George Soros, who hedges bets against many countries, has now made known his ill intentions in the democratic processes of India. Soros wants a meek government that is flexible to his needs to execute his plans, she said. Irani charged that the business tycoon has pronounced funding of over a billion dollars to attack PM Modi.
Warning people siding with Soros' ideology, the BJP leader said that such forces will be met with the unified strength of India under the leadership of PM Modi. For the uninitiated, Soros Thursday said that India's economy will be weakened by the Modi-Adani partnership and that it will lead to a democratic revival in the country. With this, the 92-year-old billionaire had once again brought back the infamous Adani-Modi equation after the Hindenburg Research which rocked the current session of the Parliament.
