How Saradha Scam accused Mukul Roy is living off taxpayer funds in a plush Lutyens bungalow courtesy the BJP:
BJP's Mukul Roy resigned from Rajya Sabha as TMC MP in Oct 2017 & joined BJP.
And now, this principal accused in the Saradha Scam gets a VIP treatment from BJP
👇
Since 2017, BJP's Mukul Roy has occupied the plush Lutyens bungalow at 181 South Avenue illegally & has been allotted it as "guest accommodation".
This bungalow has the largest garden on South Avenue.
Rajya Sabha RTI tells me he's a "guest" of "nominated" MP @swapan55

Like Saradha scam accused Mukul Roy, another such bungalow has been occupied for years by Bajrang Dal founder Vinay Katiyar.
So I wrote to the Rajya Sabha demanding eviction proceedings.
The Rajya Sabha tells me that such "guest accommodation" is only given for 3 months.

HOWEVER, here's the catch: Chairman of the House Committee of the Rajya Sabha can keep extending the duration as he wishes.
The current Chairman is BJP leader & MP @OmMathur_bjp.

Why is Saradha Scam accused Mukul Roy being allowed to live in a plush Lutyens bungalow meant only for MPs illegally since 2017?
Rules state that it can only be allotted for 3 months. Why has Mukul Roy gotten it with extensions for FOUR YEARS ever since he joined the BJP?

While the CBI continues to summon @AITCofficial leaders in the middle of elections, Saradha Scam prime accused Mukul Roy continues to enjoy an MP's Lutyens Bungalow courtesy the Modi govt.
I write this with incredible sadness & disappointment.
There’s a video circulating since 3 days calling for some of us (incl. journalists) to be hanged to death because we were mentioned as “accounts to follow” in Greta Thunberg’s toolkit supporting the farmer protests.

The shitty & violent conspiracy video was taken down by YouTube but tweeted out by BJP leaders including Kapil Mishra.
The website @ThePrintIndia even legitimized the video since the journos mentioned are @ShekharGupta’s competitors.

And yet, there’s barely even been a murmur condemning them. There’s barely anyone who’s even spoken about it.
This same pattern repeats every year. No one speaks up unless someone is framed or they’re killed.
We light candles for the dead but ignore the lead up to it.
Mystery of Bharat Biotech's Phase 1&2 Covid-19 vaccine trials:
Bharat Biotech registered its Phase 1&2 trials for Covaxin with India's Clinical Trials Registry (CTR) - a division of ICMR - which happens to be Bharat Biotech's partner.
Here's some shocking details 👇
Phase 1 details by Bharat Biotech were registered on 1st July, 2020.
Remember - this was the time when ICMR issued a shocking letter saying "vaccine must be ready by Independence Day" so that Modi could earn brownie points.
Total number of volunteers: 1125

Phase 2 details by Bharat Biotech were registered on 8th September, 2020.
This was literally within 2 months of registering Phase 1 trial.
Basically, Phase 2 trial details were registered before Phase 1 was even complete.
Now with Bharat Biotech's "Covaxin" being approved for restricted use (whatever that means), the big question remains as to why the Modi govt wants to gamble with the life of citizens.
Govt claims "Covaxin" is approved only for situations where there's a vaccine shortage.
As I'd said yesterday, the Rajya Sabha gave me a list of MPs who have secured an EXTRA "guest accommodation" along with the "guests" occupying these.
These are prime Lutyens Delhi MP houses being given to "guests" who are not public servants in any way.
Thread 👇
The concept of "guest accommodation" under Rajya Sabha rules was to help MPs accommodate their visitors who travel to Delhi during Parliament Sessions.
Along with VP House Hostel & Western Court Hostel, a few houses on North & South Avenue have been designated for this.

Rules of the Rajya Sabha state that these "guest accommodations can only be allotted for 3 months max.
Moreover, the pool of housing on North & South Avenue is EXTREMELY LIMITED according to the Rajya Sabha handbook.
These plush Lutyens houses are from MP housing quota.
