Nirav Modi's and PNB Scam Warnings Disregarded by Raghuram Rajan, Neither Rahul Gandhi nor P Chidambaram Received a Head's Up from Him
A controversial post, first circulated in March 2018 and debunked by fact-checking organisation Boom Live, has resurfaced on social media in the lead-up to the 2019 Indian general elections. The post alleges a potential conflict of interest or impropriety on the part of Rahul Gandhi and P Chidambaram regarding Nirav Modi's loans, suggesting that loan approvals for the diamond merchant continued till May 2014 with their involvement.
The post also claims that Raghuram Rajan, former Governor of the Reserve Bank of India, was forced to remain silent about Nirav Modi and was even promoting him to secure loans until May 2014. However, Rajan has denied these claims, stating that he never warned Rahul Gandhi and P Chidambaram about Nirav Modi and that social media often attributes false information to him.
It is important to note that there is no verified public information identifying specific individuals who allegedly forced Rajan to remain silent about Nirav Modi. Furthermore, the allegation that loan approvals for Nirav Modi continued till May 2014 has been debunked and is considered false.
The post's politically charged claims, intended to influence public opinion, are not supported by any evidence. Raghuram Rajan's denial casts doubt on the claim of a potential conflict of interest or impropriety on the part of Rahul Gandhi and P Chidambaram.
