Opposition slams govt after Adani Energy advisor appointed to Environment Ministry’s clearance committee

New Delhi: 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, saying he is an employee of the Adani Group.

Chaudhary was appointed in September to the all-important panel, which clears the country’s power projects, including those 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 said on its official X account.
