The case is against Gautam Adani, his nephew Sagar Adani, who is executive director of the green energy business, and six other individuals. Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi had made crony capitalism — especially Gautam Adani’s proximity to Modi — the central piece of his campaign, particularly in the Maharashtra poll. For regional opposition leaders, Adani’s link with Modi has not exactly been a hot button issue. In a press conference on Thursday last week, the Congress Party leader called for Buch’s removal and Gautam Adani’s arrest. While the DOJ indictment came too late to sway the vote in Maharashtra, it might yet cast a long shadow — on India’s national politics and relations with Washington next year.
