I wouldn't call that minimizing. That's just how the nexus between politics and industry works in India. The kind of business practices Adani did is very common in India, and they 100% will get bailed out by the LIC or other PSUs, if not for bhaichara but for the fact that the optics of "Firangi" bankers attacking a Desi company and "insulting" Indian economic sovereignty are bad. Throw in some references to the East India Company, the Brits, and American sanctions against India in the 70s and 90s and that makes it easy to spin this story into one of economic nationalism. Welcome to the developing world.
edit:
Also, this sadly is not the first nor the last instance of this nexus arising in Indian politics. Not to minimize the Adani scandal, but you a similar issue arise in the Manmohan Singh govt (the rise and fall of DLF), the Vajpayee govt (IAI/Rafale's Barak Scandal), and so on and so on.
That said, usually, when news like this comes up in India, it tends to herald the looming end of a political era.
