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.

 Another TATA Misadventure in the sky

While Bogus "Indian Media" goes Ga-Ga about "TATA-Airbus" deal, very few knows it is a deal between Debt Ridden TATA Advanced Systems Limited and financially unsustainable CASA of Spain. This deal has taken place only because Union Government decided to purchase not so popular and costly C-295 planes, not one but 62 of them.

 16 of them were to be procured from Spain right away, 46 to be assembled somewhere in India within a period of 10 years. All these were reported by Indian Media and even Indian Correspondent of Jane's Weekly reported that way back in 2019 ( See the link ) ; Back then they promised to set up the plant near Bangalore in Karnataka. Now TATA's this outfit is based out of Telangana, set up in 2006 in a village south of Hyderabad (it was part of Andhra Pradesh then) and got huge Freebie in terms of land procurement. 

Opposition party from Maharashtra, now claims they were promised is Aircraft Assembly Plant, but obviously Airbus Aka CASA needed some place closer to a sea-port to reduce cost and Elections coming to Gujarat, therefore the plant is being set up near Vadodara. One would have thought TATA would reuse the closed Nano plant, but that belongs to TATA Motors, not TASL. Land will be given for free to TATA and Government of India run (although they are listed companies and public bought shares) Banks will fund the misadventure and more, so what the hell.

Back in 2016, TASL was restructuring Rs 70,00,00,000 in debt in addition to similar Restructuring of Debt , every year before and possibly every year since.

And yes, No TATA was ever in the board of Directors of TASL, That's just the brand name, TATA Sons use just to attract easy credit and gullible retail investors during IPO.

One might remember, TATA Group also has a JV with Lockheed Martin, which was set up also in Andhra Pradesh, had to restructure debts amounting to  375000000 Rs, in 2017.

Back then , TATA group claimed that they will make Hyderabad its Aeronautics hub. But now, it seems the their hub revolves round "Modi's Election Plans", so not Hyderabad but Vadodara gets the Assembly plant. And the funny part is both Joint Venture firms, TATA-Lockheed Martin and TASL are registered to same address:

Hardware Park, 

Plot No 21,Sy No 1/1,

Imarat Kancha Raviryala Village,

 Maheshwaram Mandal Hyderabad Hyderabad TG 501218 IN, Telangana

 Both showing same immovable assets as collateral to same banks and same bank management agreeing to both.

Is this a scam? I don't know, this seems a misadventure at best and just like TATA Lockheed Martin can't get any sale outside Indian Defence Forces, this venture too shall be constrained by same.

One thing is for sure, the employees will have no job security or retirement benefits and the plant will close down at most in 7 to 10 years from now, just like the TATA Nano plant. 

Just that, gullible public will vote in droves for BJP and BJP  government will forego TATA's debt. What a Ponzi, Sir-ji!!

New Ropeway Scams of Modi : Godi Media Silent

 New Ropeway scam of Modi: Godi Media Silent. 

I am a longtime supporter of Ropeways and sustainable tourism in Himalayas, even adventure and winter sports (except snowball throwing, which is most popular in India). And I always wondered why we can't have nice ropeways, when even Nepal has some.

So I was actually very happy to know, Kedarnath & Badrinath will get 2 ropeways, so I read the Modi doing "Foundation stone" of ropeways news. The ceremony was of course a grandstanding and hyperbole exercise to garner Hindu right wing votes, still it could have been beneficial in the long run. No adventure sports enthusiasts but pilgrims will be transported by the cable cars here. Still better than highly polluting cars and choppers. 

Price Tag , Oh the Price Tag 

2430,00,00,000 Rupees,  yes, 2430 crore rupees. 

To compare Ropeways costs, specially alpine / Himalayas ropeways , the trick is to convert the project cost in Euro(s). Currency conversion is easy these days, divide by 81 , for approximations, by 80.

So round about,  30 crore or 300 million euros.  Fine, it involves 2 ropeways,  150 million euro each.

But I know, state of the art ropeways are getting installed in Europe for 30-40 million euros.

Ropeways of these kind are a duopoly globally,  Either Leitner or Doppelmayr does that. I don't know who bagged the project. Indian Media reports are never that detailed.

Would anyone care to explain the astronomical costs? 

Don't try Himalayas is taller than Alps argument. 

Ropeways in Alps always end at sky slope top or Mountain top , whereas these ropeways are terminating in a valley, near temple towns.

