Mumbai | Reacting sharply to the stock market crash, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut on Monday launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah, accusing them of enabling corporate control over India's financial system. Raut’s comments come after the Sensex and Nifty witnessed a steep fall, mirroring global market turbulence.
“The market had terribly gone down, but its effect does not seem to reflect on Modiji and Shahji,” Raut said, suggesting a disconnect between the political leadership and the economic distress being felt across the country.
Drawing parallels with the United States, Raut alleged that there is a similar pattern unfolding in India. “There has been an alliance between President Trump and Elon Musk — Musk is controlling the country, the share market, industry, and finance. The same is happening in our country — the stock market and the entire financial industry are being controlled by an industrialist, Modiji, and Amit Shah,” he said, in a thinly veiled reference to business tycoon Gautam Adani.
He further claimed that in several U.S. states, people have taken to the streets to "save democracy", and warned that such revolutionary sentiments could soon rise in India as well.
“People of our country are still andh-bhakts. But when they wake up, they will realise nothing is left in their pocket — everything has been taken away by Adani,” he added.
