Beleaguered liquor baron Vijay Mallya on Sunday, 31 March, cited Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent interview to assert that the Centre has recovered more than what he owed the banks.
In a tweet, Mallya asserted the prime minister has “taken his name” and confirmed full recovery, and questioned why the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) spokespersons were “continuing their rhetoric.”
He also slammed that BJP for saying that he ran away from the country, while ignoring the fact that he has been a United Kingdom resident since 1992.
In an interview to interview to Republic Bharat Editor-in-Chief Arnab Goswami, PM Modi had claimed that his government recovered almost double the amount that Mallya owed to the banks.
Mallya had recently appealed against his extradition to India after fleeing from the country more than three years ago, in March 2016.
