Priyanka Gandhi Slams Adani Company for Seizing the Apple Market During Crisis

In a scathing critique, Priyanka Gandhi, the National General Secretary of the Congress party, has taken aim at the Adani Group, accusing them of profiteering during a time of crisis. Through a post on the social media platform ‘X,’ she called upon Prime Minister Narendra Modi to intervene and prevent this exploitation.

Priyanka Gandhi alleges that after Adani released the apple rates, the prices of apples plummeted, affecting the income of apple growers significantly. She points out that at a time when the farmers and orchard owners in Himachal Pradesh need help, they are being burdened further.

Adani Group has been accused by the orchard owners in Himachal Pradesh for several years of manipulating apple market rates to their advantage. Despite widespread protests, Adani recently announced new apple rates at a lower price, which further exacerbated the concerns of local growers.

In her post, Priyanka Gandhi questioned why Prime Minister Modi is not taking action to curb this exploitation. The plummeting apple prices have posed a severe challenge to the livelihoods of farmers and orchard owners in the state.

This issue has gained significant attention, and Priyanka Gandhi’s post has gone viral, highlighting the ongoing struggle of apple growers against the Adani Group’s alleged market manipulation during a crisis.
