Rahul Gandhi Claims PM Modi Can’t Stand up to Trump Despite ‘Repeated Threats’ Due to U.S. Probe Into Adani

INDIA, AUG 6 – Rahul Gandhi links Modi’s silence on Trump’s tariff threats to a US probe alleging $265 million in bribes by Adani Group to secure $2 billion in contracts, limiting India’s diplomatic response.

  • On August 6, 2025, Rahul Gandhi said Modi’s hands are tied due to the ongoing U.S. investigation into Adani, amid Trump’s tariff threat.
  • Earlier this year, the U.S. Department of Justice and Securities and Exchange Commission launched an FCPA investigation into the Adani Group, focusing on shell companies and stock manipulation after the November 2024 indictment for over $250 million in alleged bribes.
  • This past week, President Trump threatened to substantially raise U.S. tariffs on India over its Russian oil purchases and resale, including hikes on existing 25% duties.
  • Adani responded at its annual meeting, stating no one from the group has been charged under the FCPA and remains committed to compliance.
  • Critics highlight photographs showing official visits that fuel allegations of cronyism, as opposition leaders accuse the Modi government of favouring Adani through policy support.
