Sehwag Slams PM Modi, Then Deletes Tweet (Image:X/virendersehwag)
Former cricketer Virender Sehwag shared a story on X about his staff member’s stock market investment gone wrong. The tweet criticising PM Modi and his government was deleted after an hour on Thursday (today). He stated that the staff member, a fan of PM Narendra Modi invested Rs 80 lakh in three PSU banks (Canara Bank, Bank of Baroda, and Union Bank) mentioned by PM Modi in June. However, three months later, the share prices dropped by over 20% and his firm lost a whopping amount on the invested shares.
Sehwag claimed that the stocks never recovered to their original value after his staff member invested despite the Nifty index rising 10%. He also sought expert advice for his panicked staff member who invested a major portion of his net worth. Some minutes after he posted, Sehwag deleted the tweet that some of the social media users asked him to repost it saying that it is okay to question the government and the Prime Minister citing that such genuine questions and concerns should be addressed. Sehwag has also been to criticism over his several posts about different topics on X various times.
Hello @virendersehwag, It’s ok to question the govt and the PM. We are not under the emergency rule you see. Why delete your tweet with genuine questions/concerns? Be brave. Tweet again. https://t.co/hXBpX9xwBF

The sudden delete has also sparked controversy which raised eyebrows and led to speculation about whether Sehwag was pressured to delete the tweet. Social media users also stated that Sehwag highlighted the gap between the economy’s apparent success and the struggles ordinary people face and the cause behind his deletion of such a post that carries genuine and serious concern and information.
