On a query on the allegations against the Gautam Adani group by a US-based investment research firm and subsequent upheaval in the stock market, Nath, a former Union commerce and industries minister, batted for a debate and thorough probe.

Speaking on the Adani issue, Nath said the Congress has demanded a discussion in the Lok Sabha.
"I an of the view that a complete debate and thorough probe must take place," he said.
Adani group stocks have taken a massive hit after US-based activist short-seller Hindenburg Research made a litany of allegations including fraudulent transactions and share price manipulation. The group has dismissed the charges as lies.
Nath claimed people were unhappy with the Bharatiya Janata Party government in MP and it would be shown the door in the Assembly polls.
He also said a recent investors summit (held in Indore) did not yield much by way of investments despite the claims made by CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan.
