Former IPL Chairman targets Congress MP, says 'I am not a fugitive, nothing has been proven in 17 years'.
Former IPL Chairman Lalit Modi has launched a sharp attack on Congress MP Rahul Gandhi. In a recent interview, Modi questioned why Rahul Gandhi repeatedly takes his name and targets him in his speeches.
Lalit Modi said, "Whenever you watch in Parliament, or listen to Rahul Gandhi's speeches, he always attacks me."
He added that he is targeted by the Congress during every election or whenever any issue arises.
"Why am I being attacked by the Congress?"
Modi claimed that he has no fear of the country's legal system. However, he mentioned being cautious of political vendettas.
He said that some political people, whether in the opposition or elsewhere, hold a grudge against him.
According to him, these very people have used their influence to create a commotion against him.
On being called a 'fugitive', Lalit Modi strongly refuted it. He said, "I am not a fugitive. I am not running away anywhere."
He emphasized that despite all the allegations and rhetoric over the past 17 years, no legal case has been proven against him.
Modi said, "If you want to arrest me, you have to take me to court. In 17 years, you haven't taken me to court. So how can you arrest me today?"
When asked why Rahul Gandhi also targets businessmen like Mukesh Ambani and Gautam Adani, Modi distinguished himself.
He said that due to his connection with cricket, news about him sells more. He stated, "Newspapers don't sell because of Ambani and Adani. News sells because of me. Cricket is very big."
This statement by Lalit Modi has once again caused a stir in political circles. These claims could intensify the war of words between him and the Congress in the coming times.
