@RanaAyyub campaign has raised approx Rs.90L (Goal=1.25Cr) through Ketto in the name of helping COVID affected migrants & slum dwellers in Mumbai. To my surprised, there is NO registered NGO associated here, i.e. all on a PERSONAL account. 1/3
This can be further verified by receipt too which clearly says FUND TYPE=PERSONAL & the donation is NOT eligible for tax exemption(80G).
In this crisis, a donation is a noble cause but how come NO accountability or records of such huge fundraising? 2/3
Instead of getting associated with a legit NGO (easy opt) or get one reg. for self, its shocking that the ppl who were questioning transparency at PM level fund, are opting for 'PERSONAL' collection!!!
++ As per FCRA, a journalist can't collect foreign funding in India! How is this happening here then? How can one ensure its not money laundering/ hawala/ sources of the donor (when there is an option to remain 'anonymous'!)
The PM-CM removal bill was distraction to pass the most crucial bill and Vote-chori drama also helped in passed this bill almost quietly i.e. ONLINE MONEY GAMING bill.
We're talking about a ₹2L Cr industry where govt reaps appx ₹20K cr as GST.
And yet.....

... govt banned it!
All Real Money Gaming federations mounted immense pressure on govt and also wrote to HM Amit Shah to reconsider.
They also cited that if RMG loses its revenue, they wont be able to sponsor, spl cricket tournaments.

So, its safe to assume that BCCI and ICC wud also be not so happy by this decision.
Look at other numbers and imagine about the scale.
Who designed our national flag? Simple question. Complex answer.
Largely there are two names - Pingali Venkaiyya and Suraiya Tayabji. But a bit controversial.
Problem is no name is officially documented as a "designer" explicitly.
Interesting story of 🇮🇳

Pingali Venkayya, served in British army, a lecturer & a congressman, proposed the concept of colored stripes with spinning wheel (charkha) flag.
Red = Hindus ; Green = Muslims.
Gandhi insisted for third color
White = all other faiths
2/
Imo, the idea of religion symbolism of colors was incorrect. It doesn't show diversity rather acknowledge the non-alignment of faiths in the country, against the natural secular-fabric of Bharat.
But given the MK Gandhi's inherited appeasement nature, this is not surprising.

Trump’s 50% tariff move isn’t a power play. It’s an egoistic move.
Because America can’t manufacture what India exports at scale, quality, or cost. And the price will be paid… by Americans. In dollars & diapers.
Small🧵in layman's terms.

Let’s talk about textiles.
India supplies 25–30% of U.S. home textiles.
Do Trump think Americans will stitch bedsheets after multi cousin brunch & golf? Walmart will charge $70 (instead of $30) for the same towel- Made in India, via Vietnam.

Pharmaceuticals = lifeline.
1 in 3 pills consumed in the U.S. is made in India. We are #1 supplier of generics.
Raise tariffs, and Americans will pay double for insulin, antibiotics!
Remember, covid times and USA's request to India to lift the export ban of certain drug.

Check out who is the guy acted in Rahul Gandhi's PR video and casually sought for ₹25000 crores of unsecured loan from government.
Manish Bhardwaj, 12th pass* / dropped out, belongs to a typical businessman and politician's family, born with silver spoon.
1/
Public profile says Manish is MBA from Amity Uni. as per a "paid" article (advertisement) in Fobes India, Manish rejected concept of school and never believed in formal education thus dropped out after 12th standard.

Family-
Father Narendra Bhardwaj is businessman, MD of Foxsky, associated with Congress for 35yrs at capacity of various positions.
Sister Dolly Sharma is INC Spox and Ghaziabad's loksabha 2024 candidate who lost by margin of 3 lakhs votes.
Start with first- Behere — an AAP supporter (read diehard Modi hater)— and his brilliance⬇️
1/
Behere once donated ₹25,000 to Saket Gokhale, convinced that Gokhale was “fighting” the so-called fascist regime on his own.
His hate for Modi was so blinding that he fell for it without a second thought.
He regretted it.
2/
A while later, Smart-ass Behere dared to ask Gokhale what had been done with his donation.
Gokhale flatly refused to give any accountability — said he might use the funds for “sustenance.”
