“Today, decisions about whether India should buy oil from countries like Russia, Iran, or Iraq are being directed by the US. This is what Modi gave. Our taxes have gone up. India got zero from the US deal due to its financial structure, Epstein and Adani,” he said.

Moving on to financial deals and explaining how the BJP has become the richest party, Rahul said: “The BJP became a rich party that developed a system with Adani. It is the BJP’s financial structure, centred on Adani, and this has been caught by the US, which is why a case is currently open in the US. That case is a message to Modi: if he does not listen to the US, that system will be exposed.”

Earlier Rahul Gandhi was welcomed by senior leaders including UP Congress Committee president Ajay Rai, party’s state in charge Avinash Pandey, Congress legislature party leader Aradhna Mishra and chairman of UP Congress OBC wing Manoj Yadav.
