NewsToday With Rajdeep Sardesai: Gautam Adani Faces US Court Trial Over Bribery Allegations

Billionaire businessman Gautam Adani is facing a trial in a US court over allegations of bribing government officials in India to secure solar power deals. The indictment suggests that the Adani Green Energy and the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) were involved in these deals, which included power supply to Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, and Jammu and Kashmir. The indictment has triggered a political storm in India and raised questions about who will order a probe into the allegations. Furthermore, the state government of Andhra Pradesh is under scrutiny following these allegations. The indictment from the US implies that the deal couldn't have materialised without power supply agreements with the Solar Energy Corporation. It also suggests that other state governments might have followed suit after the first agreement. While the US is prosecuting based on their laws, the events occurred in India have led to calls for a criminal investigation to uphold the credibility of the Indian rule of law.

Are there no laws against monopoly in India????
If yes then how there could be monopoly of one man on every sector of the country, killing any healthy competition???

[hassobhatia]

Shocking that Mr Agarwal is allowed to practice in the Supreme Court

[ajaychandak]

Kenya cancelled all contracts. Maharashtra and Rajasthan should also cancel power deals and also Dharavi deal. Higher PPA given to Adani means higher electricity tariff for all.

[Khunlem]

I am just wondering how are the indian institutions thinking right now, the job which they had to do was done by US sec, and justice dept. It is utter shame for such a big country like ours to have even to face a day like today in the name of fraud and bribery.

[ElliotVile]

Makes sense for bjp to defend adani, thats where they get all there funding from

[tyro]

Indian corporates will have a tough time to raise any money in US and Europe from now on. Tough times ahead.

Sad to see government acting so ridiculous calling this anti- India? This is shameful from BJP. This really sucks for India

[hassobhatia]

How come kejriwal was arrested on mere allegations of corruption…?

[neeranarayan]

Why there is no fair and thorough probe on the nexus of Modani to quantify how much this nexus has contributed for the exponential growth of one man and to facilitate him to capture 10% of Indian GDP solely and costed the mass of India to loose their fair share of growth of country because of monopoly of one man and one man only????

[GhaLib-tjoj]

Rajdeep, you are getting these crazy immature people (Tuhin Sinha) on your channel. It’s exasperating.

[hassobhatia]

BJP spokesman is insulting the entire panel by blaming it on George Soros…

[ravimsr]

Adani has the support from the highest level in India. Nothing will happen to Adani. It will be a non issue in a week’s time.

[nataliepereira]

The politics aside. The institutes, should look into the matter. Mr S.C Ghanth is making sense.

[mukeshchokshi]

Please side subject to discuss but answer to newyork dist court keep one legal reply to represent

[ajaychandak]

Document say 25 lakh per MW was paid; which is 7-8% of project cost and PPA were done at 20-25% higher cost than market rates. 25 lakhs X 7000 MW = 1750 crores. These figures match. Indians understand no officer or politician will sign deal without taking bribe in advance. Officer can get transferred and politician may not get reelected and hence they want everything in advance.

[ShanmugavadiveluS.T]

Adani allegations may be set aside and construction of solar power may be started soon so as to meet the growing demand.

[truth]

There should be a monopoly commission in India like there is in most countries in the west. If Adani goes bankrupt/fails then all his companies comes under fire.

[ioanniswallang]

India will take action only after the indictment is heard and base on the outcome. There are two possibilities. The USA might change the stand or might bring adani groups into a trail. If the trail happen then India would be involved

[kiwidentalhospitals]

Ek hi toh saath hi nodi was right modi+adani=bjp

[noelcarvalho]

I'm not brother who gave what who took what. Now our PM is 56" chest let him nail or PM is hand in hand 😮.

[m.n.thampyassociates]

Elon mask is being admired; respected - & ranked honourably as a cabinetminister's position in comming trump's ministery Evaluate the contrasting & contradict mindset s of both contries citizen Adani ; one of the biggest tax payer, employment provider, successful business man, really proud of our country
