It is like, we know the regime is nearing its use-by date so everyone grift every which way you can.
CM मोहन यादव की सरकार ने भोपाल ग्लोबल इन्वेस्टर्स समिट में 30,77,00,00,00,000 यानी 30.77 लाख करोड़ रुपए के निवेश का दावा किया था. गृह मंत्री अमित शाह ने मंच से इस आंकड़े की घोषणा की. लेकिन जब इस दावे की पड़ताल हुई तो निवेश प्रस्तावों की सूची में बंद हो चुकी मोमोज की दुकान से लेकर चिकनी आत्मा तक के नाम मिले.
सबसे पहले खर्च का हिसाब समझिए-
मार्च 2024 से नवंबर 2025 के बीच सरकार ने निवेशकों को आकर्षित करने और इसके प्रचार-प्रसार व आयोजनों पर करीब 230 करोड़ रुपए खर्च किए.
इसमें निवेश सम्मेलनों और बैठकों पर 186.64 करोड़ रुपए, CM की तीन विदेश यात्राओं पर करीब 34 करोड़ रुपए और देश के नौ शहरों में निवेश बैठकों पर 9.05 करोड़ रुपए खर्च हुए. रुपए किस कदर बहाए गए इसका अंदाजा लगाइए कि अकेले भोपाल के दो दिवसीय ग्लोबल इन्वेस्टर्स समिट पर करीब 82 करोड़ रुपए खर्च किए गए.
अब जरा 30.77 लाख करोड़ रुपए के निवेश के दावे की हकीकत भी देखिए-
एक बंद हो चुकी मोमोज की दुकान Mishti Momos के नाम पर 50 करोड़ रुपए, एक हेयर सैलून के नाम पर 3,000 करोड़ रुपए, चिकनी आत्मा के नाम पर 5 करोड़, दरवाजे पर वसीयत के नाम पर 1 करोड़, व्यवसायी के नाम पर 15 करोड़, शोरूम के नाम पर 5 करोड़ और कंप्यूटर के नाम पर 100 करोड़ रुपए के निवेश प्रस्ताव दर्ज मिले.
इसके अलावा, किसान, नॉट एप्लीकेबल, बहनों का संग्रह, अक्टूबर और किसान मोर्चा जैसे नामों में से प्रत्येक के नाम पर 200 करोड़ रुपए के निवेश प्रस्ताव दर्ज थे.
वैसे, मैं भी यही सोच रहा हूं कि ये कैसे अंड-बंड, संड टाइप नाम हैं, जो करोड़ों-अरबों के निवेश प्रस्तावों की सूची में शामिल हैं.
हैरानी की बात है कि Kaymli Ventures नाम की एक कंपनी के नाम पर 3 लाख करोड़ रुपए का निवेश प्रस्ताव दर्ज था. जबकि कंपनी के वित्तीय रिकॉर्ड के मुताबिक 2024-25 में उसका कोई राजस्व नहीं था और साल के अंत में उसके पास नकद व बैंक बैलेंस मिलाकर सिर्फ 10,556 रुपए थे.
है न कमाल
सरकार ने 30.77 लाख करोड़ रुपए के निवेश का जो दावा किया है, अब जनता को यह भी बताया जाना चाहिए कि हकीकत में कितना निवेश आया, कितनी परियोजनाएं जमीन पर उतरीं और इस पूरे प्रचार का ठोस आर्थिक परिणाम क्या रहा. सरकार सिर्फ आंकड़े घोषित करके तो सवालों से मुक्त नहीं हो सकती.
अगर आप इस अनोखी MoU समिट के बारे में विस्तार से जानना चाहते हैं और समझना चाहते हैं कि सरकार आपके टैक्स के रुपयों से इन्वेस्टर्स समिट के नाम पर क्या कर रही है, तो साथी @tweets_prateekg की यह पूरी इन्वेस्टिगेशन पढ़िए-

Smriti Irani is crying foul over the weaponisation of social media against the government.
Sounds like a complaint of copyright violation.

