Rajnath Singh's swipe at Trump: Sabke Boss, doesn't like India's rise, can't stop us
Targeting US President Donald Trump over the doubling of tariffs and for calling India a 'dead' economy, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, without taking names, said Sunday that 'there are some people' who think they are 'Sabke Boss' and, because 'they do not like the rapid development of India', are trying to make Indian goods expensive. He is the first senior minister of the Modi government to target the Trump administration following the US President's unilateral action against India in the middle of negotiations for a trade deal. Speaking in Madhya Pradesh's Raisen district where he laid the foundation stone of the Rs 1,800-crore BEML rail hub manufacturing unit, Singh said, 'When we used to say that we would become the world's largest economy, people used to make fun of us. They used to laugh. Today, the entire world has accepted that India is moving forward fastest in the world under Modi's leadership. Everyone has accepted this reality.' 'Kuch log hain, jo Bharat ka vikas jitni teji ke saath ho raha hai, unhe raas nahin aa raha hai. Unhe achcha nahin lag raha hai: Sabke Boss toh hum hain, Bharat kaise itni teji ke saath badh raha hai? (There are some people who do not like the rapid development of India. They don't like it: We are the boss of everyone, how is India growing so rapidly?),' he said. He said there is an effort to make India-made products expensive so that they are not bought by consumers in other countries. 'There are many who are trying to do something so that when things made by Indians in India go to other countries, they become more expensive than things made in those countries… When things made by Indians on Indian soil become expensive, people in other parts of the world will not buy them. This effort is being made,' he said. Singh said 'the speed at which India is moving forward… no power in the world can now stop India from becoming a major power in the world'. He cited the example of India's rising defence exports. 'Our condition in the defence sector was such that earlier almost everything was made in other countries of the world. They were made by foreigners. Their capital was invested. And when we needed something, we used to go and buy everything from other countries of the world. Whether it was aircraft, weapons, platforms, whatever, we used to buy everything from other countries… Now, we are not only making many of these things on Indian soil… not only are we fulfilling our own needs, but we are also exporting to other countries… Countries of the world are buying our goods.' In 2014, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi began his first term, Singh said India's defence exports were Rs 600 crore. 'You will be happy to know now we are exporting defence items worth more than Rs 24,000 crore. This is India's strength. This is the new defence sector of the new India, and exports are continuously increasing.' He said the youth of the country are using technology to make 'many of our defence-related weapons, platforms, bombs, cannons, shells and missiles'.

Meet Indian billionaire, was once worth Rs 200000000000, owned multiple flats in Burj Khalifa, now bankrupt after selling his Rs 12400 crore company for just Rs 74 due to…
BR Shetty was once one of the riches men in the world. (File) BR Shetty story: While there are scores of rags to riches stories of people building successful businesses from scratch and earning a large amount of wealth, rarely does one across the opposite of a such a story, where a billionaire tycoon fell into oblivion after bankruptcy and lost a major portion of his fortune. The downfall of BR Shetty, an Indian-born businessman, who once owned several companies in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), had net worth of over Rs 20,000 crore and lived a life of prime luxury– is one such rare tale which documents the rise and fall of a billionaire tycoon, and shows how one critical error can ruin a man and send him tumbling into the depths of obscurity. Who is BR Shetty? Bavaguthu Raghuram Shetty, or BR Shetty as he is popularly known, was born in a middle-income home in Udupi, Madras Presidency, then British India (now Karnataka, India), on August 1, 1942, and was once counted among the wealthiest people on the planet, ranking on the Forbes list of India's 100 Richest People in 2015, and the 42nd richest person in 2019. In 1973, at the age of 31, BR Shetty immigrated to Dubai in search of better opportunities, where he started his career as a medical representative, and began selling medicines as a door-to-door salesman. However, within a brief period, BR Shetty, who had arrived in Dubai with just $8 to his name, developed contacts with several wealthy and influential people in the UAE, and a few years later, established UAE's first private healthcare provider, New Medical Center Health (NMC), in Dubai. How BR Shetty established UAE's first private hospital? The NMC hospital was managed by Shetty's wife, Chandrakumari Shetty, who was the only doctor in the clinic, at the time. Today, NMC is the largest private healthcare provider in the UAE with over four million patients annually across 45 facilities spread over 12 cities and 8 countries, including UAE, KSA, Oman, Spain, Italy, Denmark, Colombia, and Brazil. NMC is also the first healthcare company from the Gulf Cooperation Countries (GCC) and the first company from Abu Dhabi to be listed on the premium segment of the London Stock Exchange and was part of the coveted FTSE 100 Index. However, the firm was de-listed from London Stock Exchange and removed from FTSE 100 index, following a request from its board of directors, and due to the on-going investigation of alleged financial irregularities. What other businesses did Shetty build? Apart from NMC, BR Shetty also founded the UAE Exchange, a company dealing in remittance, foreign exchange, and bill payment services. During the late 70s, Shetty observed that Indian expatriates living in UAE faced difficulties in sending money to their families back home in India, and thus landed upon the idea to establish the UAE Exchange, which in 2016, opened 800 offices in 31 countries. In 2003, BR Shetty founded NMC Neopharma, a UAE-based pharmaceutical manufacturer, which was inaugurated by the then President of India, A. P. J. Abdul Kalam in Abu Dhabi. What triggered BR Shetty's downfall? Over the years, BR Shetty's wealth ballooned thanks to owing to his diversified and successful business ventures which ranged from health, finance, to real estate, and capital investment. At one point, BR Shetty had a net worth of $3 billion (around Rs 20,000 crore), making him one of the wealthiest men globally. The Indian-born business tycoon lived a life of opulence, owned private jets and a fleet of Rolls Royce vehicles, and even bought two entire floors in the lavish Burj Khalifa, besides several luxurious villas across Dubai. However, fate took a cruel turn when in 2019, Muddy Waters Research levelled damning allegations against BR Shetty's companies. In a post on X (former Twitter), the US-based short-seller posted a report revealing that Shetty's firm owed a $1billion debt which was kept secret from the company's investors. How US short-seller report ruined BR Shetty? In its report, Muddy Waters Research alleged that Shetty had hid the debt from his investors and defrauded them by exaggerating cash flow figures. Following the allegations, the shares of Shetty's companies went into freefall, ultimately forcing him sell his Rs 12,478 crore company to the Israel-UAE consortium for just Rs 74. In 2020, amid investigations, BR Shetty resigned from his board position, and on April 8 that year, NMC Health went into Administration in the United Kingdom due to concerns over corporate governance and a share price in freefall. In the same month, Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank filed a criminal complaint against NMC Health with the UAE Attorney General's Office, and days later, the Central Bank of UAE ordered the freezing of Shetty's bank accounts and the blacklisting of his firms. The embattled businessman is also under investigation in India, with agencies initiating a probe to identify potential risks to Indian banks. According to reports, Shetty's current net worth is a minute fraction of his earlier $3.5 billion fortune, consequently leading Forbes to drop him from its annual list of billionaires in 2020.
