A recent tweet has sparked fresh controversy around the Adani Group and its alleged involvement in a massive kickback scandal.
NEW DELHI: A recent tweet by Rohan Dua, the Executive Editor of The New Indian, has sparked fresh controversy around the Adani Group and its alleged involvement in a massive kickback scandal. Dua’s tweet, which references a US FBI chargesheet, claims that opposition-led states in India—including Telangana, Odisha, and Tamil Nadu—received ₹2,080 crore in kickbacks from Adani. These allegations suggest that key political players in these regions were allegedly complicit in a broader scheme involving the billionaire businessman.
According to the chargesheet, the kickbacks were tied to solar energy business agreements signed between the Adani Group and these states, which were reportedly facilitated through corrupt channels. The U.S. authorities’ investigation has raised serious questions about the role of both state and central government officials in facilitating these deals.

Dua’s tweet has added fuel to the growing fire surrounding Adani’s business practices, particularly his ties with political entities that have long been scrutinized for their close-knit relations with business giants. His comment about the opposition allegedly being “hands in glove” with Adani has resonated with critics, highlighting the intersection of politics and corporate dealings.
While the allegations have not been independently verified, the FBI’s chargesheet has raised alarms over the potential influence of powerful corporate figures like Adani in shaping policy decisions at the state level. This revelation could have significant repercussions not only for the Adani Group but also for the broader political landscape in India, as it could further fuel the narrative of corruption and corporate-politician collusion.

As the investigation continues, both Adani’s representatives and government officials have yet to comment on these specific charges. The unfolding situation will likely intensify scrutiny of the business magnate’s international operations and his relationships with political leaders across India.
Rohan Dua’s tweet underscores the growing complexity of this issue, as the intersection of corporate power, politics, and alleged corruption takes centre stage in public discourse. Whether these charges are substantiated or not, the fallout from this scandal is sure to reverberate throughout India’s political and business communities.
