Hyderabad, May 8 -- Congress leader Rahul Gandhi responded to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's insinuation about a potential deal with Ambani and Adani by asking, "Namaskar Modiji, are you scared?"

This retort was in reaction to Modi questioning why Rahul Gandhi had ceased mentioning Ambani and Adani during the election campaign, hinting at a hidden agreement.

"Normally, you would only discuss Ambani and Adani behind closed doors. But for the first time, you have mentioned 'Ambani' and 'Adani' publicly," he remarked, in a video message posted on X on Wednesday, May 8.

"...You also know that Adani-Ambani send money in tempo? Is this from your personal experience? Do one thing..send CBI and ED. Get a thorough investigation done.don't panic...
