NEW DELHI: Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Monday took a dig at PM Narendra Modi’s ‘ek hai toh safe hai’ (united, we are safe) slogan and accused the PM of giving priority to the interests of Gujarati business tycoon Gautam Adani over the people of Maharashtra.
Addressing a press conference in Mumbai ahead of the November 20 Assembly poll, Gandhi held a show by pulling two posters from a safe. One poster featured PM alongside Adani with the caption ‘ek hai toh safe hai’, while the other displayed a map of the Adani Group’s Dharavi redevelopment plan.
Gandhi claimed the “safe” was a symbol of the wealth of Mumbai, which he alleged was being targeted by Adani. He alleged the “entire political machinery” was manipulated to allot the Dharavi project to one person.
