Gautam Adani, accused by Rahul Gandhi of pocketing lucrative land at throwaway prices in Narendra Modi's Gujarat, has asserted he has not cut sweetheart deals in his dramatic rise from a college dropout to the magnate who runs India's biggest port and is the largest private power producer.
The chairman of the Adani Group is focused on his conglomerate's ambitious expansion plan but is dismayed by the noisy election campaign in which politicians routinely hurl allegations of crony capitalism and target tycoons such as Adani, RIL Chairman Mukesh Ambani as well as the
Tata and Essar groups, ignoring their side of their story.
"We respect views and opinions of different parties. However, in this politically charged atmosphere, we feel that wild and baseless allegations are either politically motivated or poorly informed and ill-advised.
