It is also not a good idea for a Prime Minister to be perceived as being close to one businessman, even though it is not likely that he favours only one of them.
Other Adani stocks like ACC, Ambuja Cement, Adani Total Gas and its recent media acquisition NDTV, however, closed in green, showing some resistance to the volatility.

Many of you might think I got something so wrong in National Interest pieces written this year. I might disagree! But some deserve a Mea Culpa. I’d deal with the most recent this week.
Sure, wave the flag all you want, and bash the US too while you are at it, but why not also demand the Indian regulators for greater scrutiny? Why does it have to be a US regulator who sheds light on Adani’s dubious deals? Why is SEBI completely missing in action? Or is Ms. Buch’s presence there the problem? We have accepted corruption as the norm that when someone else shines a light on us, all we have for defense is nationalism and whataboutry. Meanwhile the tax payer gets cheated. In this what Amtritkaal is supposed to be?
Businessmen can support but if they do it they should be open about it and not hide it like Adani and BJP.
That is why Electoral bonds idea was wrong, it needed more transparency. Voters should be aware which business is donating money to which politician as they do in US so that an informed decision can be made as a voter. It prevents under the table favours also since the donation info is available in public domain. Transparency is what our political funding system lacks
If US businessmen can cosy up to politicians why can’t others?
Is Elon Musk not the right hand man of Donald Trump? Is it not acknowledged world-wide that Mr. Trump is an utterly corrupt businessman himself? Is it not widely known that Mr. Trump, as a human being, is immoral and unprincipled to the core?

Had to take an obligatory swipe at China eh? China isn’t the one blocking Indian companies from competing on the international stage or prosecuting Adani. But the typical brainwashed Indian journalist can’t take the US name in vain without invoke China as well.
Reason is adani is associated with strategic overseas interest. Like building ports airports power plant in Africa Latin America and global South. So, he get automatically involved with govt.
