George Soros, he said, is "nothing" and his "nonsense" comments can in no way undermine the democracy in the country
A "crazy nut" and an aged "barking dog" is how real estate doyen K.P. Singh described billionaire financier George Soros, who caused an outrage in India after saying the Adani-Hindenburg turmoil would lead to weakening of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's grip on power.
Mr. Singh, who helmed India's biggest listed private real estate company DLF Ltd and is known for plain-speaking, said in an interview with PTI that India has got the best democratically elected Prime Minister, who has been elected with thumping majority not once but twice.
"When you do something well, so many dogs bark. Do you respond to each dog? No. Dogs bark but quieten after some time," he said.
