Modi govt putting ties with US at stake to save Adani: Congress slams BJP's 'Soros allegations'

New Delhi: Congress on Monday dismissed BJP's allegations of its leaders colluding with billionaire-investor George Soros, claiming the "real conspiracy" is unveiling during the Parliament's Winter Session as the government puts at risk India's ties with the United States just to save Gautam Adani.

The response came as the BJP claimed that Soros and US-based agencies, investigative media platform Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP), and Rahul Gandhi occupy three sides of a "dangerous" triangle trying to destabilise India and stoke public disaffection for a regime change.

"We have been trying to raise issues since the Parliament session has started but there is one issue the Prime Minister cannot tolerate. When that issue is raised, he loses self control. That one name is Adani. As soon as that name is taken, the PM gets rattled," Congress Media and Publicity Department chairperson Pawan Khera said.

In an apparent reference to BJP's attack on the US Department of State, Khera said no one has the right to stake India's ties with a nation for one person.

"Those countries that help that industrialist, even if they enter our borders, they are given a clean chit and those countries that get a probe done on him, they are accused of being part of a conspiracy. What kind of foreign policy is this?" Khera said in a video statement.

"Since the Parliament started functioning, this conspiracy of how the government is even ready to put at stake India's ties with other countries to save one person is unravelling. This conspiracy began in about 2002. Then it was limited to a state but since 2014 this has now become an international conspiracy," he alleged.

He further alleged that a number of minister's children are accepting grants from Soros, and said whether the ruling party considers this to be an issue or not.

"Is it an issue that how many children of ministers are taking grants from Soros' organisations? The issue is that the king's life is dependent on the parrot's life. This parrot does not eat chilies but it eats ports, electricity, coal, money of share market investors.. Tax payers' money goes to this parrot. To save this parrot, the king will go to any extent. You would have heard of Z security, Y security; Gautam bhai has 'M' security. It is not Madhabi (Buch) security, but Modi security. This security is such that if anyone wants to reach Gautam Adani, he or she has to cross the dead body of democracy," Khera said.
