Why it was GASLIGHTING of people in an election rally using narcissistc ploys (in 10 points)

1. Projection & Victim Blaming (I'm the victim. You are violent)
2. Deception & inversion (You're being lied to by urban naxals. Policemen are under attack)
3. Veiled threats (Respect Parliament for passing CAB, Don’t harass the poor)
4. Falsification & Deflection (All but Indian Muslims love me. We have never let paperwork come in the way)
5. White lies (There’s been no talk of NRC. There are no detention camps)
6. Megalomania (refers to self repeatedly & in third person)
7. Apathy (Nothing to allay fears. No word on pple killed in protests)
8. Diversion (1.5 hours but no talk of economy or any of people’s real challenges. Worries about plastic & ask people clean colonies instead etc.)

#Thread As part of public sector transformation, today we signed consultancy engagements with E & Y for a review of the public sector compensation. This will include development of pay-for-performance compensation, a concept that has been agreed to by Permanent Secretaries.
The review will also seek to establish an internally consistent and internally equitable compensation system based on a unified job evaluation tool. It will seek to simplify, streamline public sector compensation and make it more transparent.
This is a huge task that we could not undertake without the time and space permitted by the 4 year agreement with public sector unions.

Been reading a bunch of Annual Reports last few days. Creating this thread to capture and share interesting tidbits from the ones I am reading this season. Will be updated on an ongoing basis next few weeks.

1/n
2. Few bluechips have reported their #EconomicValueAdded (EVA), a good measure of shareholder value creation. HUL AR does a great job of explaining details. EVA as % avg capital employed over a period of time can be a good leading indicator. Pidilite also shares EVA details
3. Chairman's letter+MD&A section of top 2/3 key players provide great overview of economy and sector dynamics.
Few suggested section reads are HUL, Kotak, PEL, Sterlite Tech, Everest Ind+Visaka, Godrej Prop, OCCL, Hikal, Aavas, RBL, L&T Infotech, Zydus Wellness.
