Rahul Gandhi, Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, alleged that the BJP orchestrated distractions to avoid discussing the Adani Group’s indictment in the United States. Speaking at a press conference on Thursday, he accused the ruling party of creating diversions to shield “Narendra Modi’s friend Gautam Adani.”

Gandhi referred to a scuffle between MPs outside Parliament, blaming BJP MPs for blocking their path. “This is a new way of creating a distraction. The main issue they are trying to hide is the legal proceedings against Adani in the United States. Modi is selling India to Adani, and the BJP doesn’t want a discussion on this,” he said.

The controversy began after allegations surfaced in the U.S. Department of Justice and SEC indictments against Gautam Adani and his associates for bribery and misleading investors. The Adani Group has denied the charges, calling them “baseless.”

Simultaneously, BJP alleged that Rahul Gandhi pushed and injured its MP Pratap Sarangi during protests. Congress countered, accusing BJP MPs of manhandling LoP Mallikarjun Kharge. Both parties filed police complaints following the scuffle.

Gandhi also criticized BJP for its alleged anti-Constitutional mindset, citing Home Minister Amit Shah’s remarks in Parliament that appeared to downplay Dr. B.R. Ambedkar’s legacy. Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge condemned these comments, calling them a reflection of BJP’s mindset.

The Adani issue has fueled a broader narrative about crony capitalism under the Modi government, with Gandhi consistently linking the conglomerate to the ruling party. Protests and debates in Parliament continue to highlight opposition demands for transparency.

Ariana Grande’s journey through the awards season has begun on a high note, with her first-ever Golden Globe nomination for Best Supporting Actress. The nomination is a major milestone in Ariana Grande’s acting career, earning her recognition for her role in Wicked.

Grande attended the Beverly Hills luncheon with her mother, Joan Grande, and shared a special moment with fellow nominee Zoe Saldaña. The event saw several prominent Hollywood figures, including Adam Brody, Pamela Anderson, and Kathryn Hahn.

“It’s just really exciting,” she said. “To be here with so many amazing people and to be recognized for something so special is incredible.”

A highlight for Grande was learning that her childhood idol, Imogen Heap, had seen Wicked and loved it. Additionally, Grande had the chance to meet legendary filmmaker Steven Spielberg, which left her in awe. She described the encounter as both overwhelming and an honor.
