1. LoP Suvendu Adhikari tweeted West Bengal Chief Secretary Harikrishna Dwivedi was present in yesterday's meeting b/w WB CM, Delhi CM, Punjab CM & other legislators of Delhi (photo courtsey: LoP)

He was the only BUREAUCRAT in a meeting of legislators of different States

As I Image
2. keenly observe, I humbly try to decode

such apparently disturbing actions

WB CM reigning West Bengal predominantly by misusing the State't bureaucrats & police

TMC partymen are just there to showcase the presence of a party

Such police & bureaucrats misuse the loopholes of
3. law and silence of the Constitution

Whenever a conflict gets apparent b/w State and the Centre, the West Bengal cadre All India Services Officers (IAS, IPS) stand on the West Bengal State's side against the Union Govt though such officers draw salary from the Centre & their
4. service records get maintained at Delhi

Even if Article 256 & 257 of the Constitution of India suggest that in case of such conflicts Union Govt's dictate would prevail, WB IAS, IPSs violate such Constitutional guideline

And follow the WB-line

How do they do that?

Because
5. of an inherent weakness of d Constitution

Though the Constitution prescribes an upper hand of the Union Govt,the book doesn't suggest what to do if IAS, IPS doesn't abide by such prescriptions & turn defiant

Following such silence of the Constitution, West Bengal bureaucrats
6. & police unhesitatingly side with the State

As Constitution is silent, Union Govt too lets such bureaucrats go as they like

Union Govt reflect the inherent weakness of d Constitution

IMHO, Dwivedi appears the key advisor suggesting WB CM such tricks about how to misuse
7. Constitutional silence & loopholes of law

If all events of West Bengal Politics and Administration is plotted along the timeline since 2012, one can find presence of Dwivedi in the background in ALL wrongdoings of WB especially in the State's financial management & scams
8. Come to post poll West Bengal violence 2021 & the State Police' 'mute spectator' mode,

Dwivedi was the Home Secretary (ACS Home)

It is documented how he turned defiant to all Constitutional & Statutory authorities

Seems he advises WB CM how to arm twist d Constitution & law
9. Why #ArvindKejariwal #BhagwantMan and other Delhi legislators came to meet #MamataBanerjee?

May guess they perhaps came to learn from her how she dominates her State through her bureaucrats & how to (mis)use constitutional provisions in favour of their 'benefits'
10. But it's impossible for #MamataBanerjee to explain all these to #ArvindKejariwal w/o H K Dwivedi's help

As it is Dwivedi who appears to invent such techniques knowing d provisions in detail

So, Dwivedi, in spite of being an EXECUTIVE, was present legislators' meeting

But
11. #Delhi CM won't be able to take West Bengal line to (mis)use bureaucrats

as Constitution has not kept such loophole in case of NCR

So, Parliament too, didn't delay to bring in #delhiordinance and rightly so

Bharat cannot subject her NCR to the rogue policies of West Bengal
12. In September 2021, #calcuttahighcourt marked H K Dwivedi a 'canvassing agent of TMC'

#MamataBanerjee is also reportedly planning to field Dwivedi as the State's finance minister once Dwivedi retires in June this year

This H K Dwivedi, "single-handedly" broke the backbone
13. of Bengal economy by adding staggering loan burden over and above what was left by the LEFT FRONT

Can elaborate on this & would do it some time later

(end)

West Bengal CM's nephew reached Supreme Court against #calcuttahighcourt order allowing CBI/ED to interrogate him w.r.t. #recruitmentscam imposing ₹25 lac penalty for lodging flimsy cases

Nephew's lawyer Abhishek Manu Singhvi placed the case in SC Justice Aniruddha Basu's bench
Justice Basu, once close to TMC MLA Manik Bhattacharyya who is another accused in the #recruitmentscam & now in jail

AM Singhvi 'managed' the 'right' bench?

Wud Justice Aniruddha Basu put a 'stay' on d #calcuttahighcourt order?

While ED/CBI has n number of facts against him?
The way all roads lead to Rome, all roads of West Bengal #recruitmentscam too lead apparently to BHAIPO

Interrogation required to confirm

Hope Justice Basu's order doesn't impede the process though previously he often eventually rendered apparently favourable orders for TMC—

1. Manoj Pant Finance Secretary West Bengal stated in para 5 of his affidavit to #calcuttahighcourt that remitting #DearnessAllowance wud be "beyond the financial capacity of the State Govt."

As DA an inseparable part of d salary,this statement is a "breach of contract" by GOWB.
2. Why "breach of contract"?

Salary money is committed from before (a contract) which cannot be reduced with time.

As money is a negotiable instrument, Govt actually commits commodities in lieu of that committed salary amount.

As inflation occurs, DA is remitted as the
3. inflation adjustment factor to let the employees buy the same amount of commodities with his salary even after price rise.

Thus DA is to preventing reduction of salary with time due to price rise.

Hence, non-remittance of #DearnessAllowance = reduction of committed salary/

#pinarayivijayan said he won't implement #CAA in #Kerala. Before him #MamataBanerjee said the same thing for #WestBengal. What these CMs are saying is not just rhetorical but meaningful. +
In all other cases of Citizenship by Registration and/or Naturalization, applicants have to liaise with MHA GOI via State DMs & the State Secretariat where it is possible for the State to sabotage & block applicants. +
CAA 2019 implementation must bypass the State Government offices. Else #WestBengal #Kerala such States would sabotage it. Rules need to be such that applicants don't at all need to go via State Secretariat. @AmitShahOffice +

A Thread on Income Tax and Middle Class

1. #UnionBudget2022 placed. Apart from several excellent proposals and measures suggested in order to achieve sustainable growth of National economy, government suggested no change in the existing income tax rates and exemptions. This is
2. exactly where d typical middle class, generally unaware of the intricate details of economics, remain interested. This is exactly the issue which concerns them the most and this is what they treat as yardstick to measure the extent of concern the government shows towards them.
3. Not unlike with any other previous governments of independent India,this time too they feel deprived. To understand the matter a little more precisely and to judge the extent of justification behind this feeling of the middle class, let us penetrate a little further.

IMHO different tax slabs required for salaried people & professionals. @nsitharaman

Professionals, entrepreneurs have ways to show expenditure while filing IT return. Earning 20 showing 6 is a go. Such scope absent for salaried people comprising 80% of IT payers.#UnionBudget2022
Most of these salaried IT payers are middle class people. #UnionBudget2022 should have brought tax relief to this segment.

GOI does not seem empathetic towards service holder middle class.
From today's perspective, service holders who earn 7 lacs or near r not middle class but upper stratum of the bottom 50%.

Those earning 7 - 30 lacs from SERVICE r middle class in true sense. This segment is being heavily taxed as they don't have scope to evade. #UnionBudget
