Adani says got no special favours from Modi

(BJP government led by) Keshubhai Patel (in 1995) charged us Re 1 per sq mt and Shankersinh Vaghela (led Rashtriya Janata Party) in 1996-07, charged Rs 1.5 per sq mt.  

Under Mr Modi, we got some 5,000 acre of land at an average of Rs 15 per sq mt rate,” he said.

Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi has in his political meetings used alleged largesse to industrialists like Adani to attack Modi. At a recent rally, Gandhi claimed that Modi had given Adani land for Re 1, the price of a toffee.

AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal too has alleged a nexus between Modi and industrialists like Adani and Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani.

Adani, 51, said he does not want to get involved in the political slugfest but facts are different than what is being portrayed.
