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 is not stepping away from music but is pausing it to focus on acting and exploring other artistic avenues. Speaking with Variety on December 18, the Wicked star clarified her future plans. While prioritizing screen work for now, Grande emphasized that music remains an integral part of her life. “Music and being on stage will always be a part of my life,” she stated. However, she does not foresee returning to touring soon.

Grande’s record label, Republic Records, addressed recent rumors about a 2025 tour after Ticketmaster listed events under her name. They confirmed, “There are no plans for a tour next year. Ariana remains deeply appreciative of her fans and their love and support.”

In July, Grande had hinted at the possibility of a mini-tour during a guest appearance on the Shut Up Evan podcast. She mentioned that fitting it between the release of Wicked Part One on November 22 and Wicked Part Two in November 2025 could be “a lovely idea.” However, it has been five years since her last tour in 2019, which supported her Sweetener album.

Currently, acting feels like home for Grande, and her performance in Wicked is earning her acclaim. Playing Glinda the Good Witch alongside Cynthia Erivo’s Wicked Witch of the West, Grande received her first-ever Golden Globe nomination for Best Supporting Actress. Erivo also earned a nomination for Best Actress.

As Ariana Grande embraces her evolving career, she remains grateful to her fans. “The next few years will be about exploring different forms of art,” she shared. While music takes a backseat, Grande’s Golden Globe nod signals a promising future in acting.
