THE social media in India was on Wednesday (15) flooded with posts criticising the Narendra Modi government over allegations that the prime minister put pressure on Gotabaya Rajapaksa, the president of Sri Lanka, to award a green power project to the Adani Group of Indian businessman Gautam Adani.
#ModiMustResign was also trending on Twitter.
Mocking the Indian government as “Modani government”, public interest lawyer and activist Prashant Bhushan said in a tweet, “So the Chairman of the Sri Lankan electricity authority tells their enquiry commission that the Sri Lankan President told him that India’s Modani govt was insisting that Adani be given the 5K Cr project.This in itself is a bigger scam than Bofors. #ModiMustResign”
