Sources : BJP takes Dy CM OPS and his sons under their complete control. The carrot they dangled before OPS is ministership for OPS’s elder son OP Raveendranath, who is popularly known as General Tyre. 1/n

 With OPS completely under their control, BJP targets EPS. Yesterday and today’s IT raids in Sri Pathy associates is directly targeted at Edappadi Palanisamy.

One of the Directors in this firm is Srinivasamoorthy. He is also a Director in an Erode based firm called, 2/n
Supreme Sago Industries Erode Private Limited. Along with Srinivasamoorthy, the other director in this Sago firm is one N.Ramalingam.

The Ramalingams are in-laws of TN CM Edappadi Palanisamy. The relationship between EPS and the Ramalingams are as follows : 3/n
Edappadi Palanisamy’s son Mithun Kumar is married to one Divya. Divya has a sister by name Saranya. Saranya’s husband’s brother is Chandrakanth Ramalingam. This is how the Ramalingams are closely related to EPS. 4/n
This Chandrakanth Ramalingam was earlier arrested in Bangalore in December 2016 for holding 46 lakhs of freshly minted new currency following demonetization. 4/n

https://t.co/e97Yc4Tt94
In June 2018, DMK filed a complaint in the DVAC, for registration of a corruption case against TN CM Edappadi Palanisamy, for corruption, favouritism, and nepotism by awarding Highway contracts worth thousands of crores to a firm owned by his in-laws. 5/n
The DMK in its complaint stated as follows : _ “Contracts have been awarded to these two firms at an inflated rate thereby causing undue pecuniary advantage to them only because the two firms are controlled by persons 6/n
who are closely related to Shri Edapadi Palanisami’s son Mithun. The modus it appears have to eliminate and dissuade all eligible contractors from participating in the bid by adopting intimidating tactics. 7/n
The provisions of the Transparency of Tenders Act,1998 and its rules have been violated with impunity. In fact, it is reliably learnt that Mr R Ramalingam and Mr P Sutharma who are close relatives of the Chief Minister have been 8/n
awarded several contracts amounting to several crores of rupees for the past seven years and in most of the bids there were only 2 bidders. This is not mere coincidence and needs a thorough investigation”_ 9/n
Since the DVAC, which works under EPS, failed to conduct a proper probe, the DMK moved the Madras HC. Hon’ble Justice Jagadish Chandra, after hearing the issue in detail, issued a well reasoned order transferring the investigation to CBI. EPS moved the SC immediately and 10/n
managed to obtain a stay on the same day.

A Bench headed by BJP’s judicial wing president Ranjan Gogoi, stayed he Madras HC order in 30 seconds on 30 October 2018.

This matter was never listed till date and the stay continues.11/n
Now, with BJP targeting Edappadi Palanisamy, the matter will suddenly be listed any moment for hearing.

Time for Edappadi Palanisamy to take a call about his relationship with BJP if he really cares about Tamil Nadu. 12/n
He has just two options before him. Fight or perish.

Thread on the missing 100 Kgs gold from CBI

In an unusual order, perhaps for the first time in history, the Madras HC has ordered a state Crime Branch CID probe into 100 Kgs of gold which went missing from the custody of CBI. 1/n

State CB CID officials will now probe the role of the elite CBI agency in the missing ingots weighing more than 100 Kgs.

When the CBI probed this case, the role of several IAS & ITS (Indian Trade Service) came to light. The role of Dr. Swarna, IAS, then Joint Development Commissioner, Special Economic Zone, Chennai also came to light. 3/n

Dr. Swarna is now the Secretary to government, P&AR, Government of Tamil Nadu. When an Addl SP went to examine Dr. Swarna with regard to this case, she threw a tantrum as to how an ordinary Addl SP can examine her and rang up TN Home Secretary to suspend the Addl. SP. 4/n

All the All India Service Officers involved in this case, using their bureaucratic clout in Delhi, ensured that this case never saw the light of the day.

Sources : TN Minister for Food and Civil Supplies, R Kamaraj gets infected with Covid19. He has been admitted in MIOT.

A few questions to @CMOTamilNadu 1/n

1) When he claims that he is providing world class health facility and claims the state has prospered under his rule, why none of his cabinet colleagues, who were infected with Covid19, for example Minister for Higher Education KP Anbalagan get admitted into a government 2/n

hospital. Does @CMOTamilNadu’s own cabinet colleagues don’t trust government hospitals ? Or, whatever @CMOTamilNadu says is a lie ?

2) When his own cabinet colleagues get infected with Covid19, and have the risk of becoming a super-spreader, why is @CMOTamilNadu 3/n

undertake political campaigns ?

