@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 Image
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?

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!!!

@NITIAayog @IncomeTaxIndia @dir_ed any legal tab to ensure transparency?

++ 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'!)

@ketto care to clarify this? ImageImageImageImage
++ Addition after few queries on VK/AS campaign.
++ update4 #EXPOSED!
Ayyub had to refund foreign funds after violation highlighted through these all threads.👇

Rushikonda Hill Palace is 14x more expensive, + a destroyed hill, yet neither BJP nor Congress or any environmentalists top the guns against Jagan Reddy!

Why?

1/ Image
The features of the palace are crazy.

- 200 chandeliers @₹15L each
- cosy interior ₹33cr
- imported furniture, spa, jacuzzis
- commodes @ ₹15L each
- landscaping of exotic imported plants & grass
- advanced sound system, humongous home theatre
- multi-hued illumination
2/ Image
The place originally was tourism deptt run resorts with 58 rooms. Reddy converted this lavish 44acre land into residence-cum-camp-office with just 12 rooms and rest are conf halls and chambers.

PM Modi's pursuit of a third term was fraught with challenges, particularly due to well-organized foreign interference. While we are familiar with the 'ecosystem', significant new dimensions and actors have emerged, overlapping to the political dynamics of the United States.

1/
There was a massive surge in the anti-Modi , anti-govt narrative during Apr-May'24, just before/during GE. These activities were carried out in two separate (but complementary) formats:
(a) organising events, lectures, semi/webinars by certain West orgs or NGOs and then amplified by associated entities, online & social media space;
2/
(b) publishing critical write-ups OpEd in prominent international publications in a regular manner. Just to feel the amplitude, 175+ articles were published by The Guardian, Washington Post, Bloomberg, NYT, France 24,etc., during April-May 2024)

e.g. NYT & Guardian

Let me explain it in easy words. AI models allows users to generate comments based on a certain input. One can easily programme it do this is mass level.

But what if an operator misuse it to generate fake opinions & deploy humans or bots to influence on the social media?

2/
OpenAI busted such 5 operators, whereas 2 were related to Russia, 1 for China, 1 for Iran, and 1 for Gaza conflict and Indian election.

Not a secret anymore that the big pharma lobby is upset of India's vaccine strategy that led to big $$bn loss to them. Since then many attempts have been made to discredit India's efforts.

The latest one is a "research" by Dr Chakrabarti, amplified by ET journo Teena Thacker.
1/ Image
Pfizer (bully guy) & the pharma lobby tried to halt & malign India's efforts by health ministry & ICMR to go ahead with Covishield & Bharat Bio Tech Covaxin.

We are a lucrative market where a few "perks" traditionally translate into huge business. But that didn't happen.
2/
On 14-May, Dr Sankha Shubhra Chakrabarti (SSC) published a report about adverse events in Covaxin. This report was immediately (or as planned?) picked-up by ET journo Teena Thacker. This sampling was conducted on telephone survey with 1024 individuals, led by Dr SSC+11 team.

The "Reservation" Fake News🚨

You might have come across edited videos on reservation policy by BJP leaders.

Now it appears that a group of handles, mainly @DabangYogi is behind those all or at least a few fake videos.

1/

In above snapshots, the group is "celebrating" the success of their coordinated disinformation campaign.

These videos were circulated on WhatsApp in masses. The irreversible damage is already done.

The gang leader here is mocking the fack checkings.

Here an INC worker @JaySinghINC is expressing gratitude for fake videos and seeking more such contents.

Everything is happening openly, no fear of consequences.

₹ 35,30,346 Cr (35 lakh crore): The commutative amount has been transferred directly to the valid beneficiary account (DBT).

Had it been the Congress era, 85% i.e. ₹30 lakh crore would have vanished to corrupt mediators.

1/ Image
₹30L Cr is an estimated loss based on former PM Rajiv Gandhi's infamous quote. In other words, this is ~60% of India's today's budget. Imagine the level of corruption, that even the PM confessed, unofficial commission, fake ID beneficiaries, duplicities & other means.
2/
Though DBT was initiated in 2013 (parting MMS govt), it was systematically expanded by the Modi govt.

For the success of DBT, first & foremost need is a bank a/c. Govt launched the massive PM Jan Dhan Yojana, under which 52cr a/c were opened (56% women & 67% in rural/suburb)
