In Adani-Hindenburg row, TMC MP Mahua Moitra has emerged as the leading critic of the Central Government over its handling of the Adani Group fiasco. She has once again targeted the Centre over state-run Insurance Behemoth, LIC’s investment was in the Hindenburg – Adani Group. LIC has invested Rs 36,474.78 crore in seven Adani stocks. Further she has alleged that till last month, its investment was in profit. However, as the shares of Adani Group companies tanked due to a damning report by US based short seller Hindenburg, LIC’s investment has now become red and turned negative.

To reiterate her stand, Moitra shared a report on LIC’s investment and asked insurance regulator IRDAI, why it was lax and not probing the insurer’s transactions in Adani,
“Rs 3200 cr loss in Adani shares for @LICIndiaForever so far. @nsitharaman #IRDAI what pressure is there to support Adani at cost of Indian public? We need answers.”
