the criticism of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government in India by Sitaram Yechury, a leader of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) or CPIM. Yechury has accused the government of attempting to hide its support of billionaire industrialist Gautam Adani, who has close ties to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Yechury has expressed disbelief at the lengths to which the Modi government will go to conceal its patronage of Adani. The criticism comes amid ongoing controversy over Adani's business deals, including a proposed coal mine in Australia that has faced opposition from environmentalists.
The article also mentions the formation of a task force in June 2018 to address the issue of shell companies, which are often used to hide illicit funds. However, when questioned in parliament, the government claimed to have no definition or information regarding shell companies, leading to accusations of complicity in allowing corrupt practices to thrive.
Yechury has described the situation as "the loot of India," suggesting that the government is allowing corrupt practices to take place unchecked. The criticism of the BJP government highlights concerns over the country's business and political environment, particularly in relation to powerful industrialists like Adani.