While giving the altitude argument, also remember, they is ropeway / cable car planned and for much shorter distance, Tender value was another astronomical, 641 crore for merely 3.8 km travel from Varanasi cantonment metro to Gondolia park. 

Surely, Modi will lay another foundation stone there, come next election.

Again Modi Lied, again Zero noise in Indian Media

 Again Modi Lied, again total silence among Opposition and Media. 

Today in some Arms Expo at Gandhinagar in Gujarat (How ironic, Arms Expo held at the city named after champion of Non-violence, Mahatma Gandhi), PM Modi Claimed that India used to import Arms Import from around the world, but since "Make in India" campaign, India does not do that.

But Global arms trade watchdog "International Peace Research Institute, Stockholm" still puts India as world's largest arms importer for last 5 years arms trade. Interestingly even when Oil rich Saudi Arabia has been buying everything that kills for last few years. 

Now obviously, Indian Media's General Knowledge is very poor and Opposition parties are for show in India, nobody picked this up. Even Putin faces more opposition in Russia than Modi does in India. 

Disgusting, Disgusting, Disgusting! I will go back to old habit of not listening to any word this diabolical liar says, because I can't tolerate lies and my blood pressure spikes up.

Meanwhile US Dollar crept up to Rs. 83 in Indian day trade, clear sign of trade deficit growing bigger and FII Day trade not being favorable for India. 

But India is now "Cheetah palo, Cricket khelo" mode, nobody has any spine left. Activists are spending years in jails and convicted rapists are getting early release.

If Silence were a crime, everyone in India would be criminal.

One Nation, One Urea Factory: BJP'S Free Market Hypocrisy

 One Nation, One Urea Factory: BJP's Free Market Hypocrisy is astounding. 

This announcement came from None other than Indian Prime Minister Mr Modi yesterday.  So he ended up saying "Multiple Companies creating same useful products" is nothing but "Scuffle among companies" , his limited understanding seems to suggest "one brand ie Monopoly is best way to price stability" and he also named that brand "Bharat" , the hindi name for India. 

Monopoly loving price rigging Prime Minister isn't even aware how "Retail product pricing" is done, after production, transport-insurance-labour handling charges are added. So consumers near the factory get to pay less than consumers at the farthest part of company. 

Neither is he aware that when there are multiple producers of the same Useful product then just to attract more consumers, companies try to offer lowest price.  Urea market were not even in perfect competition stage in India,  it was merely Oligopoly, but there were few Government aided fertilizer companies who were given subsidies in past to keep Fertiliser prices (and in turn input costs of farmers ) in check . 

Over last one decade, Fake and Fraudulent "Free Market Loving" Economists lobbied hard to get rid of Fertiliser subsidies and now they are silent at "One Nation, One Urea Company" concept. Barring this blog, you would not see any criticism of this concept. 

On odd day, Modi advises to methane capture from garbage rotting in drain and cooking with it and local fertiliser production by villagers from "Cowdung gas plant" and on even days, Modi Says "One large factory for Urea supply of whole nation " .

India's biggest problem is now that Indian Press is not only deaf and dumb , but blind also. TV channels have only one job, "Sell potato chips while spreading hate against Muslims " , so nobody will say anything against "Urea Monopoly" and impending doom of Fertiliser shortages in many parts of country . 

When this utopian concept was first leaked, they said Government will give 90% subsidy and now of course, that bit is omitted, no chamcha reporter managed to say, what amount of subsidy (if any) will be given.  Forget asking what will be "Cost to Government budget" and is that even Provisioned for in the Union Budget.

WHO Scandalously Unaware: Coronavirus Pandemic still rages on in Europe

 WHO Scandal: Coronavirus Pandemic still rages on, in Europe 

Perhaps Big Pharma Companies aren't paying bribes as they used to do for SARS-Cov2 medicines and vaccines to WHO scums, they had shut the shop of Pandemic and opened an "Ukraine War" counter. As fall approaches Northern Hemisphere, countries like Germany, France and Italy are reporting huge increases in weekly Coronavirus cases and even fatalities. 

Come November, "Pandemic is over" pansies will vanish in the thin air in North America and Europe. Expected is that most people where given "vaccine" in Europe this year also in Europe, if that is the case then they are providing very little (almost zero) immunity given the high caseload in Europe in early October. 

But WHO was the conductor of the "Vaccine Cabal Philharmonic Orchestra" and they need to run for cover when shit hits the fan this winter. 

