‘#BroadcastingServicesBill: Digital License Raj’ #MustRead 🚨

Are you someone who broadcasts news, talks about current affairs on any social media intermediary? Then an inspector might show up at your door without prior notice. You could end up paying lakhs in fines and facing years of imprisonment.

A must-read #Thread to understand how the ‘Digital Bulldozers’ are getting ready to bulldoze you👇

(1/N)

#ContentBacho #KillTheBill #StopBroadcastBill

Before we get into the draft bill, try to understand how bad things are moving forward 👇

For the second draft, a few selected stakeholders were asked to collect their individual copies of the draft and give an undertaking that they would not share it.

What is so secret about this bill that the govt is going to the extent of individually watermarking copies shared with a few and not putting it up in the public domain?

(2/N)

Not just content creators, but even content consumers who tweet, reply, or comment on any current affairs are considered broadcasters and are reportedly mandated to register with the govt.

Definitions reportedly introduced for ‘Digital News Broadcaster,’ ‘Professional,’ ‘Systematic Activity,’ and other terms in the bill are so ambiguous & vague that everyone now falls under it.

#MustRead #Important 🚨

Ministry of Tribal Affairs for Ekalavya Model Residential Schools has recently recruited 707 JSAs & 7,702 Teaching/Non-Teaching Staff across the nation. Out of 47 JSAs appointed for Telangana, 44 belong to just one state, Haryana, & none from Telangana.

The situation is similar in other southern states. You’ll hardly find anyone from #SouthIndia in the whole staff list. The problem is much bigger than you might imagine. Take a few minutes & go through this thread 👇

(1/N)

In #Telangana, there are 23 functional EMRS. A month ago, 46 JSAs & 478 Teaching/Non-Teaching staff were recruited. Out of the 46, 44 are from Haryana, with none from Telangana. Out of the 478, excluding Telugu teachers, there are hardly any from Telangana.

Before discussing the consequences, let us understand why there are hardly any from South India 👇

(2/N)

The primary reason why, despite applying in thousands, South Indians failed to get selected is 👇

Qualifying the Hindi Language Test is MANDATORY to become a teacher at Ekalavya Model Residential School for all subjects. Can anyone explain the logic behind why a candidate from a non-Hindi speaking state aspiring to be a Physics teacher must qualify for the Hindi Language Test?

Aren’t we losing the most potential Physics, Biology, Maths, Chemistry, History, Geography, etc. teachers from South India just because they do not know Hindi?

#MustRead 🚨

Put aside your political affiliations for a while & read this thread 👇

Acc to documents accessed by the OCCRP, #Adani Group purchased 'low-grade' coal from an Indonesian company at a cost of $28per tonne. The same shipment was then sold to Tamil Nadu Generation & Distribution Company as high-quality coal for $91.91 per metric tonne.

It is estimated that TANGEDCO overpaid ₹6,000 crore for coal from all vendors between 2012-16

(1/5)

Now that a state govt power company has ended up paying more money, do you know who is going to compensate for it?

• This overpricing has implications for ordinary Indian citizens, who end up paying higher bills.
• The much bigger issue is that burning lower-quality coal causes more pollution, which was responsible for over 1.6 million deaths in India in a year.

(2/5)

Tweeting about this a month ago, Rahul Gandhi said, “After June 4, INDIA Alliance govt will investigate this mega scam & account for every penny looted from the public.”

Now that you understand the problem, keep reading to find out what is happening in Congress-ruled Telangana 👇

‘#Coalgate: Modi Govt's strategic attempt to kill public & govt owned entities’ #MustRead #SaveSingareni 🚨

As you read this, #NDAGovt is launching its 10th round of Commercial Coal Mines Auction for 60 Coal Blocks today in Hyderabad, including blocks in Telangana.

In simple terms, auctioning coal blocks is similar to owning the hospital but leasing all the beds to private players. Know what’s happening👇

(1/5)

Let's understand the motives behind these auctions:

• In 2015, govt auctioned two coal blocks: Gare Palma IV/1 fetched a bid of ₹1,585/tonne, while Gare Palma IV/7 fetched ₹2,619/tonne. Both bids were subsequently cancelled, citing the first bid as too low & the second for violating certain conditions.

• Re-auction took place in 2020. The first block, containing 159.4 million tonnes of coal, was sold for ₹342.25/tonne, significantly lower than the ₹1,585 bid in 2015. The second block was sold for nearly 60% less than its previous bid in 2015.

