As I'd said a few days ago, we're looking at a real possibility of a "too-big-to-fail" bank going bust.

Today's #BankMerger by the Modi govt. proves that.

Public money is being used to fill the hole made by Anil Ambani, Nirav Modi & Mehun Choksi. (1/9)
Merged banks include Syndicate Bank, PNB, Union Bank & Canara Bank.

Syndicate Bank is owed 1225 crores by Anil Ambani.

PNB has a hole of 11,200 crores due to the Nirav Modi fraud.

Union Bank & Canara Bank are part of a group that's owed 42,000 crores by Anil Ambani. (2/9)
