Rahul Gandhi has links with “undesirable businessmen”, said former Congress veteran Ghulam Nabi Azad. Azad said this in a reply to the Wayanad MP’s allegation in a tweet that named Azad among others of having ties with industrialist Gautam Adani. “The entire family has associations with businessmen, including him (Rahul). I can give 10 examples of where he would go, even outside the country, to meet people who are undesirable businessmen,” said Azad in an interview to a news channel. Former J&K CM and ex-Union minister Azad had severed his five-decade association with Congress in August last year and floated his own party, Democratic Progressive Azad Party. Rahul Gandhi, in his attempt to target the Centre over Gautam Adani's alleged tax evasion, criticized Congress members who had left the party. Rahul linked them to the Adani controversy, which he had been drawing on since the report by American research firm Hindenburg, claiming that the industrialist had hidden Rs 20,000 crore in tax havens.
