COLOMBO: Indian National Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday hit out at the Modi government over its alleged interference in a Sri Lanka Power Project.
Taking to his official Twitter handle, Gandhi said, “BJP’s cronyism has now crossed Palk Strait and moved into Sri Lanka.”
Along with his tweet, he shared a report where Sri Lanka’s Electricity chief had alleged that President Gotabaya Rajapaksa told him that Prime Minister Narendra Modi insisted that the Wind Power Project be awarded to Gautam Adani’s group.
Ceylon Electricity Board chairman MMC Ferdinando made the allegations on Friday before the Committee on Public Enterprises (COPE) but soon withdrew them saying he had been “emotional”.
His allegations even forced President Rajapaksa to issue a statement on the matter.(Ada Derana)
