Liquor Paap ki Jaanch ki Aaanch se Ghabrai AAP?
Here are some specific questions we have asked about the Liquor Scam.. But instead of answering these AAP plays a victimhood card.. They played it for Satyendra Jain too but he is in jail till date & courts denied him relief 1/n
Putting out a list of questions once again that AAP is not answering on Liquor scam
1) Is it not true that an illegal waiver was given to liquor mafia of Rs 144 cr?
2) Is it not true that EMD of Rs 30 cr was refunded illegally to one company?
2/n
3) Is it not true that discount of Rs 50/ crate on imported beer was given in violation of rules ?
4) Is it not true that operational period of licensees was extended from 1.04.22 to 31st July 2022 without due approvals
5) Is it not true that manufacturing companies were 3/n
Despite numerous attempts to explain basic concepts to AAP & Congress they do not seem to understand.
AAP is attempting to mislead people in a brazen manner- loan write-offs are not the same as loan waivers
Sadly, the media doesn’t ask any counters of Pinocchio Kejriwal 1/n
Write-off of bank loans is prudential accounting treatment and is done when 100% provisions are made against losses in a time-bound manner. This is as per RBI guidelines approved by bank Boards- banks continue to pursue recovery action against such borrowers 2/n
Fact:
As a result of concerted recovery efforts, banks have recovered over Rs 8.6 lakh crore bad loans in the last eight years on account of strong measures initiated by the government and the Reserve Bank.
PSBs' NET PROFIT DOUBLES TO 66,519 CRORE IN 2021-22.
State-run banks more than doubled their net profit in 2021-22 at Rs 66,519 crore as against Rs 31,820 crore in 2020-21. But how health of these PSBs improved? let us analyse. (1/9)
The big bad loan problem, Indian banks witnessed in Congress rule has been addressed to a large extent by the present Govt. In fact, this improvement is not sudden but gradual, in line with the improvement in the Economy as a whole. (2/9)
For this, one should thank the Modi Govt, Improvement in NPAs started way back in 2015 when it kicked off the massive asset quality review. This prompted banks to disclose hidden bad loans on their books & provide for each and every loan A/C that was in the default category.(3/9)
India is only major economy which has zero probability of slipping into recession, as per Bloomberg survey. However, Opposition being busy spreading false rumours about economy struggling to stay afloat tells a lot about its credibility and priorities. (1/4)
The same survey has raised expectations for a chance of recession from 0 % just a few months before in the United States to around 40%. Chances of recession are 50-55% in Europe, 33% in New Zealand, 20% in Taiwan, 20% in Australia and 8% in the respectively. (2/4)
Sri Lanka, which is in the midst of its worst economic crisis ever, has an 85% probability of falling into recession in the next year. China too has a probability of 20% of falling into recession, as per the survey. (3/4)
