‘#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👇

#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?

#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 👇

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.

‘#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.

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?

#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?

“Moral code of conduct or Modi code of conduct?" 🚨 #Thread

• Opposition parties have registered at least 27 complaints to EC on #Modi, yet not a single action has been taken!

• Over 17,400 citizens have written to the EC seeking action against Modi for hate speech, but no action has been taken!

The video posted on the official handle of the #BJP is so full of hate that even Instagram had to respond & delete the video, yet the EC remains silent.

Let us look at a few of the many violations of the BJP 👇

‘Exposing the backdoor alliance of BJP & Congress in Telangana’ 🚨 (#MustRead: Read all tweets)

In the recent #Telangana Elections, both national parties, BJP & Congress, collaborated to defeat BRS. While it may initially surprise you, the following explanation with evidences will shed light on their strategic alliance.

Series of events over the past couple of months👇

July, 2023: Bandi Sanjay out, Kishan Reddy in. BJP leadership, realised that T-BJP's strength is insufficient to defeat BRS, strategically decided to support Congress. Over the next three months, Congress propagated a secret alliance between #BRS & BJP. #BJP continued to remain silent throughout, adhering to their plan to benefit Congress.

(1/N) Important Observations during the Election Campaign 👇

• Medigadda

- NDSA hastily released a report on Medigadda. Normally, it takes a minimum of 4 days for anyone to thoroughly visit & inspect Medigadda, Annaram & Sundilla. However, #NDSA team only spent a day visiting the Medigadda bridge & released report. What's even more intriguing is that the expert committee provided a report without visiting the Annaram & Sundilla barrages.

- #Kaleshwaram Project obtained various approvals, including cost appraisal, technical advisory committee, central soil and material, construction machinery consultancy, hydrology, inner state matters, irrigation planning, ministry of agriculture & farmers welfare, and many more (All the dates can be seen below)

MustRead #Thread on how Congress is spreading venom on #Kaleshwaram (Read all tweets) 🚨

#Claim: Minister Uttam Reddy says the Pranahita-Chevella project was viable & will be reconsidered by re-examining the proposal to construct the barrage at Tummidihatti.

#Reality: Their own PPT clearly states that the Maharashtra Govt strictly wanted a lowering of the FRL & minimization of submergence, which means a tentative diversion of only 44 TMC is possible at FRL +148.00m instead of the envisaged 160 TMC at FRL +152.00m.

• Despite being in govt at Delhi, Maharashtra, and United AP, the Congress Govt in AP failed to get approval from the neighboring Maharashtra & failed to even start any construction at Tummidihatti.

Check what the then CM of Maharashtra wrote to the then CM of AP in 2013. Read below (Pic Attached):

“AP Govt should not proceed with unilaterally decided layouts & control levels as it may lead to unfruitful expenditure.”

• #Congress govt failed to obtain consent from the neighboring state & initiate the actual project but succeeded in revising the costs. From ₹17,875 Cr to ₹38,500 Cr & finally ₹40,300 Cr in just 3 years (Pics Attached).
