Nailing the LIES & SCAM of Modi Govt on Vande Bharat train cost

Two days ago, I pointed out how cost of 1 Vande Bharat sleeper train has gone up from ₹290 crores to ₹435 crores

Railways claimed it was "misinformation"

Here's how they're SCAMMING 👇

(1/5) Railways awarded a ₹58,000 crores contract in 2023 for 200 Vande Bharat sleeper trains.

According to the details (see image), the cost comes to ₹130 crores (manufacture) & ₹160 crores (maintainance) per train

TOTAL: ₹290 crores per train

Extremely important:

CBI is allegedly trying to bury the RG Kar rape & murder case to help BJP through a carefully planted conspiracy theory

Complete silence on the case since 6 days & a very dirty game seems to be unfolding right now.

How is it being done?

Thread 🧵 👇 Few days ago, there was a rumor that "Kolkata Police cremated the RG Kar victim's body without the parents."

This was demolished when the parents themselves said that they cremated the body.

Strangely, since yesterday, it is being planted again for a sinister reason

VERY IMPORTANT

BJP has unleashed a sinister toolkit in Bengal. The agenda is focused - to topple the Govt

There's an organized campaign being run by BJP by trending "Mamata Must Resign"

A genuine protest has been hijacked entirely by BJP.

Proof?

Thread with details 🧵 👇 It's been 5 days since CBI took over the case & there's ZERO updates. But not a SINGLE protest has been done against CBI.

Genuine protestors have now been replaced by BJYM & BJP workers on the streets of Kolkata.

In their own words: the ONLY agenda is toppling the Govt

Big exposé

How BJP is using proxy pages to run political ads worth CRORES targeting the Opposition & Facebook & ECI are openly allowing them.

Political advertising on social media has strict rules. However, this is how BJP is bypassing these rules using proxies 👇

(1/8) ECI rules require political parties to disclose expenditure on political ads. Also FB has rules around political ads & requires "transparency" on the sponsor.

But BJP is funding several proxy pages to run ads targeting the Opposition & spending CRORES

Here's examples...

The SHOCKING facts of PM Modi & BJP's LIES on "free Covid vaccines":

BJP have constantly said in election campaigns that "Modi gave free Covid vaccines to Indians".

But that is a LIE.

For Covid 19, Modi Govt borrowed a WHOPPING ₹73,384 crores from foreign banks.

Details 👇 Modi Govt borrowed a total of ₹73,384 crores from foreign banks & institutions between 2020-21 (in JUST 1 year) ONLY for Covid-19.

IDA: ₹7,938 cr
NDB: ₹14,772 cr

The HALF-TRUTH about Adani's so-called "make-in-India" drone that was acquired by Indian Navy yesterday.

These Adani drones called "Drishti 10 Starliner" are basically a REBRANDING of the Hermes 900 drone made by Israel's Elbit Systems.

Here's the fishy puzzling part 👇

(1/n) India ordered 4 Hermes 900 Israeli drones in Nov 2023 - 2 for Army & 2 for Navy.

Adani has an agreement with Israel's Elbit to "manufacture" the Hermes 900 in Hyderabad.

What does Adani actually "manufacture"?

THE COMPOSITE FRAME OF THE UAV!

Why is Modi Govt compromising national security by favoring banned Chinese-govt-owned company?

Despite an alleged "ban", Modi Govt continues to give out tenders for equipment from Hikvision - a Chinese govt-owned firm.

And some of these tenders are for SENSITIVE PROJECTS

👇 First a background:

Hikvision is a company owned by the Chinese Govt that has been under the scanner & banned by several countries globally out of concerns of Chinese surveillance.

US, UK, Australia - all have banned CCTV equipment from Hikvision.

Modi Govt SHOCKINGLY gives data of crores of Indians to 2 pvt cos for BJP's election campaigning

On Tue, it was reported that personal data of 81.5 crore Indians was leaked

But here's what: Modi Govt, violating all laws, gives out confidential data for BJP's use 👇

(1/4) BJP has routinely hired 2 firms: Jarvis Consulting & ABM (Association of a Billion Minds) for their election campaigning.

Of these ABM is literally like an in-house team.

These 2 companies target beneficiaries of govt schemes & use them for campaigning for BJP.

How PM Modi fradulently uses a govt website for his "non-govt" PM CARES Fund

All RTI queries about PM CARES Fund are rejected.

When questioned in Delhi HC, PMO claims that PM CARES is "not a govt fund".

But its website is a website.

Details 👇

(1/4)GOV.IN

In response to my RTI, National Informatics Centre told me that PM CARES Fund has been allotted a govt website under "Guidelines for allocating website under the 3rd level"

NIC also said that the govt website domain was allotted on request of PMO

(2/4) GOV.IN

Shocking details on how PM CARES Fund spent ₹1,392 crores purely for Modi's personal foreign PR 👇

During Covid, PM Modi announced "Vaccine Maitri" where 6 crore free vaccines were gifted to other countries (including developed countries)

But who paid for these?

(1/5) According to the 2021 financials released by PM CARES Fund, ₹1,392 crores were spent by the fund to procure 6.6 cr vaccines.

Interestingly, under the "Vaccine Maitri" program, India gifted about 6 crore vaccines to other countries.

Shocking:

BJP used banned Chinese Army-linked companies for 2019 Lok Sabha elections

Modi Govt has invoked UAPA against NewsClick journos for allegedly "getting Chinese money".

But wait - BJP collaborated with Chinese PLA-linked firms for 2019 elections 👇

(1/n) Modi govt has banned 59 Chinese apps claiming that they have deep links with the Chinese Govt & People's Liberation Army (PLA).

The companies include: ShareIT, UC Web Browser, & Tencent.

