The BJP higher up carried out this stock market scam and Prime Minister Modi and Home Minister Shah were directly involved, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi alleged on Thursday evening. Meeting the media at the party headquarters, Rahul Gandhi said the Prime Minister and Home Minister went on to give investment advice to people, despite knowing that the exit polls were wrong.

Here is breaking down Rahul Gandhi's allegations from Thursday's presser against PM Modi and other BJP leaders.
1. "Why did PM Modi and Union Home Minister give specific investment advice to the five crore families investing in the stock market? Is it their job to give investment advice?"
2. "Why were both interviews given to the same media owned by the same business group which is also under SEBI investigation for manipulating stock?"
3. "What is the connection between the BJP, the fake exit pollsters and the dubious foreign investors who invested one day before the exit polls were announced and made a huge profit at the cost of five crore salaries? We demand a JPC into this. We are convinced that this is a scam."
4. "Somebody has made thousands of crores of Rupees at the cost of Indian retail investors and the Prime Minister and the Union Home Minister have given an indication to buy. So we demand today a joint parliamentary committee to investigate this."
