Twitter’s co-founder and
former boss Jack Dorsey
has reiterated that the
platform received “many
requests” from the Indian
government to block ac-
counts covering farmers’
protests and those critical
of the govt. He has also
said that the platform was
threatened with “a shut
down” and conducting
raids at its employees’
homes in the country.
Minister of State for
Electronics and IT Ra-
jeev Chandrasekhar re-
sponded to Dorsey’s
claims, saying that under
him, Twitter was in “re-
peated and continuous
violations of India law”
and at times “weaponised
misinformation”.
“It manifested in ways

raid the homes of their

which police symboli-

Arun Singh, in-charge of
the public meeting said
that there was loot during
the rule of Gehlot.
“It seems that money
is going to them from the
mafia. Gehlot would be
the first chief minister
under whose rule Sant
Vijay Das had sacrificed
his life against the mine
mafia. This corrupt gov-
ernment has to be uproot-
ed,” he said.

tion Rajendra Rathore

He said that chairs
were lying vacant during
the BJP meeting before
the march. Dotasra said
there were differences
among the BJP leaders.
Hitting back at BJP lead-
ers over the allegations of
corruption, Dotasra said
that the opposition lead-
ers were trying to create
a “perception” to get
votes in the upcoming as-
sembly elections. Dotas-
ra said that BJP leaders
were in fear because it
has no issues or agenda
for the elections.
He said that the party
was contesting elections
on Modi’s face, but now
Modi’s face has also fad-
ed. He also pointed out
that among the speakers
today, there was not a

After opening the box of
announcements, Chief
MinisterAshok Gehlot is
now busy finding a cut
for BJP’s Hindutva card
in the election year. See-
ing the possibility of the
BJP playing a hard card
in the name of Hindutva
in elections, Chief Minis-
terAshok Gehlot has also
started answering in the
same manner.
The pictures of chant-
ing, Havan and Aarti on
this year’s Ram Navami
at the Chief Minister’s
residence are not ordi-
nary, but special. The
head of the state i.e.
Chief Minister Ashok
Gehlot himself is en-
gaged in worship with his
family members and best
friends. Congress feels
that BJP will once again
jump into the election
season of Rajasthan by
playing the hard card of
Hindutva, so why not
find a counter to this
card. Chief Minister
Ashok Gehlot himself
has now taken up the re-
sponsibility for this.
Last year, on the 25th
of June, Gehlot reached
Salasar, the main reli-
gious place of Shekha-
wati. When the proces-
sion of Jaipur’s Govind
Devji was taken out on
August 20 last year, the
CM also joined it.

nehi sect in Ren of Nagaur.
Now the latest discussion
is about visiting the famous
Tripura Sundari temple in
Banswara. This is the same

days, these ‘powerful’ individuals engaged in
outright lobbying and power-pull to save these of-

MISTAKES
TEAM INDIA DID
WHICH PROVED
TO BE COSTLY...
Team India did not cross
the 300-run mark even once
in the WTC final match
India dropped Ashwin and
opted for Umesh Yadav and
Shardul Thakur who were
not in the best of forms
What happened to Jasprit
Bumrah and why was Hardik
Pandya not taken is a mystery
Despite overcast conditions, Rohit
won the toss and opted to bowl
India did not attack Travis
Head right from the word go
Shubman Gill, Rohit Sharma
and Cheteswar Pujara failed
badly and hence India
was denied a good start
Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane
played poor shots and got
out. It was the call of the hour
especially for Virat to score big
n Sunday when
Team India were
reduced to “Ash-
es” (pun intend-
ed) it was a ma-
jor heartbreak for millions of
cricket fans who vouch for
Team India across the world
and especially those who had
rallied behind the team and had
(over)crowded the Oval to
boost the morale of our boys.
Despite all the hype and
hoopla over HIT MAN and
company, we all saw how the
cookie crumbled. India was
lucky to get the advantage of
winning the toss but many feel
its decision and action thereaf-
ter was not right considering
the Oval’s fresh pitch, which
needless to say offered a sig-
nificant amount of seam. But
the rest was there for everyone
to see.
Despite a “strong” team on
paper, Indian bowlers couldn’t
capitalise on the helpful condi-
tions. It was noticeably wit-
nessed that most bowlers kept
the ball on the shorter side for
most part of the game. This al-
lowed Australian batters a field
day to punish India seam attack.
This pathetic defeat of Team
India must open up several dis-
cussions and the main and fore-
most being the mindset of the
Indian Think Tank of not being
able to see beyond the paper
tigers. The benefit of the team
has to gain prominence and not
individual stardom.
Look at what our world fa-
mous batters did at the world
stage. India’s batting was more
miserable than their bowling.
Despite being labelled as the
Hit man and company, they
failed to breach even the 300-
run mark on both occasions!
Also it seemed that skipper
Rohit Sharma was hesitant to
implement body-line bowling
against Head as soon as he en-
tered centrestage. The lack of
planning from the Indian cap-
tain proved costly for Team
India as Head smashed a scin-
tillating winning knock of 163
off just 174 deliveries that too
in a Test Match at this stage.
Also, India looked almost
completely clueless with their
planning when Travis Head
and Steve Smith took the Oz
total to a huge score.
Team India also looked thor-
oughly underprepared for the
World Test Championship. The
team got a reprieve of only
nine-days after the entertaining
Indian Premier League 2023
ended. Team India reached
England in batches to join the
preparation camp and thus got
hardly any time to get ready.
In an ideal situation, the
players should have played a
warm-up match to get accli-
mated to the English condi-
tions but the schedule was ex-
tremely tight. However, in a
post-match statement, head
coach Rahul Dravid lamented
the fact that Team India didn’t
get enough time to prepare for
the WTC Final.
“I’m never going to be hap-
py with the preparations as a
coach. But that’s the reality
I’m ready to accept, and we all
have to accept. The schedules
are so cramped and tight.
These guys know… if you’re
playing international cricket,
and if you’re here 3 weeks be-
fore the tour, playing two side-
games, you are going to be
better prepared,” Dravid had
told Star Sports.
FAULTY TEAM SELECTION!
Post-WTC the hottest topic for
discussion was the non-selec-
tion of Ravichandran Ashwin.
Indian Think Tank made a mas-
sive blunder to exclude the
world’s number oneTest bowler
and second-ranked all-rounder
from the playing XI. Though
Ashwin can take wickets in
every condition, Team Indian
went in with an extra seamer at
the expense ofAshwin.Ashwin
is also a star with the willow. He
has five centuries.
Time and again we have seen
howTeamIndialiterallychoked
whenever it was subjected to
mega knockout matches. Be it
the 2021 T20 World Cup when
the Virat Kohli-led India team
was thrashed by Pakistan or
when the Rohit Sharma-led In-
dia surrendered to England in
the T20 World Cup semi-final
inAdelaide in November 2022.
Whenever it was required, In-
dian batting sensations crum-
bled like cookies and the script
during the WTC final against
Australia was the same. Also
Rishabh Pant was badly missed.
ForAshwin even after claim-
ing 474 Test wickets only enti-
tles him to carry the drinks to
the field, Ashwin might do
some hard thinking about his
future. SAD!!!

