Thread: This thread explains how Edappadi Palanisamys Highways Dept is involved in huge tender frauds. 2 area based comprehensive road improvement strengthening & maintenance contracts for laying and widening thanjavur roads worth Rs 656 Cr & Rs 494 Cr were floated in Oct 2020

Many roads in excellent conditions were included for maintenance for 5 years. One wud think that d cost of maintaining good roads will be lesser than usual. However, while earlier tenders had cost of Rs 1 Cr/Km, these 2 tenders were given Rs 3.15 Cr/Km & Rs 1.95 Cr/ Km resp.
Rs 656 Crore tender was due to be opened on Nov 18 at 11 Am and Rs 494 Crore tender was due to be opened at Nov 19 at 11 Am. Our CM keeps repeatedly saying that these r e tenders and that no ones knows who participates in these tenders until they r opened.
He says no one knows who will participate in these tenders and who will win the tender. However, we have just exposed how this argument of the CM is a huge lie. In both these tenders, as per CM no one knows until Nov 18 11 Am about the participants & the winners of the tender
However, @Arappor sent a email on Nov 18 at 9.42 Am to Highways Secretary & Finance Secretary naming the person who will win these tenders. Given there r hundreds of contractors, for @arappor to exactly say who will win the tender is impossible unless these tenders r prefixed
The results of these tenders have now come out & @Arappor was spot on with respect to the contractors who will win these tenders. Its not a matter of any mathematical probablility prediction but a sheer fraud done on d ppl of TamilNadu by CM's Highways Dept by prefixing d tenders
We said that the first tender has been prefixed to RR Infra & second one to JSV in the email. One can see that the final result of the tenders also point out the same. This is not only violation of TN tender transparency act but also prima facie Corruption to enrich & benefit few
Earlier these tenders were floated together as Performance based maintenance contract & they were also cancelled in July after Arappor named the winner RR Infra even before the tender was opened. The fraudulent practise by CMs highways Dept is there for all to see
Firstly, these r not e tenders. Participants hv to get machinery/ plant certificate from Highways engineer that requires bidders to go and meet them physically to get it. Its learnt that bidders r told that d tender has already been prefixed for a specific person by the top!
Thats how physical points of contact & requirement of certificate from officials help in prefixing these tenders by not allowing others to participate. Contractors who try to legally fight these come under heavy political pressure and they withdraw cases like this tender.
If these 2 tenders were given cost as per earlier similar tenders which is Rs 1 Cr/Km, then d entire 2 tenders together wud only cost Rs 462 Cr. The current cost stated in Rs 1150 Cr. The difference is Rs 688 Crores in just this on tender. Its all our tax money!
Now will CM Edappadi Palanisamy & Highways Secretary Karthik IAS take action on these fraudulent tenders. If they dont take action, what is their role in this fraud which is prima facie Corruption ? I dont need to state the obvious as each of you know the truth!

The Signals Are Accelerating And Strengthening

I consider the tweet below the most important yet. We'll immediately discuss why below. After that there are two documents and an interview to work on. Clarity is arising, pointing the way.


2) I was about to laugh about the dispute warning, but then realized that this very act on Twitter's part is that grain of sand inside which you can see the entire world of what we face today. How dare they? How dare you Twitter? Who, WHAT do you think you are?


3) We have to consider the logic. Stave Navarro releases a report. It is published at Bannon's War Room. In these matters, tone is everything. It might have been published anywhere but the President, I mean Navarro, chose to publish with

4) That is a signal. Why Steve? Beyond the clear statement of unity - Steve is a full member of the strategic team working to save our nation - there is a far deeper, more important reason. Steve's main portfolio item is China. Choosing him speaks them as much as us. Maybe more.

5) Bullies are cowards. One of the greatest means of PREVENTING war is the bold, direct, aggressive communication of readiness. You want a piece of this? Come get it...expletives deleted. There's always the other hand. War may be coming.
