Narendra Modi praised Ajanta Clock maker in April, 2022

 People have short Memory: Modi Praised Ajanta Clockmaker On Nationally Televised Speech on April, 2022

Most Indians have forgotten that Modi had inaugurated "Lord Hanuman Statue" at Morbi on 15-16th April, 2022 via video conferencing.  And all TV channels showed that speech Nationally, all over India. 

Those very TV channels are forgetting to highlight that Modi called that part of country as "Mini-japan". Let me quote verbatim from that report:

"He noted the resilience of Morbi as it is thriving centre of industries today. The Prime Minister said, if we look at brass from Jamnagar, engineering from Rajkot and clock industry of Morbi, it gives a feeling of ‘Mini Japan’."

 Any Indian even those with minimal IQ knows that, By clock industry of Morbi only Ajanta were meant. 

Is it only sheer coincidence, the Morbi Hanging Bridge renovation contract to Oreva/Ajanta was given by local municipal body (incidentally Ruled by Modi's party BJP) was signed in and around that period only.

So shouldn't the responsibility of Accidents in "Mini Japan" aka Morbi, fall on the guy who coined this term.

 Why is Modi's favourite clock-maker from Morbi absconding now? Is Time is not on their side now?

You are read all about Modi's speech on Hanuman Jayanti here https://newsonair.gov.in/News?title=PM-Modi-virtually-unveils-statue-of-Lord-Hanuman-at-Morbi-in-Gujarat-on-the-occasion-of-Hanuman-Jayanti&id=439238

Who gave Ajanta Clock maker, Morbi bridge contract?

 Who will ask Bhalodia, who will put the Billionaire clock maker and Modi Fan in jail?

Two business man, probably a father-son duo, both Bhalodia, Jaysukhbhai Bhalodia and Chintan Bhalodia names turn up. 

They are large and popular Ajanta Wall clock maker and recently created Oreva Company to market Made in china, CFL lights. And they are a huge campaign contributor of BJP. Before popularity of Air-conditioning, they made ceiling fans and solar calculator, with the brand name Orpat.

They were well looked up by BJP also, getting large and I mean huge lands of agriculture and converted them into industrial land and now trying to reconvert them into housing projects.

 Now as part of Modi's plan to give away all historic landmarks to private operators to make quick bucks, as they did to Red fort in Delhi, they did this scam in Morbi , Gujarat.  They scam is instead of "Repair or Restoration" projects, tenders are floated for "Renovation and Maintenance ".

Now "Jhulto Pul" or Hanging bridge had no such huge historical significance, initially built to allow "Rulers of Morvee Princely State" to cross Machchu River to visit temples on the other side of palace.

So they used the other feature of the Bridge is that it sways in high wind and Ajanta/Oreva sold tickets to the bridge as if it will always sway and swing. There are few video of people trying desperately to sway the bridge.  

What a cheap price for a human life, Rs. 17 for adults, 5 for children. That's what Oreva Company earned by selling tickets to Bridge, not to cross the river but to sway with the bridge. 

Morbi is no stranger to massive Disasters, young people may not know, thousands had died in 1979 when Machchu river dam collapsed and villages like leelapur were wiped out. But that was due to heavy rain, a natural disaster.  That was not due to greed . Even when Dam collapsed in 1979, Morbi Bridge did not collapse. 

I am always critical of Indian Media and rightfully so, but NDTV must be commended for reaching to the office of Oreva and Ajanta. And they also reached to Hospital to talk to the survivors And got the "Bridge Ticket" scam out.