WILL INDIA LOOK BEYOND NOW?
Isn’t it high time that the Think Tank did some
course correction? When will the aging war horses
give way to the new and fresh players like Arshdeep
Singh, Umran Malik, Abhimanyu Easwaran,
Sarfaraz Khan. When it the likes of Rinku Singh and
Jasvi Jaiswal be given the chance. With the World
Cup coming up later this year, BCCI must huddle
and bring out the best with whatever time is left or
else there’s no point lamenting later.

Congress leader Rahul

PM Narendra Modi on
Tuesday targeted parties
opposed to BJPincluding
the Congress, TMC and
RJD and said there are
dynastic parties that in-
dulge “in nepotism and
corruption” while the
BJP-led government
works to safeguard the
future of the youth.
Addressing the Nation-
al Rozgar Mela via video
conferencing in which he
distributed about 70,000
appointment letters to
new appointees in vari-
ous government depart-
ments and organizations,
PM Modi said the entire
world is eager to partner
with India in its growth
journey today.
In his speech, the
Prime Minister talked
about the ills of “dynasty
politics and nepotism in
the recruitment process”
without taking the name
of any political party.
In an apparent refer-
ence to reports about the
probe into teacher recruit-
ment scam in West Ben-
gal revealing “rate card”
for appointment to group
D and group C services in
municipalities and mu-
nicipal corporations, he
cautioned the youth about
political parties “which
engage in dynastic poli-
tics and loot the youth in
the name of jobs”.
PM Modi also took
potshots at former Rail-
way Minister and Rash-
triya Janata Dal leader
Lalu Prasad over the
“land-for-jobs scam” and
said the case is being in-
vestigated by CBI and is
pending in courts.

money was the hallmark
of governance” earlier.

Kurukshetra
Farmers protesting over
the MSP for sunflower
seeds at Pipli in Hary-
ana’s Kurukshetra called
off their stir on Tuesday
night after an assurance
from the state govern-
ment of “appropriate
price” for the crop.
BKU leader Rakesh
Tikait said after fresh
talks with the district ad-
ministration in the even-
ing, the farmers have
ended the protest in Ku-
rukshetra’s Pipli and the
national highway block-
ade will be lifted.
Kurukshetra DC Shan-
tanu Sharma said that
farmers have been as-
sured of “appropriate
price” for sunflower crop.
The national highway
in Pipli had remained
blocked for the second
day Tuesday over the
farmers’ demand for
MSPfor sunflower seeds.
On Monday and dur-
ing the day on Tuesday,
there had not been any
headway in talks between
the farmers and district
administration, but the
breakthrough finally
came in the evening.
He had earlier asked
the state government to
accept the demand or
send farmers to jail.
The protesting farmers
had blocked the National
Highway-44 near Pipli,
which connects Delhi
with Chandigarh, and
some other routes since
Monday afternoon after
holding a mahapanchay-
at on the issue.
The farmers had been
demanding that the state
government procure sun-
flower seeds at an MSP
of Rs 6,400 per quintal.
Under the Bhavantar
Bharpai Yojana — price
difference payment
scheme — the state gov-
ernment was giving Rs
1,000 per quintal as inter-
im support for sunflower
crop sold below MSP.

