Attacking His Own Friends: Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge Responds To PM Modi's Adani-Ambani Question

Reacting to continuous attacks at his party and MP Rahul Gandhi, the Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Wednesday slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi saying 'times are changing now'. In a post on micro-blogging site X, formerly known as Twitter, Kharge said PM Modi is now worried his chair is shaking. He also highlighted that the Prime Minister has started attacking his own friends, which shows that he is worried.

"Times are changing. Friends are no longer friends...! After the completion of three phases of elections, today the Prime Minister has started attacking his own friends. It is becoming clear that Modiji's chair is shaking. This is the real trend of the result," Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge said in a post in Hindi.

Earlier today, while addressing a sea of supporters in Telangana, PM Modi asked why Rahul Gandhi has stopped taking names of Ambani and Adani, alleging that a secret deal has been done between them.

"You would have seen that the Congress shahzada, for the last five years, has been repeating this. Since his Rafale row was grounded, he started repeating this - first, he spoke of five industrialists, and then Ambani-Adani, Ambani-Adani, Ambani-Adani. But even since elections were announced, they have stopped abusing the two. I want to ask the public of Telangana, the shahzada should declare - how much have they taken from Ambani-Adani? How much of black money has been taken? Have tempos full of cash reached Congress? What's the deal that's been struck? Why did you stop abusing Ambani-Adani overnight? Surely something is amiss," he said in Telangana.
