The Yuvajana Sramika Rythu (YSR) Congress Party clarified on Friday that there is no direct agreement between Andhra Pradesh (AP) distribution companies (DISCOMs) and the Adani Group. This statement came in response to allegations linking Adani Group chairman Gautam Adani and others to an alleged bribery scheme, as charged by US prosecutors.

The controversy intensified after Congress leader Jairam Ramesh criticised the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI), a Government of India entity under the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, accusing it of being a key player in the alleged corruption scandal.
