Vijay Mallaya says ‘why Narendra Modi isn’t letting banks accept my loan settlement?’ 

Vijay Mallya.

A week after Prime Minister Narendra Modi made a scathing attack at the runaway liquor baron Vijay Mallya, the businessman, on Thursday, tweeted and urged Modi to take his money against the loans extended to his companies.

Mallaya tweeted:

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.

Mallya is currently contesting India’s extradition bid in UK courts. A special Prevention of Money Laundering Act Court in Mumbai had declared, for the first time, Vijay Mallya a “fugitive economic offender” under the Fugitive Economic Offenders’ Act, 2018.
