Update on PM CARES scam:

I'd filed an RTI with National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) which handles disbursal of PM CARES Funds.

PM Modi is ex-officio Chairman

NDMA says no money has been disbursed by them for PM CARES ventilators

Then who did?

It gets stranger

(1/4)
I also asked for bank statements of NDMA's account from where disbursals happen.

Surprisingly they rejected it under Sec 8 & 11 of RTI Act.

Sec 8 refers to info prejudicial to sovereignty of India. Sec 11 refers to info related to 3rd parties.

PM CARES is the 3rd party.

How is releasing NDMA's accounts a threat to the sovereignty & integrity of India?

Under Sec. 11, if info pertains to a 3rd party, NDMA must issue them a notice & ask for objections.

Did NDMA issue a notice to PM CARES? What exactly are they hiding in their accounts?

(3/4)
The PM CARES scam is beyond anyone's imagination.

They're literally trying every trick to hide the details of this fund from the public.

Why? Because it hides dark secrets.

I urge EVERYONE & Opposition to push for making PM CARES details public.

Make this PRIORITY!

Sambit Patra's demonetization scam:

In 2010, Sambit Patra set up a company called Centre For Holistic Advancement And Upliftment Of Poor & Landless (CHAUPAL).

In 2016, when demonetization happened, Patra's company had 61+ lakhs lying IN CASH in 500 & 1000 rupee notes

Thread 👇
Patra set up this company with:

a) Bhola Nath Vij of RSS Swadeshi Jagran Manch &
b) Balram Garg - MD of PC Jewelers.

Patra's company borrows money from unspecified sources & lends it as microfinance making interest from it.

His company is NOT an NBFC or Sec 8 co.

(1/7)
Patra’s company earlier operated from the offices of a company called Centre for Bharatiya Marketing Development which is controlled by RSS in RK Puram.

In 2019, they moved to a massive plot at DDU Marg which was allotted by the Modi govt. to RSS Swadeshi Jagran Manch

I worked for the INC just when RG became Congress President. It was only under his tenure that young people like me could actually work in politics despite being from non-political families.

When he resigned last year, I branched out & started working independently.

I never “demanded” a party position nor did I stop doing the work I owed to my country as a citizen.

Did I have grouses? Yes. But I chose to discuss those internally. And just because they didn’t get resolved, I didn’t switch over to the evil side out of greed.

(2/5)
I don’t take a penny from any party.

I took the gamble of not taking a lucrative job, surviving on crowdfunding & doing my work full-time because I want to see the BJP gone.

Am I ambitious? Of course. But there’s a THICK line between ambition & selfishness.

Sambit Patra's electoral fraud:

Read on to know how Patra hid assets on his election affidavit. Patra is a shareholder in a company (founded by him) & has not declared those assets.

This offense attracts a disqualification from voting and contesting elections for 6 years

👇
In 2010, Patra founded a "company" called Centre For Holistic Advancement And Upliftment of Poor & Landless.

Patra was the promoter of this company as revealed from 2010 company filings

(1/5)
In March 2019, Patra resigned as a Director from the company (as well as from the board of ONGC) to contest the Lok Sabha elections from Puri, Odisha.

Here's a copy of his resignation letter as well the company's shareholding pattern where he's shareholder number 1.
