Appropriate anger has already been expressed about this comment in all media and suitable explanation and retraction done already. But I want to look at this as citizen.

Audit Faulted Cuomo's HUD Overhaul - WSJ

The idea behind the program was to split enforcement and customer relations into separate ranks of employees. Between 1997 and 1999, Mr. Cuomo recruited nearly 800 Community Builders, including hundreds of high-paid "fellows" who underwent training sessions at Harvard.

The Community Builders acted as liaisons to city officials and community groups and reported directly to HUD's headquarters in Washington.

In 1999, the program was the subject of a scathing audit report by the HUD Inspector General's office, which recommended that it be

terminated.
Congress eliminated its funding that year, over the objections of several Democratic lawmakers, including Sen. John Kerry and now-Vice President Joe Biden.
More than half of the Community Builders interviewed by the auditors said they spent most of their time on

public-relations activities.
"Considering that 228 Community Builders came from HUD's monitoring side, there is an appearance HUD favors the outreach and public relations over the monitoring and compliance function," the report said.

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