Now lets look at BJP's official expenditure report for 2019 elections

(2/n)

Shocking:

Modi Govt spent SEVEN TIMES (7x) more than Germany did on hosting G20 Summit

In 2017, Germany hosted the G20 Summit in Hamburg

The total cost, according to Germany's G20 website, was €72 million (₹ 641 crores)

In comparison, how much has the Modi Govt spent? 👇


Modi Govt has spent over € 449 million i.e. over ₹ 4100 crores ONLY ON DELHI

This expenditure is SEVEN TIMES more than what a developed country like Germany spent on the same G20 Summit

For Modi's self-PR for 2024 elections, we have spent a shocking ₹3500 crores extra

(1/4)

SHOCKING!

Modi Govt used ₹1751 crores of public money to enrich an American company for Modi's PR:

During his US visit, Modi signed a deal with the firm Micron for establishing a facility in Gujarat

The deal is worth $2.7 bn i.e. ₹2274 crores

But here's the catch 👇

(1/6) twitter.com/i/web/status/1… 👉 The Micron deal is merely for assembling & testing semiconductor chips

👉 Assembling requires ZERO technological knowledge or transfer. It contributes NOTHING to India's semiconductor vision

👉 Micron benefits from cheap Indian labor & reduces its China exposure

How Modi Govt brazenly LIED to people about theft of personal data of 1 billion+ Indians from CoWIN database:

On 12 Jun, media outlets reported info about personal data of Indians being leaked on Telegram. I too verified & shared data I found.

Then the Modi Govt LIED 👇

(1/7) twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Modi Govt's response:

👉 "reports are baseless and mischievous"
👉 CoWIN data is safe & never been leaked

Min @Rajeev_GoI too tweeted saying:

👉 No breach of CoWIN & data an be from a previous theft

Note that Govt had ALWAYS denied reports of theft in the past.

How the Modi Govt has put blood on our hands, enriched its favorite corporates, & made Indians suffer:

After Russia invaded Ukraine & faced sanctions, India has become the largest importer of Russian oil

Modi Govt claims "it's in India's self interest"

But what's the truth? 👇 twitter.com/i/web/status/1… First, let's understand the scope of Indian imports of Russian oil.

👉 India is now the largest importer of Russian oil. We import almost 2 million barrels per day of Russian oil

👉 Russia now accounts for 45% of our oil imports

👉 Imports increased 1000% in just a year

Important:

After TMC, the Congress too has raised very serious questions regarding irregularities in the MQ9B drone deal with the US

India's 1st & 2nd largest parties in Parliament have asked questions on this deal that the Modi Govt is slyly evading

Sequence of details 👇 twitter.com/i/web/status/1… On 24th June, I, on behalf of @AITCofficial, had flagged serious discrepancies on the pricing of the India-US drone deal.

Prima facie, the $3bn price tag for 31 drones is WAY overpriced compared to what other countries pay.

How PM Modi favored his home state of Gujarat over rest of India in deals signed during his US visit:

During his US visit, PM Modi met corporates seeking investment in India.

Of these, 2 major investments were made by Google & Micron.

But what are these investments? 👇

(1/5) twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Google announced it'd be starting a digital global fintech operation.

Where?

At Gujarat International Finance Tec-City (GIFT) in Gandhinagar, Gujarat.

Also, on Jun 3, Singapore Exchange (SGX) moved all Nifty derivative trades from Singapore to GIFT city in Gujarat.

Modi Govt in panic & damage control mode over covering up details of the MQ9 drone deal with US:

Yesterday, Defense Minister Rajnath Singh made a veiled reference to our allegations on India-US drone deal being heavily overpriced

His speech just raises more questions👇

(1/8) https://t.co/D3Ccvtanfvtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
👉Defense Minister @rajnathsingh said that the deal was approved by the Defense Acquisition Council.

👉He's also said that it's a govt-to-govt deal (ergo NOT with General Atomics)

And MOST IMPORTANTLY, he & Modi Govt have gone completely silent on the cost of the deal.

(2/8)

How the Modi Govt suddenly chickened out & changed its stance on the price of drones being bought from the US:

This happened after I pointed out how other countries have gotten the same drone at much cheaper prices.

Here's how the shocking u-turn by the Modi Govt unfolded
👇 twitter.com/i/web/status/1… 👉 Two days ago, I wrote an extensive tweet thread pointing out that Modi Govt was purchasing MQ9 drones from the US at an INFLATED price.

👉 I pointed out the comparison between $3 billion being announced as India's purchase cost with what other countries have paid.

(1/7)

Modi Govt OVERPAYS for US drones in deal signed by PM Modi (like Rafale) 👇

PM Modi signed an agreement in the US to purchase 31 MQ9B Predator drones for $3.1 billion+.

That's ~ $110 million per drone.

Now let's compare that with the actual price for the SAME drone 👇

(1/5) twitter.com/i/web/status/1… The MQ9B drone being purchased by Modi Govt is also knows as MQ9B Reaper (or Predator) & is made by General Atomics.

Now remember - US purchases drones from pvt companies at market prices.

How much does US Air Force pays for these drones?

$56.5 million per drone

How BJP is mobilizing its cadres in US as "Indian diaspora" for PM Modi's visit 👇

News agency ANI has posted a video of a huge banner being flown in New York by an org called "Federation of Indian Associations (FIA)" to welcome PM Modi.

What is this organization FIA? 👇

(1/8) twitter.com/i/web/status/1… 👉 The "Federation of Indian Associations (FIA)" is a BJP-linked entity that has been praised personally by BJP President @JPNadda

👉 Chairman of the FIA is Ankur Vaidya who has been associated with the BJP & organized programs to welcome prominent BJP leaders