3) Is @CMOTamilNadu aware that Minister Kamaraj, recently participated in the recent function to distribute Pongal gifts and people jostled to get a selfie with him and he has become a super spreader of Covid 19 now ? 4/n

4) When his own cabinet colleagues who get infected with Covid19, are crorepatis and get treatment in private hospitals, what would a poor @actorvijay fan most of whom are BPL & their family will do in case they get infected ? 5/n

Sources : DMK President MK Stalin is completely under the control of the senior Maran, Kalanidhi. Kalanidhi, with an intention to get total control of the cable distribution business, is manipulating Stalin 1/n

that he was the one who ensured Rajini doesn’t enter into politics.

Stalin, a gullible person, has taken the bait say sources. Kindly recall Rajini’s press meet on 3rd December 2020 when he said, he will start a political party. 2/n

He said, “he had commitments of film production”. The upcoming movie “Annatha” is a @sunpictures production.

Sources add, two months back, Kalanithi Maran had assured MK Stalin that, he will ensure that @rajinikanth will never start a political party. 3/n

Rajinikanth’s Annatha movie shoot was held at Ramoji Rao Film City, Hyderabad a heavily guarded place. It was sanitized several times, before the shooting commenced. 4/n

It perplexes medical experts, how one would get infected with Covid19 when, persons who were not tested for Covid are never allowed inside the shoot spot.

Sources : DMK’s Minority Wing Secretary Dr Masthan issues a statement that, news reports about invitation being extended by DMK to All-India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen AIMIM Chief Asaduddin Owaisi for its convention to be held on 6th of January at YMCA, Royapettah. 1/n

He says, news reports that appear in certain TV Channels to this effect are untrue.

DMK is a party filled with liars. Invitation was extended to Owaisi and this invitation was extended in person by the same Dr Masthan who denied the news. 2/n

Apart from this, sources say, DMK LS leader TR Balu spoke on phone with Owaisi.

Even a person with basic knowledge knows Owaisi is a vote splitter and all his forays always help BJP. By inviting him to DMK conference, 3/n

Stalin has antagonised DMK’s long term trustable and reliable partners like MMK and IUML. They are reliable partners. Manithaneya Makkal Katchi is quite popular among Muslims and it has trustworthy leaders. 4/n

Owaisi is a Urudhu speaking Muslim and he won’t get a single vote from Tamil speaking Muslims.

If Stalin thinks, a Bihari Brahmin Prasanth Kishore and his dumb and useless son Udhay, can ensure victory, doomsday is nearing not only for DMK, but to MK Stalin also. 5/n

So let's see a show of hands: how many of you even knew Huber was digging into the Clinton Foundation? While he was assisting Horowitz in his digging into the FISC/Steele Dossier/Fusion GPS/Perkins Coie/DNC/Hillary campaign stuff?


I'm sure Huber is coming to DC *only* to discuss Clinton Foundation things with Meadows and his committee.

He for certain, like, won't be huddling with Horowitz or that new guy, Whitaker while he's in town. That would NEVER HAPPEN. [wink wink wink!] 😉

I just spent a year and a half telling you they will SHOW YOU what they are REALLY DOING when they are READY.

Not before.

No matter how much whining is done about it.

I'm exhausted but it's worth it.

Now you know why they're f**king TERRIFIED of Whitaker, the closer tapped by Trump to come in late for the hysterical fireworks that will ensue soon.

Look who's suddenly fund raising for his legal defen- er, I mean, ha ha - his reelection campaign!

1) Looks like Trump KNEW what the coup plotters were plotting on the 6th, so he arrived an hour late to the stage, and talked longer than he intended, before he asked MAGA to walk peacefully down Pennsylvania Avenue to the Capitol.

He also didn't walk WITH them as he promised.

I told you they’d bring this up


I was wondering why that tweet had so many stupid replies. And now I see


Seriously, this was “the night before.” If you’re at the march where they’re changing “Jews will not replace us” and “Blood and soil,” you’re not a “very fine person.” Full stop.


There are 3 important moments in that transcript.

1.) When someone asked Trump about a statement *he had already made* about there being blame on “both sides,” he said the “fine people” line.


2. Trump does clarify! “I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and white nationalists — because they should be condemned totally “

Okay!

Then adds that there were “many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists.”

Santkumaras-The four adorable kids of the Universe.

The Kumaras r the four sages who roam the Universe as children from the Puranic texts of Hinduism named,Sanaka, Sanatana,Sanandana& Sanatkumara.They r described as the first mind-born creations &sons of the creator God Brahma.


Brahma,who had received the knowledge of Puranas from the Universal being(God Himself), imbibed this to his 4 Kumaras.
Sanat Kumaras then taught the Puranas to Narada.Narada transmitted it to Krishna Dwaipayana who in turn scripted them in monumental epic documents of 18 Puranas.

