Y'day, we saw how Modi appointed M/s SARC & Associates of BJP's Sunil Kumar Gupta as "independent" auditor for PM CARES.

Some of u pointed out that he also audits PMNRF.

But the clincher?

This co. was abruptly appointed as auditor for PMNRF only last year (2019).

Here's the PMNRF audited account statement for 2009-2010.

As you can see, the auditors are Thakur, Vaidyanath, Aiyar & co.

This was about 10 years ago.

Now lets skip 2 years and look at 2012-13.

Again, the auditors are still Thakur, Vaidyanath, Aiyar & co.

This was the final year of the tenure of the previous UPA govt.

Now, even after the Modi govt took over, in 2016, 2017, and 2018, the auditors continued to remain Thakur, Vaidyanath, Aiyar & co.

The auditor, therefore, remained the same for 10 years.

And now, suddenly, in 2019 (last year), the auditors were abruptly changed and SARC & Associates were appointed as auditors for PMNRF.

This same company has also been appointed 2 months ago as auditors for PM-CARES.

Why has this man's company SARC & Associates suddenly been favored & appointed as an auditor in 2019 for PMNRF & in 2020 for PM-CARES?

Why is a man with close links to Modi & BJP leaders being called an "independent auditor"?

Is money being embezzled from PMNRF as well?

PS: In one of the images, auditor Sunil Kumar Gupta is seen posing with BJP's Union Minister @ianuragthakur.

Surprisingly, in that pic (attached here), u also see former Indian cricketer Kapil Dev.

Look at the 2nd image (from the Delhi election campaign) & you'll realize why.
