Hello @NetflixIndia the next time you want to name a reporter character Sandhya, show her uncovering illegal sand mining, create a Tamil villain, and pick bits & pieces from MY real life story which was pitched to you TWICE in 2022 and 2023, AND not give me any credit at the least.... Think hard and well.
Thankfully it was a supremely crappy movie with ham performances and @ParineetiChopra was nothing like me. In fact she was nothing like any reporter & the newsroom portrayal was idiotic & amateurish. You've been clever enough to try & escape a lawsuit by altering the story enough.
You owe me a public apology at the very least but I'm certain you have no moral fibre in you to do so.
Shame on you all, especially the director-writer Dhruv Tripathi. Stealing other people's hard work and making money sneakily out of it.

Dear Madam FM @nsitharaman : Request your detailed explanation on what happened with the bids for @IDBI_Bank and the allegation of fresh valuation after opening bids. Were this to happen in a private company instead of @FinMinIndia - heads would have rolled by now or a detailed explanation offered!
We all know how @INCIndia has used Banks and financial institutions as personal entities and pressured bank employees to extend loans at their whim, bypassing prudent lending norms.
Let me list a few instances.
- In 1957, Haridas Mundra got money from LIC due to influence by the Congress leaders.
- In 1976, Indira Gandhi's government removed SBI Chairman R.K. Talwar after he refused political pressure to relax lending conditions for a company linked to Sanjay Gandhi's circle.
- Sanjay Gandhi pressured the Central Bank of India over loans to Maruti.
- B. Janardhana Poojary, MoS Finance under Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi — pressured bank employees to issue loans in the 1980s.
- Pawan Kumar Bansal, as a minister in the UPA, pressured Canara Bank to give loans to his family-linked businesses.
The IDBI Bank was handed over to us in poor shape, as IDBI itself was forced to lend to large business groups with close connections to @INCIndia leaders such as Videocon, Winsome, ABG Shipyard, Kingfisher, etc. These turned into bad loans, causing huge losses for IDBI Bank, which we recognised.
The NDA govt led by Hon'ble PM Shri @narendramodi revived the IDBI bank through professionalism, prudence and recapitalisation of more than Rs 25,000 crores. The IDBI Bank is now poised for its next phase of growth.
All due process has been followed in the IDBI Bank strategic restructuring, and we have already clarified this yesterday.

Many more instances of blatant scams and economic mismanagement have been covered in the White Paper on the Indian Economy released in February 2024. It remains relevant even now.

Your lies with respect to Rafale had failed and were exposed. You had to apologise. The same will happen here.
Congress-era banking had a phonebook for the powerful and a rulebook for the common citizens.
The era of 'connection and setting banking' is over.
Common people now have easy access to loans, and employees are not under pressure to extend loans over the phone calls.

Lol @DelhiPolice deleted this tweet "Say no to Crackers" appeal in less than 5 hours. Almost everyone had predicted this would happen. Wonder if it was after Pressure by the Home Ministry or from someone from the Delhi Govt. 🤣🤣🤣
With agents like Muse and Instinct the problem identification time has drastically reduced in running a business. Its an excellent business analyst, but it hallucinates so you have to keep giving it context and relevance repeatedly
Heard that the new signups on Instincts, even with an invite, are getting onto the waitlist. I guess they are finally experiencing infra blues.
Adventures with instinct - the future for dealing with all customer care who are useless and have made things so tough for a human to reach another human. Ask Instinct to keep trying, and make sure to log a complaint. Me and my friends use it to log DND violation numbers on TRAI.

Now, the next challenge for Instinct would be to get my PF withdrawn from the absolute king of useless sarkari websites, the Government of India EPF portal.
In today's adventure with Instinct, while I am stuck in the Bellandur traffic, I asked it to file an RTI for the status, expenditure, and delay reasons for the Metro Phase 2A. In the next 8 minutes, it has already filed it.

Leader of Opposition @RahulGandhi forcibly being detained from Akashvani by Delhi Police. Scenes from the national capital of the world’s largest democracy.

On Tuesday, the Election Commission said all was well:
The 14 objections by two of its three members were "suggestions," every decision was "unanimous."
With in 48 hours, on Saturday, it issued NINE decisions. Read them against the 14 notes. It's a U-TURN, not in what it says, but in what it does.
And it still leaves some hard Qs unanswered.
Stay with me.
