawar has said recently, people who are demonstrating should take note.”
The CM took aim at the Congress and Shiv Sena (UBT), which are partners with the NCP in the Maha Vikas Aghadi, and said that Pawar is a highly senior politician and must have spoken on the Adani issue after much research. As a result, those objecting should explain their position, he said.
