Rightist forces behind market crash - The Communist Party of India said the historic crash of the stock market on Monday was a deliberate attempt on the part of the rightist forces to create a scare after the change of the government at the Centre.
"Earlier, the Sensex had been artificially boosted up. The BJP was trying to create an impression that India is shining. It has been shown in the elections that it was hard from the truth," A B Bardhan, CPI General Secretary, said here.
"We realise the importance and usefulness of the stock market in present day economy but we also understand that there are certain forces who are creating the speculation and hype," he said adding, "We are not at all scared of this and appeal to all those who have any doubts that we are for stability and stable economic growth that helps the poor and not only a section of the rich."
Even on the question of disinvestment the Sensex had reacted in a similar manner and, "We want to tell that there is no reason for any scare and warn that such steps should not be resorted to, to influence the economic policies of the new government."
Yep, they are intentionally moving their capital away from a legislature that is about to go tax-happy. How insidious!
Foreign investors constitute 2% of total investment in India industry. even if all pull out...the place will not collapse...In fact if the carpetbaggers get out of this panick that would be good in medium term...
The new government is in no position to reverse the policies of last 14 years...Donot see any reasons for this kind of statements....
The days of India begging around for handout are gone foreever....
