The Communist Party of India (CPI) on Thursday demanded that the government cancel all agreements entered into with Adani companies by the previous YSRCP regime and initiate an inquiry by a sitting Supreme Court judge into the Adani corruption scandal.

In a statement, CPI state secretary K. Ramakrishna reiterated the CPI’s claim that the YSRCP government had engaged in large-scale corruption through power deals with Adani companies.

Additionally, a case was registered in the Eastern District Court in New York on October 24 regarding alleged payments made by Gautam Adani, Sagar Adani and others to secure benefits through the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI). It was reported that officials working at various levels in Andhra Pradesh received bribes of ₹1,750 million. The officials who accepted the bribes should be immediately expelled and punished. The case in the New York court highlighted the extent of the corruption involving the Adani group, he said.

Mr. Ramakrishna added that the previous government had entered into MoUs with the Adani group and handed over ports and power contracts to the company. “If Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu is sincere, he should cancel all agreements entered into with Adani by the previous YSRCP government,” he added.
