Congress may not have garnered enough votes to form the government after the election results, but Indian National Congress (INC) leader Rahul Gandhi’s equity market portfolio has been booming as markets zoomed to new record highs after the initial correction. The politician’s overall portfolio stood at Rs 4.56 crore as of June 14 and has gained 7.5% since June 04 when it stood at Rs 4.25 crore.
Though Rahul Gandhi called for a Joint Parliamentary to probe the crash on June 04 which he called “the biggest scam” in the history of India’s stock market, his portfolio has been yielding encouraging returns. Even as he alleged that Narendra Modi, Amit Shah, and Nirmala Sitharaman motivated people to “buy stocks before June 04 as markets will rise sky high,” the current value of his portfolio yielded significant returns 10 days after the election results.
