The BJP's former MLA CT Ravi claimed the Congress government in Karnataka being open to investments from the Adani Group exposes "double standards" of the Congress
In a statement that reflected investment realities, even in several opposition-ruled states, Karnataka Industries Minister MB Patil said in an interview to a private news channel that they will "give time" to the Adani group to "come up with proposals".
"We will get clarity on the extent of investments (assured in the 2022 summit) that will materialise in the next meeting (of the department). When any industrialist comes to set up an industry, we will consider their proposals. They (Adani Group) have not promised anything. We will give them time to come up with proposals," he said.
Given the campaign by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi against the Adani Group on the Hindenburg report allegations, the BJP's former MLA CT Ravi claimed the Congress government in Karnataka being open to investments from the Adani Group exposes "double standards" of the Congress.
Most Congress leaders in the state seem clear that "investments that are transparent and in the interest of the state" are welcome even "if they are from the Adani Group".
