Chants of “Adani, Adani” and “Modi, Modi” were heard during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s tirade in Lok Sabha on Wednesday as Opposition members and ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) engaged in a face-off.
The Prime Minister was replying to the ‘motion of thanks’ debate on President Droupadi Murmu’s address. The Opposition has been targeting the government, especially over the Adani Group row and demanding a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) into it.
As the Prime Minister tore into Congress, the opposition members raised “Adani, Adani” slogans and some of them even walked out of the house during the PM’s speech later. In response to this, the BJP MPs raised “Modi, Modi” slogans.
