PRESS RELEASE I Sikkim Pradesh Congress Committee (SPCC)
Gangtok, 6th Mile

Date: November 22, 2024

The Sikkim Pradesh Congress Committee (SPCC) strongly condemns the recent allegations leveled by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) against Gautam Adani and his associates. These charges highlight an extensive bribery scheme involving ₹2,000 crore to secure high-value solar energy contracts in India. According to the SEC, between 2020 and 2024, Adani and his co-defendants offered bribes to Indian government officials to acquire contracts worth over ₹16,000 crore, impacting states such as Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Jammu & Kashmir, Odisha, and Tamil Nadu.
What is even more troubling is the evident failure of Indian regulatory bodies, including SEBI, ED, CBI, and the Income Tax Department, to take action despite the serious nature of these allegations. The delay in investigating the Adani group’s financial dealings raises concerns about the integrity of these agencies and their potential misuse for political gains. While opposition leaders are unfairly targeted, individuals like Adani seem to enjoy unchecked freedom, highlighting the deep-rooted corruption in our system.
The SPCC also points out the violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and U.S. federal securities laws. Adani’s group has not only engaged in bribery, but also concealed these activities from American investors, raising further questions about the transparency and ethical standards of Adani Group companies. Additionally, it is deeply concerning that the manipulation of coal and electricity prices under Adani's influence has led to a significant financial burden on Indian consumers, directly contributing to the rising electricity costs.
We demand a thorough investigation into these grave allegations by a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC). The lack of accountability from the government and investigative agencies is a direct threat to the credibility of our democratic institutions. The Congress party remains committed to ensuring justice for the people of India and calls for immediate action to bring the guilty parties to justice.
The SPCC also urges the Indian government to cease using regulatory bodies as tools for political gain and instead ensure that they function independently to uphold the rule of law and protect the interests of the people.
The Congress party will continue to stand against corruption and injustice, and will not rest until accountability is ensured. We call on all concerned citizens and the media to unite in this fight for justice.
