Mumbai: The Reliance Group has condemned the statements of Rahul Gandhi, while the Congress President has been making remarks on Reliance Group Chairman Anil Ambani.

In a harsh statement, the group stated, “Congress Party President Mr Gandhi, in his typical cavalier fashion has continued his campaign of calumny, disinformation, distortion and malicious lies,” read the statement.

On Saturday, Rahul Gandhi had called the group chairman Anil D Ambani as  allegedly crony capitalist and dishonest businessman.

“We likewise dismiss his latest remark as yet another one of his multiple untruthful utterances, in the heat and dust of his electoral campaign, for which he has recently been facing contempt proceedings in the highest court of the land, the Hon'ble Supreme Court,” he further said.

The statement further read, “We would like to remind Mr Gandhi, that it was during the 10 year Congress led UPA regime between 2004 and 2014 that the Anil Ambani led Reliance Group was awarded projects of over `1,00,000  crores  across diverse key nation building infrastructure sectors such as power, telecom, roads, metro, by a government led by none other than Mr Gandhi’s own political party - the Congress.”
