BJP Slams Rahul Over 'Baseless' Dharavi Redevelopment Claims

The BJP accused Rahul Gandhi and the Congress party of running a smear campaign against Mumbai's Dharavi redevelopment project. Responding to Gandhi's press conference earlier in the day, senior BJP leader Vinod Tawde countered the allegations, stating that Gautam Adani’s business growth began during the Rajiv Gandhi-led Congress government. Highlighting deals made with the Adani Group in Congress-ruled states, Tawde questioned, "When a ₹12,400 crore deal was signed in Telangana or a ₹46,000 crore solar project was awarded in Rajasthan under Ashok Gehlot, who was Adani aligned with?" Tawde dismissed Rahul Gandhi’s claims of BJP favoring Adani through policies, calling them baseless. He emphasized that Adani’s rise, both in India and globally, was significantly bolstered under Congress-led administrations, terming Gandhi’s criticism of the Dharavi project as a politically motivated smear campaign.
