#NLPrimetime begins!

Some weird shit is going down on @aajtak today. It first said AYUSH Ministry has prohibited ads for Coronil, the medicine launched by Patanjali.

10 seconds later, a wild ad appears for Coronil. ImageImageImage
Anjana Om Kashyap is now interviewing Baba Ramdev about Coronil.

Segment sponsor?

Patanjali of course!

#NLprimetime Image
Here is ABP News also showing the entire segment of Coronil launch, which is as good as a promotion.

Earlier today, guess which company was showing ads for a different segment?

Patanjali of course!

#NLprimetime ImageImage
Republic TV doing a segment on Coronil with Ramdev.

Arnab asked him about the AYUSH Ministry notice, Baba said, "We have clarified everything with the ministry and there will be no problems in the future. We should be proud that India has come up with a cure."

#NLprimetime Image
On News Nation, random screaming about China.

Someone called Dinesh Kumar's tweet flashes saying,"China product should be band"

Because why not.
#NLprimetime Image
People, Deepak Chaurasia has found a way to blame Mulayam Singh Yadav for the death of our 20 soldiers.

He said, "Ceasefire deal was signed between China and India in 1996, when Netaji was defence minister. This is why our soldiers died."

#NLprimetime Image
Today's #NLprimetime is proof of "when Patanjali Pays, Patanjali is served."

That's why we keep saying, support independent media! Because when you pay, YOU will be served. And we won't serve you unproven magical corona cures. Pinky promise.

How big is the Electoral Bonds Scam?

Electoral Bonds have enabled corruption, crony capitalism and fraud at multiple levels. It has spread like cancer.

This thread will show you how far this cancer has spread 🧵
ENABLED EXTORTION

21 companies bought electoral bonds after raids by central agencies.

It's worth asking why companies that are being investigated for money laundering and corruption are allowed to donate to political parties at all.

Ex: Future Gaming - A company run by Santiago Martin, a person who is being investigated by agencies since 2007. He has THIRTY CBI cases against him. This company has donated Rs 1,368 crore to multiple parties.

HOW? Why was this allowed? Why was this kept hidden?
scroll.in/article/106526…
LOSS MAKING COMPANIES MADE DONATIONS

33 loss-making firms donated electoral bonds worth ₹582 crore. At least 45 companies that donated electoral bonds to the ruling BJP have suspect funding sources.

How is it that a company that is not making any profit is able to donate crores to a political party?

Ex1: Bharti Airtel, made a loss of 76,000 crore in the last 5 years. They donated 198 crore through electoral bonds.

How is it that companies are able to donate more money to political parties than their actual profits?

Ex2: Qwik Supply Chain, made a profit of 144 crore in 5 years. But ended up donating 410 crore via electoral bonds.

was going through the ethics committee report on Mahua Moitra's expulsion and found that stuff like THIS is being used as "evidence".

See no. 6. It's a question about allowing free and efficient trade between India & Bangladesh.

The reason given is Hiranandani has invested in Bangladesh so he wants free movement. 🤯

This evidence was given by Jai Anant Dehadrai to the committee and there are a lot more hastily scanned instances in the report of this.
Image
"They (Mahua Moitra & Darshan Hiranandani) would talk secretly on the phone... she would take calls on the speaker. So I would end up hearing these conversations."

ok then. Image
Nishikant Dubey was asked how sharing of login credentials of an MP's NIC portal to a third person amounts to compromising national security.

This was his response.

(If someone can make sense of this, please let me know because I have no idea what this means.) Image

The ruling party (BJP) has received more than 5000 cr in donations through electoral bonds. The permissible limit for spending on elections in Lok Sabha is about 1 crore per candidate.

If BJP fields candidates in all constituencies, it will be max 545 crore that can be spent overall on Lok Sabha elections.

BJP has already received more than 10x of the permissible spending limit through electoral bonds in these 5 years. How is this allowed?

(I'm paraphrasing an argument made by Prashant Bhushan in SC)
The govt claimed during demonetization that they want to reduce the use of cash and turn India into a cashless society. But that doesn't seem to apply to political parties.

Parties and candidates standing for elections spend more than the permissible amount, but in cash or via proxies. The EC has admitted that it can't catch such candidates because they spend in cash.

If you want to reduce cash in politics and elections, just make a simple amendment saying 'cash spending by candidates during elections amounts to corruption'.

Instead of doing that, they have brought electoral bonds to donate to parties anonymously.

(I'm paraphrasing Prashant Bhushan's arguments in SC)
There is nothing in the Electoral Bonds scheme which says that the donation money is to be used only for election purposes. Political parties can spend their money any way they like.

Example: Party can use it to build swanky HQs, give advertisement to media houses in order to push their ideology, can be used to buy land, it can be used for anything.

The money coming through electoral bond is not tied to or restricted to only election expenses.

(I'm paraphrasing an argument made by Kapil Sibal in SC)
