It's not rain..Blaming it on opening of Dams...

See the rainfall in mm in KSEB dams between 14 to 17 of August 2018

#KeralaFloods
This is almost one third of the total rainfall Kerala used to receive for an entire year!

But blame it on dams!!
14 means 14/08/2018
15 means 15/08/2018

They are not 2014 or 2015

And great IMD was clueless about this extreme rainfall which poured in this 4 days between 14-17 August 2018!!

800 mm to 950 mm.

Can you believe it?

It's all in public domain too

Imaginary savings!!!

They claim that record income tax collections, claim record GST collection, raised petrol tax to the high, Spectrum & Coal re-aunctioned & got lakhs of crores..

Still, they dont have money to pay the rent of leased aircrafts for PM's world tours.
Please listen to @databaazi, @iam_anandv and @digitaldutta. They all busted these lies regularly!!

Why GoI depends on world bank to sell their claims? Put the raw data on the public domain for scrutiny.
Also listen to @roadscholarz too. All these people are challenging these tall claims consistently here!!!

Most hilarious news of the day!!

That "chip" note, which claimed to end fake currency & kill black money is now going to have a premature death..

Even Tughluq cant stop laughing 🤣 theprint.in/economy/india-…
Now my prognosis:

Dont fall into the news that these notes are going to be withdrawn, they will stay there!!

RBI is in a dilemma with these ₹2000 notes, which used as a quick fix solution, yep, they are facing the proverbial situation of between devil with deep sea.
₹2000 notes was a quick fix solution during DeMon to replace ₹1000 notes, which are in circulation, numbering 6.858 billion, which constituted 38% of the total Currency in Circulation (CIC).

Why?

If you change the denomination, you should need only 3.429 billion ₹2000 notes

Let me rewind some of my columns on #DemonetisationDisaster

My last year's detailed take in @frontline_india on

"BLUSTER AS A POLICY"

frontline.in/cover-story/bl…
I concluded that article with the following observations

#DemonetisationDisaster
Of course, in that article I have given an estimate of how much currency is seized as black money due to #DemonetisationDisaster

Warning: long thread about energy matters, focussing on how they affect AB. Thanks & credit to @politicalham (of @energi_news) who gave a talk in Sherwood Park last evening, organized by @CarlaHowatt and @fionabeland. Thanks to @suepeac and Grace Wong whose notes I’ve used
And I’m going to endeavour to make these comments as non-partisan as I can, because this issue is imp and needs to transcend political boundaries
Alberta's oil - particularly that coming from Suncor and CNRL - is going to be cost competitive and carbon competitive with the rest of the world, save Saudi Arabia (because they produce sweet oil, a completely different beast).

#Thread #KeralaFloods Detailed thread to document the historic efforts of various online groups in rescue and relief operations. Trust me, Whatsapp and Google sheets were the powerful weapons we had. Pic: An online control room set by NRKs in house at Abu Dhabi (1/n)
It was the time we truly realised the power of social media and instant messaging services with regard to disaster management. Many were stranded on roof-tops without any other contact to the world other than their mobile phones. Whatsapp brilliantly solved the issue. (2/n)
Before going in detail let me point out the problem statements. 1) Govt issued some helpline numbers but most of them were busy with numerous calls 2) Thousands of SOS requests flooded in social media which were not addressed in a systematic manner, hence turned spams (3/n)

#Thread Went to Vizhinjam coast to meet the fishermen who took part in rescue mission in #KeralaFloods . We were filled with positive energy and happiness hearing their experiences (1/n)
We dedicated almost 2 pages for celebrating their mission.On Thursday 8.10 pm Fr.Justin Judin,vicar of Vizhinjam church announced the requirement for boats through public announcement system. In 20 minutes almost 50 boats and 100 fishermen were assembled. Military like formation!
Just see the Engine fan of a fishing boat which participated in the #KeralaFloods rescue mission. Most of the boats are damaged and they won't be able to go to sea for a while. I was blown away by their sacrifice (3/n)

#Keralafloods
As you can see the flood hit areas in Kerala, they are all rich, almost all. Only 10% may be poor.
They don't need any help in cash or kind.
Please stop sending food or other things.
Security forces are doing the needful.
All they need is labour force, once the water recedes.
Kerala has no labours, though they pay high wages.
Electricians, plumbers, carpenters, painters, masons, domestic helpers are needed urgently by Keralites.
Commies & Kerala Govt are begging for funds for their own luxuries.
Most of the development in Kerala is done by common people.
Even the International airports are the contribution of common citizens in Kerala.

#KeralaFloods might hv an astral connection, as it is believed #Kerala d land of #vamana celebrates every yr #Onam around this time, Onam falls on d birth #constellation of vamana i.e #Shravana nakshtra in which we had d longest total lunar eclipse of this century on 27/28 July
Like at a personal level for one who is born or associated with shravana constellation or Nakshtra d #Eclipse affects individually similarly it affects a region in this case #kerala at a mundane level astrally on human affairs that runs across d southern belt of #westernghats
Also #Kerala is a land blessed by d #serpents & d reason for its fertility is directly related to d blessings bestowed by #Nagas on #Parasurama in a barren land infested with sea salt, hence not respecting d blessings by cutting down forests on large scale in d name of developmnt

India has seen the legendary U-Turns of Modi Govt in the last four years. Perhaps, even Modi is beaten in the U-turn game by @vijayanpinarayi in #Kerala, in just about one-third of the time.
#DoubleFaced #IrattaMukham #VijayakumarForChengannur
In this thread, let us look at the transformation of a so called ‘Double-hearted’ Govt, to a ‘Double-faced’ Govt through its numerous U-turns and actions reeking of double standards. #DoubleFaced #IrattaMukham #VijayakumarForChengannur
While the CM is vocal in his support for the farmers agitating in other states, Govt used Police force to defeat a farmer’s agitation against acquisition of farmlands and used Party goons to burn down a pandal set by the agitators in Keezhatoor! 3/  #DoubleFaced #IrattaMukham
