Adani group tried to enter Delhi's power sector but Kejriwal stopped them: AAP's Sanjay Singh

The Adani group tried to enter Delhi's power sector but was stopped by then chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh claimed Thursday and stressed the need for accountability after industrialist Gautam Adani was charged in the US for alleged bribery and fraud.

In a press conference in New Delhi, Singh claimed that Adani Green Energy secured power supply contracts in several states, including Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh and Rajasthan, through unethical means.

"Adani even attempted to enter Delhi's electricity market but failed because then chief minister Arvind Kejriwal stopped them,” he said while warning people that if the BJP gains power in Delhi, electricity costs could surge.

"We will not keep quiet and will raise this matter with full force in the upcoming session of Parliament," Singh added.
