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/
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/
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.

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)
An attempt was made to influence Indian Election (mis)using AI model by generating fake anti-BJP and Pro-Congress opinions on social media.
OpenAI (famous for ChatGPT) busted 5 such covert operators who were exploiting their AI model.
Don't miss this thread!

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?

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/
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.

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. 3/
₹ 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/
₹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.

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) 3/