The Vishnu Purana is recorded in two parts,the Vishnu Purana & Naradiya Purana.The teachings of Sanaka of the Kumara brothers r contained in the Naradiya Purana which is also divided in two parts, the first part containing the teachings of Sanaka &second part,teachings of others.


Born from Brahma's mind,4 Kumars took lifelong vows of celibacy against their father's wishes.They r said to wander throughout materialistic &spiritualistic universe without any desire but with the aim to teach.All 4 brothers studied Vedas from their Childhood&travelled together.


The Bhagwata Purana lists the Kumaras among the 12 Mahajanas(great devotees or bhaktas) who although being eternally liberated souls from birth, still became attracted to the devotional service of Vishnu from their already enlightened state.

Sri Sanjeevi Rayar Temple located in Ayyangar Kulam,near Kanchipuram,TN

#Thread

Ancient but beautiful temple dedicated to Hanuman. This temple is a legendary one. According to the Sthala Puranam of Sanjeevi Rayar temple,it is associated with an episode from Ramayana.


Legend story -Hanuman was flying from Himalayas to Lanka bearing Sanjeevi hill to revive Lakshmana during battle between Rama& Ravana, a piece of the Sanjeevi Parvat fell at this place.Many believe this legendary story & even today that no one here dies of any kind of poisoning.

From historical background of the temple it is known that temple was originally built by a great scholar &administrator Kotikanyadanam Lakshmikumara Tatacharya. Temple itself&village were named following name of great scholar Tatacharya, who was then popularly known as Ayyangar.

He was the royal preceptor of Vijayanagara emperor Venkata Raya who had his capital at Chandragiri in AP.Upon returning from a pilgrimage,robbers tried to attack Tatacharya at this place. Being a great devotee of Hanuman,he instantly composed a poem in Sanskrit praising Hanuman.


The bandits immediately ran away &Tatacharya decided to build a temple dedicated to Anjaneya at that very place.This Sanskrit poem is called Hanumad Vimshati, has been inscribed in Grantha script inside this temple.The huge temple tank called Tatasamudram, in honor of Tatacharya.

Do you know?

The Golden Shine on the artificial jewellery of modern times is a gift by Nagarjuna.

Now,u might be wondering,who is Nagarjuna?

Nagarjuna was the name of an ancient Indian scholar&scientist whose name is associated with the fields of Alchemy,Chemistry& Metallurgy.


He conducted a number of alchemic and Metallurgical experiments directed towards transforming base elements into Gold.
According to Eduard Sachau's Alberuni's India, Nagarjuna was termed as a Metallurgist who was born 100 yrs before Alberuni's time, who was born in 973 CE.


According to some records Nagarjuna was born in 9th century CE near Somnath,Gujarat and according to some Tibetan & Chinese sources he was born in Vidarbha,Maharashtra from where he later migrated to Deccan region.


Edward Schau quotes in his book,'They have a science similar to Alchemy and Nagarjuna is famous for this science which they call as 'Rasayana'.

Nagarjuna's book 'Rasaratnakara' is one of the earliest documented texts on Alchemy,Chemistry & Metallurgy in Sanskrit.Nagarjuna successfully discovered through his experiments the alchemy of transmutation of base metals into Gold.This was not real gold but a gold like substance.

18 Things I Would Do At 18:

I was a dumb 18-year-old. I thought I had the world figured out. I didn't.

I stayed up till the wee hours. Drank every liquor invented.

Partied non-stop. Woke up after noon.

Surfed the web aimlessly.

Read BS self-help.

Repeat.

If I could do it all over again, here's 18 things I would do...

PHASE ONE: GET MY MIND RIGHT

ACTION #1: Break the chains - I wish I made the decision earlier. I didn't. I was scared. Anxious. Nervous. I knew once I made the decision, there was no going back.

Don't be like me.

Make the decision at 18. The decision to pave your own path in life. To go against the herd. To choose your own adventure. To commit to whatever sets your heart on fire.

ACTION #2: Cut off every negative person in your life.

Scroll through the contacts in your phone...

Notice how the names make you feel.

Delete any and all names that fill you with doubt and negativity.

ACTION #3: Condition your mind to embrace the producer mindset instead of the consumer mindset.

Consume 20% of the time. Produce 80% of the time.

Case closed.

ACTION #4: Set an intention to make $10k a month and write it out every MORNING and NIGHT as if you already achieved it (in the past tense).

Visualize yourself already having the money as you write.

Cheesy?

Yes.

Does it work?

Yes.

PHASE TWO: EDUCATION
