Half of Modi's Cabinet ministers avoid stock market, prefer land and fixed deposits instead
According to ThePrint's analysis, approximately half of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Cabinet ministers hold no stock market portfolios, instead investing in fixed deposits, land, jewelry, and cattle. This pattern emerges despite India's stock market currently standing at 2,370 consecutive trading days of gains — a streak that, if sustained, would be the longest bull run in the market's history.
