NEW DELHI: Trinamool Congress Rajya Sabha MP Saket Gokhale has posted on social media X that exit poll results are linked to market manipulations accusing a certain “major exit poll company” of insider trading.
The RTI activist turned-MP said on his post that he will be writing to SEBI with evidence, demanding that an investigation into the exit-poll related “stock market scam.”
Gokhale on Monday posted, “Very important update on exit poll scam:
As you all know, exit poll companies broadcast FALSE predictions about election results which led to stock markets surging on 3rd Jun and then crashing on 4th Jun.”
Posting copies of financial statements of a certain exit poll company that he did not name, Gokhale said, “These are copies from the financial statements of a MAJOR exit poll company for the last 3 years.This company has regularly been investing in the markets and generating cash flows of 3-4 crores every year. This is a matter of a HUGE conflict of interest because when exit polls broadcast by the company have effects on the market, they are legally not allowed to invest in the markets.”

Gokhale goes beyond to say the “Question is: Did a major exit poll agency continue to invest heavily in the stock markets on 3rd & 4th June after broadcasting FALSE exit poll predictions? If yes, that is clear INSIDER TRADING – a major crime… Will be writing to SEBI with all the evidence continuing our demand that there must be an URGENT investigation into the exit poll-stock market scam of the BJP.”
Calling this a “scam of over ₹30 lakh crores” Gokhale points out that “ordinary investors have lost money,” and demanded that “SEBI must investigate this scam immediately & bring the culprits to justice.”
