After the Lok Sabha elections concluded, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi launched a scathing attack on Narendra Modi and Amit Shah regarding the stock market crash. He stated, “During the elections, the Prime Minister, Home Minister, and Finance Minister made remarks on the stock market, suggesting rapid growth and encouraging people to invest in shares. On June 1, misleading exit polls were circulated by the media. BJP’s internal survey projected 220 seats, while other agencies forecasted 200 to 220 seats. Subsequently, on June 3, the stock market experienced a significant downturn.”
Rahul Gandhi questioned, “Why did the PM advise the public to invest? Why did Amit Shah urge people to purchase shares? If there is any link between the BJP and these foreign investors, what is it? We call for a JPC investigation into this matter. The roles of Narendra Modi and Amit Shah must undergo scrutiny.”
The Congress leader declared, “This issue is substantial. It concerns Adani, but it’s significant beyond that. It directly implicates the Prime Minister. Key figures within the BJP are implicated in this scandal. We seek to ascertain if there was any collaboration between them and the entities behind the exit polls. We believe that the Prime Minister and the Home Minister are directly implicated, hence we advocate for a JPC inquiry.”
Rahul Gandhi asserted, “The top leaders of the BJP conveyed to retail investors the message to purchase stocks. They were aware that the exit polls were inaccurate and BJP wouldn’t secure a majority, hence they proceeded with this. Rahul Gandhi highlighted a loss of 30 lakh crores and alleged that those in power have profited from it. Consequently, we call for a JPC inquiry.”
