Congress raises allegations against Prime Minister Narendra Modi after media reports say U.S. authorities are considering dropping fraud-related charges against Indian billionaire Gautam Adani. Multiple outlets report the party’s claim that the U.S. move, if it occurs, explains why Modi agreed to the Indo-U.S. trade deal and why the government abruptly halted “Operation Sindoor.” Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh is quoted saying it is “clear” why the prime minister supported a trade arrangement Congress characterizes as one-sided. Ramesh also argues that Modi halted Operation Sindoor on May 10, 2025 based on President Donald Trump’s alleged threats rather than on national interest, linking the timing to the reported U.S. review of Adani-related charges. The reports describe the controversy as stemming from the claim that the Trump administration may settle or drop corruption charges involving Adani. The sources focus on Congress’s reaction to the U.S.-related reports, without presenting confirmation from U.S. or Indian authorities in the excerpts provided.

The Congress on Thursday attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi over media reports claiming that US authorities are moving to drop charges against billionaire Gautam Adani, saying it is now clear why the PM agreed to the "hopelessly one-sided" Indo-US trade deal and why he abruptly halted Operation Sindoor. The opposition party's attack came after media reports claimed that US authorities are moving to settle the fraud charges against the Indian billionaire. Reacting to the reports, Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh said, "It is now clear why the PM agreed to the hopelessly one-sided Indo-US trade 'deal' that was really a steal by the US. And it is also clear why he abruptly halted Operation Sindoor on May 10 2025, acting on President Trump's threats rather than on our national interest." "Reportedly, the Trump Administration is about to drop all charges of corruption against Modani," he said on X. How much more "compromised" can the PM get, Ramesh ..
