The Anil Ambani group on Sunday took Congress President Rahul Gandhi head on by calling the latter’s allegations of crony capitalism against its chairman as “calumny, disinformation, distortion, and malicious lies.”
In recent election-eve media interactions and rallies, Rahul has singled out Anil Ambani several times for winning the Rafale defence contract from the Narendra Modi government, alleging favouritism and corruption.
In a statement on Sunday, a Reliance Group spokesperson said it was during the 10-year Congress-led United Progressive Alliance regime between 2004 and 2014 that Anil Ambani-led Reliance Group was awarded projects of over Rs 1 trillion across diverse, key nation-building infrastructure sectors such as power, telecom, roads, Metro, by a government led by none other than Rahul’s own political party — the Congress.
