Piyush Goyal called Indian Industry of being anti-national. More specifically, he was talking of the Tata Group. Let us see how the funders and donors of BJP fared after NDA came to power.
1. The Tata Groups Progressive electoral trust donated 356 Crores to BJP in 2018-19. They donated just 55 Crores to Congress, which is 15% of what they gave BJP. They are now called anti-national. And their telecom and airline dreams are in tatters.
2. Sunil Bharti Mittal and Birla supported Prudent electoral trust donated 594 crores since 2014 only to BJP. This is 82% of its total donations. The balance 18% were distributed amongst Congress, TMC, BJD, AAP etc. Airtel and Idea are struggling to survive.
3. The biggest donations came from the mysterious electoral bonds. Of the total 3441 crores of donations to all political parties through Electoral bonds in 2019-20, Rs. 2555 Crores or 72% were cornered by BJP.
4. BJP had a cash balance of Rs.1905 Crores in Mar'19(before elections) which increased to Rs.3555 crores in Mar'20. Donations were made to BJP which never needed them but dried up all funding to opposition that could have made it a fair election, an objective of these trusts.
5. The fate of these donors - Tatas are anti-national. Airtel and Idea are struggling to survive. And the two people who did not donate at all - Ambani and Adani are eating the donors away.

KARMA is a bitch. When you fund a hate factory, you will be devoured by it too.

On this day, it is important to remember Mahatma Gandhi, a man much maligned now as RSS which never had a role in our freedom struggle tries to appropriate the badge of patriotism. Here are some remarkable facts that makes Gandhi Ji a Mahatma:
1. Gandhiji was jailed eleven times. In all, he spent 11 years and 19 days in jail. Once he was arrested for sedition, a colonial rule implemented by British against freedom fighters but used in a free India by current day governments too.
2. Gandhiji, in all fasted 17 times as his way of protest. He fasted for 21 days at a stretch three times - one for Hindu/Muslim Unity, another to protest untouchability and third time to protest his detention without charges.

The Adani Group shares have been in the news for all the wrong reasons with regulators turning deaf and blind. Mahua Moitra has been crying hoarse for an investigation with the FM acting ignorant. Here is a lowdown of what is wrong with Adani shares.
1. The year also saw Gautam Adani becoming the second richest man in India as the market cap of his stocks went up from 2 lac crore to 9.5 lac crore. Surprisingly, the group firms have relatively low investment analyst coverage, a rarity for such Marketcap company.

This is the story of Sopan Narsinga Gaikwad
1968: Sopan, aged 55 years, hailing from rural Maharashtra, purchased a plot of land through a registered sale deed. Soon he came to know that it was already mortgaged to a bank in lieu of a loan taken by the original owner.
1969: The bank issues a notice to him on default of loan by original owner. Sopan approaches the courts to enforce his rights.

1982 (14 years after purchase): A trial court issues a decree in his favour. Original owner moves court. Sopan is now 69 years old.

1. This statement is rich coming from a guy whose promoter survives largely on foreign capital. Here is a takedown of Essel Group, of which Subhash Chandra, a Rajya Sabha MP is a promoter and who is the owner of Zee News too:
2. In Zee Entertainment Limited, the FII/FPI holdings are 64.15% of the total equity. 568 Foreign Investors hold 2/3 ownership of the company. On the other hand, only 18 domestic mutual funds have invested and own 3.67% of equity.
3. Zee Ent. has only 3.99% equity held by the promoters. In 2018, it was 41.67%. The promoter divested much of his stake to foreign entities.
