+Update2: #SounSoodExposed
The detailed I-T statement is found much in sync with our each of core finding! Check explosive details-
As suspected, Sood has precisely USED JUST 10% OF RECEIVED DONATION FOR RELIEF WORK and 90% IS STILL LYING UNUTILISED i.e. Rs. 17 Crore. 1/
As explained in the thread, his foundation is not FCRA reg so can't accept FC. I-T report confirmed FCRA violation of Rs. 2.1 Cr.
The partnership with Lucknow-based businessman (I-T didn't mention name), most likely to be Anil Kr. Singh (who was close associate of ex-CM)
2/
..used for routing of funds and tax evasions. Its been found that said real estate firm siphoned Rs. 175 Cr by dubious contacts, scrap sales, unaccounted cash etc etc..
Bogus unsecured loan used by Sood to evade taxes towards bogus entities by issuing cheques in liu of cash. 3/
The story doesn't here. Here it goes the another story of people who played out with emotions of needy, who encashed the crisis, spent a penny on them, camouflaged by heavy PR, form a 'Messiah' image & kept filling their own wallets.

Appreciate agencies who unearthed this scam of the pandemic, where donors & fundraisers take a lesson for a lifetime.
₹ 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.
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) 3/
I can float a party and can promise a plot on moon for everyone. Interestingly, I don't have to explain my technical or economical plan, neither I would have any fear of consequences if I (obviously) won't be able to do it.

In the high octane election in India, ppl hardly care about manifestos & so the parties. Nonetheless it is best reflection of intent & vision of the party.
Problem is almost no constitutional compulsion or scrutiny of promises being even technically feasible.
2/
First of all the word "guarantee" is highly misleading. I'd personally go with Kapil Sibal who said using this word itself is unconstitutional. No one can guarantee anything but only can try. BJP, Congress or AAP, all parties failed here.

The other day I went to a party wearing my favourite Wildstone deo. My host (name withheld) introduced me to someone. The rest is history.

This morning I was feeling a little dull. Then I brushed my teeth with Colgate Max and blew my breath at a random girl. In general, you would have got a slap in such a case, but here that girl started dancing with me.

And here if you are born with an average look and dark skin, you just need to apply fair and lovely and handsome, which will change your look & skin colour good enough to be acceptable in society.
@DrSJaishankar referred Nehru's foreign policy (India second, China first). Congress spox @LavanyaBallal used derogatory remarks and denying the charges.
Here are two historical evidences that India was indeed offered permanent seat for UNSC but Nehru denied.
1/
The 1950 American Offer:
US: we offer unseating of China as a Permanent Member in the Security Council and of India being put in her place.
JLN: We shall go on pressing for China's admission in the UNSC. India is certainly entitled, but not at cost of China.
2/
The 1955 Soviet Offer:
USSR: we propose India's inclusion as the 6th member of the UNSC.
JLN: We feel that this should not be done till the question of China's admission is first solved. I feel that we should first concentrate on getting China admitted.
Supreme court & petitioner and that journalist (which I still believe is just a front face) has royally screwed up the Electoral Bond scheme and its' purpose.
Let me explain, how -
1/
Quid-Pro-Quo: Think for a moment, if center govt wanted to use it for kickbacks, bribes and commissions which payment mode would have been better? Cash or EB!
2/
Agencies as weapons: If the central ruling party has received 6K Cr for Q-P-Q, opposition parties have also received 16K Cr. Why would corporate bet on them if they know oppsn doesn't control CBI/ED?
3/
In Nov'2019 @TheQuint published that in FY2018-19 ₹6K Cr worth EB were sold. Of that 6K, ₹4.5K Cr went to BJP.
Look at the data now.
That report in 2019 was entirely fake on all accounts.
1/
Quint somehow got this 6K Cr figure for FY2018-19. (god knows who fooled them!)
Now, based on their "highly placed source" in Congress & political party's declared fund to EC, they "figured out" ₹550+587Cr, indicating that the rest of ₹4500 Cr (approx) went to BJP!
2/
Now look at the actual data. The total EB sold in FY2018-19 were ₹2383Cr, NOT ₹6K Cr. How can an "investigative journalist" get that wrong?
Their "sources" in INC said that they collected ₹550cr through EB but in reality, it was ₹383Cr.
