Congress accuses Maharashtra govt of fast-tracking approvals to Adani projects ahead of elections

The Congress party on Monday accused the ruling Mahayuti government in Maharashtra of fast-tracking approvals for the Adani Group projects following the announcement of state Assembly Elections. Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh pointed out that recent comments from senior Mahayuti leaders have made it clear why the government is pushing these approvals.

In a post on X, Jairam Ramesh criticised the BJP-led Maharashtra government for rushing to approve projects for the Adani Group after the Election Commission announced the state assembly elections on October 15. Ramesh highlighted several key approvals in the weeks leading up to the election. For example, the government on September 15th awarded an energy contract to Adani to supply 6,600 MW of power to Maharashtra at higher prices.

On September 30, 2024, 255 acres of ecologically sensitive salt pan land was handed over to Adani, followed by the transfer of 140 acres in Madh on October 10, and 124 acres from the Deonar landfill in Mumbai on October 14.

Despite these actions, Ramesh argued that the people of Maharashtra see through these efforts and will give the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) a strong and clear mandate in the upcoming elections.
