Oppn parties slam govt over reported appointment of Adani Energy advisor on Environment Ministry’s committee

Opposition parties on Tuesday attacked the Modi Government for “appointing” Janardhan Chaudhary as a member of the Centre’s Expert Appraisal Committees (EAC) under the Environment Ministry, alleging he is an employee of the Adani group.

Chaudhary was appointed in September to the all-important panel, which has to clear several power projects, including some of the Adani Group, according to media reports.

“Adani Pradhan Sevak appointed Adani employee Janardhan Choudhury as a member of EAC under Environment Ministry. This committee has to approve 6 Adani projects (10,300 MW),” the Kerala Congress claimed on its official X account.
