In a no-holds-barred attack,Anil Ambani has accused elder brother of trading their father Dhirubhai’s vision for “corporate greed”,and said Mukesh no longer saw a role for their mother Kokilaben in resolving the gas dispute.
Asserting that he had made sincere efforts at every stage to amicably resolve all issues,but without success,Anil said that “unfortunately,in the pursuit of corporate greed,RIL has even forgotten the vision of the founder chairman (late Dhirubhai Ambani)!”
However,Mukesh refused to be drawn into a public quarrel with his younger brother Anil. “We do not wish to comment on baseless,malicious and wrong accusations,” said a spokesperson for Mukesh Ambani,when asked about Anil’s statement that his elder brother did not visualise any role for mother Kokilaben in settling disputes.
Expressing anguish over Mukesh’s disregard to elders in the family,he said: “My respected elder brother has already made it amply clear both within the family and externally that he does not visualise any further role for my respected mother in resolving this (gas supply dispute) or any other matter.”
It was Kokilaben who oversaw the division of the Reliance empire in 2005,two years after the differences between the two brothers became public.
