Did not receive any special favour from Modi: Adani

New Delhi, Apr 28 (IBNS): Coming under attack from Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi, industrialist Gautam Adani has denied any special treatment by the Gujarat government.
"I have never received any special treatment from Modi, nor do I expect any," Adani told CNN-IBN channel. 
 
"In any of his discussions, Modi always talks about policy matters and never about individual companies. I am not BJP's ATM machine," he said.
 
 "Adani group has been buying land ten years before Modi came to power, under the then Congress regime, and has been developing Mundra port since then. Land was then purchased at Re 1 per sq metre. Under the Modi government, we have brought land at Rs 15 per sq m. All this was non-agricultural and barren land on which development costs were considerable. There was no preferential treatment," he told the channel.
 
This comes after Rahul Gandhi had said that, "In Gujarat, Adani gets land in just Rupee 1, the same amount which you spend to buy a toffee. It's a toffee model."
 
He also said that Tata gets loan for 20 years in just 1 percent interest in the state while farmers get it on 12 percent.