Isn’t the loss of publicly owned entities benefiting private players through these auctions?

Add on: A private company that contributed ₹25 crore via Electoral Bonds on 7th Oct 2022 won the Gare Palma IV/6 coal mine auction on 10th Oct.

(2/5)

“Not privatization, just auctioning": Union Minister Kishan Reddy.

Now, Modi Govt is auctioning blocks in #Singareni, which is essentially an attempt at complete privatization. As mentioned, when you own a hospital but lease out all the beds, what do you actually own?

Visaka Steel Plant is a prime example of their conspiracy towards eventual privatization. The plant was deliberately pushed into losses through various means. Bailadila iron ore mines were handed over to Adani's company, contributing to VSP's losses. Efforts were underway to sell it off.

However, as the people of AP voted for regional forces who are now playing a key role, they have been able to safeguard the interests of the state.

Election Commission of India or Extremely Compromised Institution of India?’ #Thread 🚨

Like never before, #ECI has refused to publish data on the ‘total number of voters’ & ‘total number of votes polled.’ What’s happening?

By the end of Phase 4, EC’s updated polling data shows an increase of 1.07 crore votes in total, which means a difference of 28,000 votes in every constituency. By the very end, this difference could reach 2 crore, which is enough to influence the outcome of an election.

(1/5)

For ex, in Dhule, Maharashtra, there was an increase of 85,943 votes! Why is there an increase of 85,943 total votes polled in just 24 hours?

A small percentage increase can be understood, but 86,000 votes difference? If everything is alright, why is the ECI refusing to publish data on the total number of votes polled?

(2/5)

EC says: There is no legal mandate to provide Form 17C to anyone other than a polling agent.

Fact: Rule 93 of the Conduct of Elections Rules allows people to inspect and take copies of Form 17C.

How openly EC is lying in the Supreme Court. Just wow! 🙏

#MustRead Thread 🚨

Now that '#Modi' ji finally talks about '#Adani' & also acknowledges his black money,

Can we expect ED, IT, CBI, etc., to finally act on all the long overdue occurrences as mentioned below?👇

(1/10)

On how did Adani became the Biggest airport operator in india by killing all other companies and by tweaking hundreds of rules?

Ruled & Policies tweaked 👇

1) Changed rules to allow new entrants with no prior experience to run Airports & allowed monopoly by giving all 6 airports to #Adani

2) Handing over of 6 airports to #Adani for a period of 50 years is in complete violation of AAI Act, 1994 which says no airport can be leased out to any private player for more than 30 years.

3) The Ministry of Civil Aviation showed undue urgency to complete the transaction before February 28, 2020. Paving the way for Adani Enterprises to win the bid

4) #AAI did not evaluate the quotes of Adani Enterprises with the ‘Existing Per passenger Fee’ to check how profitable & feasible the bid can be.

5) The Project Report submitted to #PPPAC is completely inconclusive. Surprisingly, #AAI did not study the project before leasing out the airports

6) Above all, several experienced players like #GVK are troubled using #CBI & #ED so #Adani gets it all.

This probably is the biggest corruption at policy level in the history of India. Can we expect the agencies to act now?

(2/10)

On how did Adani secure⁠ #Dharavi project after series bidder.

2019: Officials from the DRP write to Seclink, inviting them to a meeting.

(Tender Cancelled)

2022: BJP forms the govt with the Eknath Shinde faction & Fadnavis becomes the Urban Development Minister. A fresh tender is issued.

(Many norms in the tender are tweaked to favor Modi's Adani)

2023: Fadnavis's last act before handing over the housing department was to formally approve the Adani-Dharavi project.

Key rules tweaked to favor the obvious man:

- The required technical experience was changed from 'Should have built 25 million sq ft in the last 7 years' to '6 million sq ft in the last 7 years'.
- A new condition was introduced, requiring the financial partner to have the reality experience of building 1.4 million sq ft, thereby preventing Seclink from bidding again.
- The previous mandatory cash requirement of Rs 10,000 crore or equivalent was now replaced with a 'net worth certificate' of Rs 20,000 crore, making it easier for cash-strapped Adani.
- The bid amount payment structure was also changed from a 'one-time bullet payment' to 'to be paid in installments'.

Can we expect the agencies to act now?