Last Winter , we got lucky as mild Omicron strain were most dominant and yes I did call it mild, much to the angst and fury of "Dogs of WHO". This winter it won't be that lucky, BF.1, BF.5 are already causing trouble thanks "Tourism Boost of 2022 Summer" and the worst part is these can stay Asymptomatic Incubation for months. 

Thanks to "Fraud Impersonator of Scientists", who said no need for RTPCR testing after vacationing or cross continent travel . 

3 years has passed, no company came up with a blood sample based RTPCR testing for Asymptomatic cases. Surprise, Surprise.  

Real Reason of Stopping Pandemic News and Precautions 

1. Western World is already in Recession and that's not even related to Pandemic this time. It was caused by Crude price rise thanks to War in Ukraine and capitalist Central Banks waking up to the fact, interest rates can't stay negative forever (or ever, although Japan and Switzerland still using that utopian cocaine). While high energy prices are driving inflation into hyperinflation, higher interest rates slows it down , therefore reopen Tourism,  Whore-houses and Airlines etc. etc.

2. People are literate everywhere, but poorly educated; so they can't differentiate between Caution and Panic... therefore Stop testing and stop reporting, after all, General practitioners can't test Fever cases themselves.  That's the modus operandi of WHO and WHO-licking-Media.

3. Everyone knows SARSCOV2 becomes dormant in Heatwave. So serious cases came down in US and Europe. 

4. Even Fraud Fauci has packed his bags and leaving his advisory position in December.  One guess is Moderna and Pfizer CEOs will be incomunicado as Winter Outbreak among the vaccinated will hit a peak.

5. Even the self-styled "Emperor of Free World" Joe Biden gave the election promise to Americans, "I'll follow the Science (whoever He or She is)" and Criticized Donald "Duck" Trump, when he stupidly said "Stop Mass Testing".

But Joe Biden is doing what Trump had asked, he stopped testing.

 6. Election, Election everywhere. As per clinical study in India, Election Campaigns never spread airborne Coronavirus... only visiting restaurants without musk does. Just kidding, these kind of stupid restrictions were there, but no study has been conducted.  But 2022 had many important elections in this summer and in Brazilian Spring and US midterm elections of fall are yet to come.  After all, what's 100-200 thousand extra deaths worth, definitely not worth breaking "Global Puppet Order" .

In Conclusion 

Wear a clean N95 Mask, wash it after use, keep reusing till fibres start wearing off.

At least, you can all wear a reusable mask and change clothes when you come indoors. I assure you, I have no commercial Interest in Mask Business.  Stay safe and be cautious for next 4 months.

Hello Fridays for Future Kids

 Hello Kids of Fridays for Future 

 

 

Hello Kids, It's been long time since we have heard from you and even Politicians has stopped giving lip service to you. Some of you might have moved to college now and driving fossil fuel powered cars. 

I thought I would share with you how many oil wells are active now . Take a look at this picture, red dots symbolize active fires and 95% of red dots in this image are methane exhaust burning from oil wells, so these not only pollute the atmosphere but also produce oils for cars, electricity for Western and westernized worlds. They in turn emit many folds of greenhouse gases. 

But they basically create huge profits for few Big oil companies, thanks to structure created by Big banks and Politicians. Sometimes they are based on Geopolitical Sanctions, sometimes based on futures contracts.  Big Business rakes in Big Money, economic activities keep on happening. 

Recession or No Recession, the poor locals and migrant workers will continue to live in treacherous conditions in Middle east as Kings and Presidents amass great wealth by plundering the planet. 

Do you want to know a survival strategy, spend your next summer vacation or at least parts of it in a desert. That's what earth will turn to, thanks to BP, ExxonMobil,  Shell, Aramco and shale oil companies. 

Don't waste your Fridays on Green politics and don't waste your life following "Earth Summit" or COP ... because "The World Leaders" are hypocrites and as are their pet Media. On last November, these bunch of hypocrites promised "Net Zero Emissions", now they will quietly retire to their "Kickback & Bribe earned" lives.  These days "Green Joe Biden" says, every oil well must produce to their maximum, because that's what "The Great Game of Russia" and ongoing war demands. 

These wars are made by Politicians, so they can make easy u-turn on their promises and as long as such huge powers of waging war reside in select few, their would be one war or another. 

Look at uranium producing countries of West Africa, peace is always illusive there and poverty always abundant. Always in middle of civil war and military coups, on behest of "Big Mining Companies" and if Electric Batteries become next big fad, then there would be "Lithium Wars" too. 

So in short, on Coming Fridays, stay in your classroom and study hard. Don't become pawns of someone else's chess game. Good luck and all the best for your future.