An interesting meeting
of Amit Shah and Min-
ister Govind Meghwal
recently concluded in
Delhi at the lunch table.
Actually Govind Megh-
wal was MLA from BJP
in 2003.
Meghwal told Shah
that he was the only
MLA of the district who
won from BJP in 2003.
Actually at that time
Devi Singh Bhati had
left the BJP and won the
election. Amit Shah said
‘Then what happened?
Why did you leave the
party?’ Meghwal said,
“The ticket was cut,
contested the election
as independent and lost.
Gehlot Sahib gave a
chance, hence, sitting in
front of you.” Actually
in the meeting, Minister
Govind Meghwal put
many issues before
Shah. Amit Shah was
also impressed by
Meghwal’s words. Har-
yana’s Deputy CM Du-
shyant Chautala was
also present at the lunch
table.

With RBI Governor’s ‘warning’, will AU finally ‘handle’its NPAs?
First India Bureau
Jaipur
ou must have
seen and heard
many scams of
many banks,
but today we are intro-
ducing you to some ‘acts’
of AU Bank which is
worrying about the secu-
rity of your money de-
posited in AU Bank.
zWhat was the whole
matter?
In the previous news,
FirstIndiaraisedquestions
on AU Small Finance
Bank keeping its NPAsta-
ble at 2% for last 5 years.
Its financial products are
being sold to customers in
rural areas or to those with
poor civil score or low in-
come group and builders
with high risk profile,
whose money can sink
anytime and NPA can rise
anytime. But despite this,
thecompanyhasstabilized
its NPA at 2% which is a
matter of investigation.
AUSmallFinanceBank
was given the status of
Scheduled Small Finance
Bank by RBI in 2017. The
‘main-men’ behind AU
Bank are Sanjay Agarwal
and Uttam Tibrewal who
started this bank and now
AUBankhasopenedmore
than 900 branches across
the country. Meanwhile,
there were allegations on
AU Bank of showing less
NPA. SEBI also approved
the IPO brought by AU
Small Finance Bank and it
waslistedinthestockmar-
ket. If we study the gross
NPA figures of AU Bank
for the last five years, then
the gross NPA percentage
of the company in the fi-
nancial years 2017-18,
2018-19 and 2021-22 has
been2%.WhileduetoCo-
rona it has been told 4.3%
in the financial year 2020-
21 and 1.7% in the finan-
cial year 2019-20.
In such a situation, if
indeed this NPA is being
keptlimitedto2%through
their ability and manage-
ment skills by the ‘karta-
dharta’ ofAU, who made
it a bank from a finance
company, then this is an
shining example of excel-
lent management! But the
truth is probably some-
thing else. In this case, on
the condition of anonym-
ity, a high-level official of
the bank disclosed that the
bank hid its actual NPAby
going against the rules of
RBI. In the news pub-
lishedearlierinFirstIndia,
the entire matter was dis-
closed in detail.
Taking cognizance of
thiswholematter,RBIhas
issued orders for inquiry
and said that suitable ac-
tion will be taken against
AUSmallFinanceBankif
it is found violating the
existing guidelines. Last
month, for the first time,
the RBI governor had a
meeting with the board
members of the banks, in
which he clearly said that
RBI is aware of all the
gimmicks that banks uses
to hide its bad loans and
show profits. It was ac-
cepted by RBI Governor
Shashikant Das in the
meeting that many banks
are hiding their actual
NPAs by evergreening
loans to hide the status of
stressed loans.
By now you must have
understood the whole sto-
ry. But now let us intro-
duce you to that thing,
through which the black
game of hiding NPA is
played by banks. What is
the evergreening of loan?
Loans that are about to
go into the NPA category,
the bank gives more loans
to the company before de-
fault, and then with this
additional loan, the com-
pany pays its outstanding
instalments. In this the cy-
cle of loans goes on and
that loan does not come
under the category of
NPA. Lender’s loan is ad-
justedinternallyorthrough
office accounts.
There have been many
such cases besides ever-
greening, in which some
banks have adopted differ-
ent tactics to hide their
NPAs, like banks buying
each other’s bad loans, is-
suanceofdebtinstruments
for debt management. To
ensurethatNPApressureis
less, structured deals are
done with bad borrowers
from good borrowers,
funding debtors’liabilities
using internal or office ac-
counts and hiding NPAby
giving loan directly or to
any subsidiary before due
paymenttosettleoldloans,
are some of the old ploys.
Let us tell you that
through a special circular,
the money of various gov-
ernment schemes depos-
ited in government banks
was transferred from gov-
ernment banks and depos-
ited inAU bank. In such a
situation, if RBI takes
some action against AU
bank,thenwhatwillbethe
futureofthatgovtmoney?
It remains to be seen
whether RBI is able to
reveal in its investiga-
tion the various tactics
being adopted by AU
Bank to stabilize its NPA
after the RBI Governor’s
admission.
