Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition (LoP) Rahul Gandhi on Monday attacked Donald Trump over the stock market situation and said that the United States (US) President has caused the stock market to tumble.
“The US President has led to a tumble in the stock market. Less than 1 per cent of the people here have their money invested in the stock market, which means the stock market is not a field for you. Unlimited money is made in it, but you don't get the benefit of it," the Congress lawmaker remarked while addressing the Samvidhan Suraksha Sammelan in Patna.
