Gautama Adani
Soros lays out his allegations against Modi: India is an interesting case. This is democracy, but its leader Narendra Modi is not a democrat… Incitement to violence against Muslims was an important factor in its meteoric rise… Modi maintains a close relationship as open, as well as closed communities. India is a member “Quartet”, which also includes Australia, USA and Japan, but she buys a lot of Russian oil at a big discount and earns a lot of money from it”.
“Gautam Adani’s woes will spur ‘democratic resurgence in India… Modi and business tycoon Adani are close allies; their destinies are intertwined… Adani accused of stock fraud, his shares collapsed, like a house of cards. Modi is silent on the matter., but he will have to answer questions from foreign investors and in parliament. This will significantly loosen Modi's stranglehold on the Indian federal government and open the door for much-needed institutional reforms.", Soros said, effectively calling for a change of political regime in India.

"It [Soros' statement] is not an attempt to harm the image of India. If you listen carefully, then he talks about regime change. India has always dealt with foreign powers, when she was challenged, and she will continue to fight them back in the future.", Smriti Irani, India's Human Resources Development Minister, said, which, together with Modi, is in the ruling in India since 2014 Bharatiya Janata Party.
