Calling it a "₹30 lakh crore stock scam" and questioning why both PM Narendra Modi and home minister Amit Shah had given «investment advices» during their mid-poll interviews and predicted major stock market boom on the election result day, Gandhi demanded the committee must investigate the role of «higher ups in the BJP leadership, exit pollsters and dubious foreign investors» who benefited financially in this «stock scam».
The Congress leader also stressed on PM Modi particularly speaking about the stock market in his interview to a TV channel owned by an industrialist already facing a SEBI probe.
Addressing a press conference, Gandhi said, «For the first time, we noted that during elections, the Prime Minister and the Union home minister commented on the stock market. The PM said that the stock market is rising at a great speed. The home minister said that on June 4 the stock market will be on the rise and you all should invest. A similar thing was said by the finance minister… Amit Shah said buy shares before June 4; on May 19, PM Modi said the stock market will break records on June 4.»
