Every now and then, Rahul Gandhi comes on twitter with his loyalists and rant-
Govt is working for Adani-Ambani

Let's deep dive into congress and its deep ties with Ambani family and how many times Congress leadership benefited Ambani & took advantage also.

After Partition, Indian cotton industry started to face a massive jolt as most of the cotton growing fields were in Pakistan, while the milling units were in India.

Only the rich who could afford to import cotton from Pakistan survived. Dirubhai Ambani benefitted from this.

The book Polyester Price by Hamish Mc Donald was banned in India for the simple reason that it describes every detail as to how Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi played in the hands of Dirubhai Ambani changing laws, polices and rules to favour him in every way possible.

The book describes the plight of the cotton industry in Bombay after partition which literally destroyed the cotton market.

Ambani caught this trend and started the spices and polyester business, he slowly got close to Indira Gandhi.

His relation with Congress went to such an extent that he went out of the way to help Indira Gandhi after she lost the 1977 elections because of the Emergency. Dhirubhai remained close to her in India.

He directly helped her win the 1980 elections which made him distance...

away from other Political Parties.

He even shared dias and took a rally with Indira Gandhi after her win. The new circle of Ambani, Indira Gandhi, Pranab Mukherjee and Dhawan established themselves in both political and business filed.

Dirubhai literally bribed everyone from peon to top bureaucrat and Congress party for all its political stunts. He is said to have extracted every favour from Indira Gandhi to expand his business.

He imported machines without paying a single rupee tax.
7/n

He got all policies twisted to suit his brand and standards which whitewashed all other competitors except Bombay Dyeing.

Bombay Dyeing was another famous and well established company which was owned by Neville Wadia, the son in law of none other than Mohammed Ali Jinnah.

After Indira's death, Rajiv Gandhi got more close to Nusli Wadia( Neville Wadia's son) & neglected Dirubhai Ambani. The one reason Rajiv Gandhi kept Dirubhai at arms distance because of his close links with Pranab Mukherjee who had then posed as a competitor for PM post.

However, the Bacchhan’s family which was close to Rajiv Gandhi played a crucial role in patching things between Dirubhai Ambani and Rajiv Gandhi. Then started the second innings of Dirubhai Ambani who literally stalled the DMT projects of Nusli Wadia.
10/n

His influence on government was so much that he got Nusli Wadia arrested in a passport issue. Unable to bear the humiliating defeat Nusli Wadia left the country. Finally Dirubhai Ambani was the only player left in Mumbai who dominated the Cotton business.

Dirubhai Ambani later extended his muscles in every sector from telecom to petroleum to chemicals with his political and bureaucratic control which made them one of the top most industrialists in the country.
12/n

Today if Ambanis have to be thankful to anyone, it is definitely the Gandhi family which literally changed every rule, policy for Ambanis!

So, Rahul Gandhi should stop acting like a 10 year old kid and understand that it his family who helped Ambanis the most.
