The Lok Sabha was adjourned till 2 pm and then for the day alike on Thursday due to the noisy protests while the Rajya Sabha was first shut till 2.30 pm and then for the day as the opposition accused Prime Minister Modi protecting Adani groups chairman and billionaire Gautam Adani.
In a TV interview, Adani denied his rise to become Asia’s richest person because of his association with Prime Minister Modi dismissing it as “baseless” just because both he and the PM are from the same state of Gujarat.
The fact of the matter is that my professional success is not because of any individual leader,” Adani said.
