TIL Desk/Business/London/ Fugitive businessman Vijay Mallya on Thursday asked as to why Prime Minister Narendra Modi was not instructing the banks to take the money he had made available to pay off the public funds lent to Kingfisher. On February 4, the UK Home Office has signed an order approving the extradition of Mallya to India.
“The Prime Ministers last speech in Parliament was brought to my attention. He certainly is a very eloquent speaker. I noticed that he referred to an unnamed person who ran away with 9000 crores. Given the media narrative I can only infer that reference is to me,” Mallya said in a series of tweets.
“Following on from my earlier tweet, I respectfully ask why the Prime Minister is not instructing his Banks to take the money I have put on the table so he can at least claim credit for full recovery of public funds lent to Kingfisher,” he said in a series of tweet.
The reaction from Mallya came after Modi in his last Parliament speech on Wednesday referred to an unnamed person who “ran away” with Rs 9,000 crore. The fugitive liquor baron further claimed that he has made the offer to settle the matter before the high court of Karnataka.
