New Delhi: Responding to the accusations by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, BJP leader Piyush Goyal on Thursday hit back the leader in the connection between BJP, exit pollsters and foreign investors. Addressing a press conference, Union Minister Piyush Goyal said that the Congress leader is still overcoming his defeat in the Lok Sabha elections.
“Today a big question is arising that what will happen to the promises made by Rahul Gandhi to the mothers and sisters of the country? Will the Congress-ruled states fulfill their promises?”, wrote Piyush Goyal on X as he posted a video of the press conference.
Rahul Gandhi had alleged that there was a loss of lakhs of crores to retail investors due to “fake exit polls” and demanded a Joint Parliamentary Committee probe into the “biggest stock market scam.”
Responding to these accusations, Mr Goyal said that in that the market capitalisation of Indian stocks crossed $5 trillion in the past 19 years of PM Modi’s government.
“We all know equity markets react to various estimates and predictions during any elections, or for that matter any forecasts by banks and institutions. Ups and downs are normal even during a non-event,” he said.
In May this year, market caps of both BSE and NSE-listed companies touched $5 trillion. Market capitalisation or market cap is the total value of a company’s stock, derived at by multiplying the stock price by the number of its outstanding shares.
