People in affluent Nation slog their entire lives and allow governments to deduct Income Tax at very high rates (50 to 60%)
This money, their Government hands over to investment bankers. With the profits they maintain a social security system that helps people in their old age
@gautam_adani developed a sense of credibility with the fund managers who manage these pension funds by leveraging on the @PMOIndia.
His proximity and intimate relationship with @narendramodi gave a message to the investors that they can trust Adani
@narendramodi extracted his piece of flesh by making Adani pay for his political career which involved full throttled use of free cash to buy MLAs, topple democratically elected governments, fund Election Campaigns, hacking EVMs, bribing & build a war chest at their Party office
Everything was wonderful until @gautam_adani slid his hands into the pockets of foreign investors. They began verification process. And that's how the con was caught. Fraudulent book keeping, false valuations, Internal trading, siphoning off company funds, untenable loans, etc
Curtains came down on the Party time for #AdaniGroup. While the assets in their possession and cash flow in the business is impressive, its value is lesser by over 70% against their financial commitments to Bank loans, International Bonds etc.
SEBI, SBI, LIC, BoB, all knew about how the value of the Adani shares were falsely jacked up through the "round tripping" process.
If these institutions were truly autonomous, they would not have touched @gautam_adani with a 9 meter long pole
#ModiGovt 's headlines management through a pliable media has tried to take your attention away from some dangerous situation that our Nation is suffering from.
Allow me to update you on one extremely important topic - India's Forex reserves.
Why do we need Forex?
We need reserved of foreign currencies with the RBI to meet our
A. Import expenses
B. Repayment of external debts
C. Investments abroad
D. Services like education, medical treatment, tourism, on-site projects etc
We earn forex through exports. And add more dollars thru loans
Overall imports in April-November 2022 are estimated to be USD 610.70 Billion.
India's overall exports (Merchandise and Services combined) in April-November2022 are estimated to be USD 499.67 Billion.
While @PMOIndia refuses to answer about his direct role that caused massive wiping out of Billions of Dollars from investors in Adani Group shares and their other stake holders, pressures from the Supreme Court has forced SEBI to initiate a probe.
👇 SBIs response to SEBI
BJP IT Cell projects through its WhatsApp groups that the loss impacts only a handful of people who invest and trade in shares. That it does not affect most people because they do not invest in shares.
That's a lie. The loss in value of Adani Shares hits Banks net worth
The Adani Group pledged worthless shares of their new ventures and took massive loans from SBI
Value of these shares have fallen by over 83%.
So, to recover their loans if the banks sell these shares they recover ONLY 17% of the loan value.
Sharing an observation
Post lockdown, especially during the past 8 or 10 months, most of regular house maids working in our residential area have vanished.
They have been replaced by people who have not worked as maids before. Many come for work in their 2 wheelers. Well groomed
My wife was hesitant to employ one of the new maid that we have at home. She tells me, this lady does not appear to be like the others that we have had. That she looks to be from a financially comfortable, and no reason to be working as a cleaning maid.
We employed her.
Then we learnt that her husband has a job as an electrician and earns well
But Covid and inflation has rinsed them out of their savings. So she decided to look for work and restore their rainy day buffer
Around mid 30, she has never worked anywhere before. This is a stress job
Enticement of #SanjivChadha, CEO & MD Bank of Baroda, to continue providing fresh loans to the tainted #Adani group, which lost over 50% of its net worth during past 4 weeks, could be whatever.
While every global financial institution has issued a Red Alert on #AdaniGroup and its devious methods, Mr Sanjiv Chadha proudly announces his resolve to pour more of your money to a group that the entire world sees as a fraudster
Dear India
We have 2 Options
1. Kick out CEO & MD of @bankofbaroda and replace him with a person of Integrity
2. Close your accounts with BoB and shift it into a bank which is not compromised
Can Banks who have nothing to do with Adani kindly raise their hands please 🖐️
India as a Nation is in serious danger because of @narendramodi 's refusal to discuss the China threat in the Parliament.
One can understand his compulsions. The debate would defuse his strongman image built through Lakhs of Crores of investment in media and gifts.
China's plan to expand its rail network in Tibet from the current 1,400 km to 4,000 km has serious implications for India's national security. Stretches of rail lines will run close to the Line of Actual Control (LAC).
This means that Chinese trains carrying thousands of troops can be deployed swiftly right up to the disputed India-China border; that gives the Chinese army a big advantage in the event of war as India does not have overland connectivity infrastructure on its side of the border.
India's budget places Health as a low priority component
