Thread: Some experiences at @MoneylifeF : Young techies who abuse us for 'cribbing' all the time, suddenly discover their parents have lost lakhs in Helios, Plethico etc FD frauds. Google, find our work and ask for "updates"! Lost inheritance opens minds! But that war long over
@MoneylifeF Youngsters will abuse renowned activist who is in her 80s for demanding promised service from banks/telecom etc. It is 50 years of people like her that gave you your rights. Google & tech didn't! Have respect: moneylife.in/article/dis-se… @MoneylifeF
@MoneylifeF Even the right to change service providers, the right to your Credit Report, the right to switch mobile providers were battles someone fought to make your life safer. Technology only facilitated it. Corporates would still block the switch if they could. So wake up.
Remember, no NGO is large or resourceful enough to fight your battle when you finally wake up or discover your parent's investments! You will have to learn to 'crib' systematically and join battles now. The other side is already too powerful and holds all the aces!
This applies to #JeevanSaral and #BankInterst . When @MoneylifeF went to the supreme court, few wanted to join (FREE- only had to file an affidavit) although senior counsel did it pro bono. Not a day passes without a letter from a badly ripped sr citizen about huge losses on LIC
@MoneylifeF Yes same #LIC #JeevanSaral which will fetch big money for govt by a 10% IPO. But those who invested 3.5lakhs for 10 year and got back 1.65 lakhs are crying after retirement. NOT A SINGLE distributor/agent who missold policies volunteers to help put together facts or case! Reality

Would anyone like to guess who is India's largest corporate defaulter? Think hard. It is not Mallya, NiravModi, Not even Essar-Ruia or Sandesara, JatinMehta etc. NO ACTION taken against him by strong GOVT of INDIA!!
This is a nice exercise in basic knowledge -- 1) a defaulter is NOT someone with a huge debt. You can have a MASSIVE and worrying borrowing but that is NOT a default. This one has filed bankruptcy!
Many people are touchingly clueless about the extent of corporate default. yes, a default of Rs 8000 crore (nirav), Rs10,000 crore (Mallya) is big, but we are talking about 15 times the amount (at least) and no muscular govt action! in fact SILENCE

With huge thanks to #UshaLaxman & #SrinivasLaxman, sharing a threat on #Scam1992 through #RKLaxman 's eyes. Hopefully few will be educated on how everybody was covered. But be patient.. will update only one a day

This is when #chidambaram resigned over #Fairgrowth and there was a media frenzy. Eventually only #shankaranand really bowed out of politics. Every other neta escaped as always! Image
Nothing captures the madness better than this #scam1992 the Special Court continues to hear scam cases 28 yrs later and the Custodian has become a permanent body!! National Embarrassment -- continues in DHFL, PMC, IL&FS ... eventual action meaningless! @Moneylifers Image

Thread: here’s praying nobody has to look for a hospital bed in Mumbai. Spent the last hour trying to do that despite help from a ‘group’ of hospitals! Also help people dial 1916. Our @mybmc babus have made it the 1St BIGGEST hurdle for admission @IqbalSinghChah2 @CMOMaharashtra
Don’t get carried away by aggressive TV interviews about more lines. Try 1916! Nothing like trying & sharing what happens when a COVID suspect needs help. Only God can help then! Bureaucracy kills! @sardesairajdeep @sanjaynagral @hegde_aparna @SonaliVaid @d_s_thakur
Mumbai is running out of hospital beds, life saving drugs, ambulances etc. But @mybmc busybissuing fatwas. Even the 7 hills facility they was working well is now under ‘administrators’. And they and babus are NOT accountable. Won’t reply to messages @UghadeSharad @AshwiniBhide

There are young doctors out there risking their lives in the battle against #COVID but there are also a lot of questions about govt hospitals and sr. doctors that need to be asked NOW. Request @mybmc @CMOMaharashtra @OfficeofUT @PawarSpeaks @prithvrj to help get facts: do read on
@mybmc @CMOMaharashtra @OfficeofUT @PawarSpeaks @prithvrj How many senior doctors, HODs have not turned up to work since the lockdown began. A count is required. Those who have been working, in all depts. including optal, gynac, etc need increments. Those who ran away need pay-cuts. lets be fair and reward those who worked, not others!
@mybmc @CMOMaharashtra @OfficeofUT @PawarSpeaks @prithvrj There is a kind of 'burking' going on about number of beds available. While hospitals like #Sion have a unique tradition of NEVER saying no to patients, many of our top hospitals are turning away patients using many excuses. A bit like police refusing to register complaints!

Really worrying feedback from young doctors in Mumbai. #ThinkAboutIt they say. No leader or sr bureaucrat wants to visit COVID hospitals in PPE. Even the investigation into #SionHospital episode will happen on Zoom or video conference! @d_s_thakur @sardesairajdeep @sanjaynagral
The doctors at #SionHospital , especially residents who do the heavy lifting are utterly demoralised at the transfer of a hard-working Dean who was desperately trying to cope in trying conditions! Insensitive Govt.
Doctors say the pressure to suppress Covid19 positive cases is enormous and the solution is NOT testing. They cite specific cases where even exposed doctors are not allowed tests under instructions from “seniors “. Morale dipping badly, cases rising rapidly. All want #BodyBags

Good morning. Think about this. Most countries have begun to open up carefully!China is importing steel. Italy with 40K deaths is not shut like us. We are dragging our feet because bureaucrats &netas enjoy power of lockdown! Damn the economy or poverty! Back to pre1990 privilege
For those born in 2000 if you think Govt and bureaucracy gives a damn about shortages, queues, ban on imports, no foreign travel- you are in cuckoo land. The netas and babus will enjoy power. Our industry will rip off every kind of stimulus and stash it abroad! ...
Even the aspirational middle class will desperately seek greener pastures (green cards). The poor in india will get poorer. We will do bhajan and bang thalis. And no Congress or NCP are not alternatives. Waking up people to demand rights is what we need! #WakeUpIndia
