Few day’s back there was an issue with the telecom provider and the services stopped for some time. Now which would be the companies which got impacted the most, the telecom service provider, the answer is no.

Stocks of the new political order: 4 stocks from irrigation pumps and allied sector
It is not that earlier farmers were not getting money under schemes initiated by the Modi government. But the first file which was signed by PM Modi after taking over office for the third time was related to releasing money to the farmers. While there is no doubt that focus on increasing farmer income and boosting agricultural productivity has been on the priority list of the government for the last ten years. But sometimes, a change in the political equation ensures that messaging and amplification of that policy changes is done more in terms of numbers and more effectively. There is a greater likelihood that more money would be pushed toward rural India and given the past track record of it is very likely that policy measures to boost productivity in agriculture will come. Which means another round of re-rating of some stocks in the chain which works in the rural economy.
