Gautam Adani, the Indian industrialist and chairman of the Adani Group, spoke out for the first time on Indian television in an exclusive interview on Aap Ki Adalat. In the interview, which will air on India TV at 10 pm on 7th January, Adani addressed allegations about his group’s bank loans and infra projects, stating that he is doing business in 22 regions and there is no BJP government everywhere.
Adani also shared his thoughts on the attention he has received in recent years, saying that he gained so much popularity because of Rahul Gandhi. According to Adani, Gandhi targeted him after 2014 and this is why he is on the show. “Everybody got to know who I am,” Adani said.
The Adani Group’s official Twitter handle promoted the interview, encouraging viewers to tune in to learn more about Adani’s vision on nation-building and what’s in store for the future.
