"1. Hug PM Modi, 2. Be seen with him in Davos," tweeted Gandhi.

He added that the same "clout" is used to steal Rs. 12,000 crore.

"Slip out of the country like (Vijay) Mallya, while the Government looks the other way," Gandhi said.

The action comes after the Income Tax department raided Modi's offices in Delhi, Surat and Jaipur.

Nirav Modi, an Indian born jewellery designer and founder of USD 2.3 billion Firestar Diamond, has designer jewellery boutiques across three continents - in London, New York, Las Vegas, Hawai, Singapore, Beijing and Macau.
