Sitharaman slams Rahul over Tata remarks, warns against spreading distrust

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Wednesday hit out at Rahul Gandhi over his comments on Tata issue, saying the Congress leader is trying to incite business leaders to join him in spreading distrust and toxicity and he should refrain from "politicising" every issue. Accusing Gandhi of repeatedly decrying the successes of Indian industry and entrepreneurs, Sitharaman said the Narendra Modi government values Indian industry as job creators and drivers of economic growth. "Our policies have been tailored to enable enterprise, support industry and encourage investment," Sitharaman said in reply to a post on X by Rahul Gandhi, in which he claimed, "Tata is being criminally destroyed, and no business leader dares say a word". Sitharaman, in her reply, said: "Being the LoP @RahulGandhi, I suggest you refrain from politicising every issue. Also, casually labelling commercial and legal matters as criminal is unacceptable. You have repeatedly decried the successes of Indian industry &

Tata Group being criminally destroyed, alleges Rahul Gandhi amid feud

Tata Group is being criminally destroyed, and no business leader dares say a word, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi alleged on Wednesday, asserting that "we will ensure justice for these crimes". Gandhi's remarks come amid Tata Group's bitter dispute over Tata Sons' leadership. The conflict has already split trustees and spilled into the Tata Sons boardroom as well. Earlier this week, Tata Trusts chairman Noel Tata challenged the resolution to reappoint N Chandrasekaran as the chairman of Tata Sons, which was passed at the September 17 board meeting of the holding company of the country's largest conglomerate. In a post on X, Gandhi said, "Tata is being criminally destroyed, and no business leader dares say a word. How long will you stay silent? Until they own you?" Indian business is not Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah's plaything, the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha said. "You lack courage. We don't. We will ensure justice for these crimes," Gandhi ...

India economy strong; energy security, jobs key to growth: N Chandrasekaran

India's economy is robust in a world that is uncertain and difficult, and multiple indicators show that the country is in a stable and strong position, Tata Sons Chairman N Chandrasekaran said on Monday and highlighted that energy security, advanced manufacturing jobs and investment in human capital are "critical" for sustaining long-term growth. He noted that the Viksit Bharat 2047 vision has percolated across multiple aspects of the country. Delivering on the vision, he said, will require inclusive and sustainable development, built on world-class infrastructure, institutions and intellectual property. "... All three will be critical," he said, addressing the Indian Foundation for Quality Management (IFQM) Symposium 2026. Chandrasekaran -- who was recently handed his third five-year term at the helm as Tata Sons Chairman amid an intense boardroom battle-- further said the Indian economy is doing very well and, over the last several years, has consistently exceeded expectations by