Live Reality Test - 27 सालों में कांग्रेस और आप जो नहीं कर पाई वहीं मात्र दो साल के अंदर आधा से ज्यादा दिल्ली में यमुना जी को दिल्ली की भाजपा सरकार ने साफ कर दिया, और जो बचा है वो भी जल्दी ही साफ़ हो जाएगा!
भाजपा सांसद @ManojTiwariMP जी ने तो डुबकी लगाकर 30 KM तक दिल्ली की साफ़ यमुना लाइव दिखा दिया, केजरीवाल जी आप कब आ रहे हो डुबकी लगाने?
I remember reading @amitangshu 's draft, and then the final text, way back when. This excerpt is... appalling for its blatant plagiarism. Hey, @PenguinIndia , not so long ago you were making a big think of fact-checking. Do you do plagiarism checks too?
A scholar from #Bangladesh shared this excerpt from a @PenguinIndia book published in the @dailystarnews today. She felt the text was too familiar to something I had written three years. So I read this excerpt and it was truly shocking!👇

😂 Plot twist in Varanasi: BJP has discovered “Vote Chori”!
• Opposition questions elections → BJP calls it an excuse for losing.
• BJP faces defeat in Varanasi MLC polls → Suddenly, according to them, SP has done vote Chori😂😂
• BJP workers accuse election officials of irregularities.
• BJP demands recounting and protests outside the counting centre.
Yesterday:
Vote Chori is opposition propaganda!
Today: Hamare votes chori ho rahe hain! 😂
Dear BJP, so questioning election transparency is acceptable only when YOU are losing?
Welcome to the Vote Chori debate!
So then why are you hellbent on using EVMs, @ChouhanShivraj ? Oh btw, of 28 seats, the BJP won 13 and the Opposition 15. Also because of ballot papers, no?
Does this apply to the BJP guys who have been protesting in various parts? Asking for a friend.

These promises are written on water, seemingly. Here is a timeline:
In 2017 the NGT established the "Maily Se Nirmal Yamuna Revitalisation Plan" with a completion target of March 31, 2017.
In 2021, Manish Sisodia -- then deputy CM -- promised to clean the Yamuna completely within three years (by 2024).
In 2025, the draft NCR Regional Plan set a deadline for 2026 to ensure zero discharge of untreated sewage and industrial effluents.
In 2027, the Centre’s 30-point action plan targeted the completion of major interventions, including the operationalization of new sewage treatment plants, by 2027.
Now this. Also, here, a story from the Hindu: thehindu.com/news/cities/Del…
On the plus side, at least Shah didn't say Yamuna will be clean in 2047 -- though I suspect we will get there in time

After the raging success of Uttarakhand investment summit comes MP’s own list of proposed investments…50 crore by a momo shop and 5 crore by something called Chikni Aatma and more
One might imagine Madhya Pradesh’s list of proposed investments to be a serious document. But this one included a hair salon worth ₹3,000 crore, “October” at ₹200 crore, “Chikni Aatma” at ₹5 crore and a momo shop at ₹50 crore that shut two years ago.
Stay tuned for the full investigation by Prateek Goyal. Out soon on Newslaundry!
😂
Seriously, though, this report makes sense now -- there is an upside to keeping the country uneducated:

Was great to sit down with Jarrod for Commbox to discuss and introduce my new T20 Theory Primer, rant about the state of cricket data, and talk about why analytics really hasn't broken through despite some notable successes.

“Foreigners” always meant Muslims. Advani was dogwhistling away about this in Assam in the late 90s. He wanted an ID card that serve as the proto-database to identify Muslims. The project lay dormant for nearly a decade and was revived as Aadhaar. I wrote a book about it.
🚨The SIR has repeatedly been sold as an exercise to identify “illegal foreigners”. Data from at least six states shows only 1,600 found in a combined electorate of over 98 million. Also no standardised SOPs were issued which means several states didn’t even collect this data. @htTweets
Point 2 is what I have been practicing for a long time now. (Yay for the block button).
