Adani’s investment in Telangana, Revanth declines funds
The BRS Party’s protest is significant since the Adani group chairperson Gautam Adani donated Rs 100 crores to Telangana’s proposed Young India Skill University, during his meeting with Telangana chief minister Revanth Reddy in October. Adani also promised continued support for projects initiated by the Telangana government. “Together, we are not just shaping the future of our youth – we are unlocking the boundless potential for a brighter, more prosperous India. Here’s to creating a lasting legacy that will uplift generations to come,” the Adani Group Chairman added.However, following Adani’s indictment by a court in the United States in an alleged multi-billion fraud, Telangana chief minister A Revanth Reddy announced that the state government has declined Rs 100 crore investment for the Skill University which the Adani group donated,Reddy, while addressing a press conference here on Monday said that his government has not accepted any funds from the Adani Group.“I and my Cabinet colleagues do not want to be involved in unnecessary discussions and situations that would dent the image of the state government or my own. That is why, on behalf of the state government, our official Jayesh Ranjan wrote a letter (to Adanis),” he told reporters.
