Priyank Kharge justifies Karnataka CM’s meeting with Adani

Karnataka Home Minister Priyank Kharge on Monday, August 24, defended Chief Minister DK Shivakumar’s meeting with Adani Group chairman Gautam Adani, saying the government considers him a “contractor.” Kharge’s reaction came amid criticism over the CM’s meeting with Adani after his company, Adani Enterprises, emerged as the lowest bidder for the proposed Bengaluru tunnel road project.
