‘Modi’s hands are tied’ – Rahul Gandhi big revelation! Pressure on Adani and Russia Oil Deal?

In a tweet that sparked widespread debate, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is unable to confront former U.S. President Donald Trump due to an ongoing U.S. investigation into industrialist Gautam Adani.

The post, published on August 6, 2025, has since garnered over 6.3 million views and stirred political reactions across India.

Gandhi wrote, “The reason PM Modi cannot stand up to President Trump despite his repeated threats is the ongoing U.S. investigation into Adani.” He further claimed that one of the threats being held over Modi is the potential exposure of financial links between Modi, Adani (referred to as “AA”), and Russian oil deals. “Modi’s hands are tied,” he added.

The tweet comes amid escalating trade tensions between India and the United States, following Trump’s controversial move to impose a 50% tariff on key Indian exports.

Critics of the Modi government have questioned its muted response, and Gandhi’s tweet appears to offer an explanation rooted in alleged geopolitical and financial vulnerabilities.

While the U.S. government has yet to comment on any such investigation, the suggestion of backchannel threats involving a prominent Indian business tycoon adds fuel to ongoing concerns about corporate-political nexuses.

The Modi government and the BJP have not yet officially responded to the claims, but the tweet has reignited the political spotlight on the Adani-Modi relationship, which has been a recurrent theme in the Congress party’s criticism.

Political analysts believe this tweet could significantly shape upcoming electoral narratives, especially if more details emerge about the alleged financial links or the U.S. investigation.

As the issue continues to trend on social media, it remains to be seen whether official channels will address or dismiss these explosive allegations.
