Jaipur: Condemning the BJP for mocking the Congress after he lavished praise on industrialist Gautam Adani during the Invest Rajasthan summit, Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Saturday said it was not a private programme and 3,000 delegates were attending.
Be it Adani or Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s son Jay Shah, Rajasthan will welcome all because it wants investment and employment, Gehlot said.
“It is not a private event, it is an investors’ summit. Are 3,000 delegates (who attended the summit) of the Congress?” Gehlot asked while asserting that their ideologies could be that of the Congress or the BJP.
“In such a situation, why do they want to create a hurdle? I condemn these people. They talked about Gautam Adani yesterday (Friday). Be it Gautam Adani or any Adani, or Ambani or Amit Shah’s son Jay Shah, we will welcome all of them here. We want employment, we want investment,” the chief minister said.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi often highlights Adani to allege that Prime Minister Narendra Modi only helps big businessmen.
Adani, chairman of the Adani Group and the richest man in Asia, was seated next to Gehlot during the inaugural ceremony of Invest Rajasthan, organised by the Congress-run state government to attract investment.
