“ISRO se mera purana nata” was online as comedy before Modi’s 2023 ISRO visit

Bhagwant Mann’s March 2026 “ISRO/this row” satire attributes “mera ISRO se purana nata hai” to Narendra Modi. But the phrase was already online as Chandrayaan comedy on 23 August 2023, three days before Modi’s documented 26 August visit to ISRO’s Bengaluru centre, and official Modi/PMO material reviewed does not establish the quote. The chronology supports…

PMKVY audit exposed systemic identity, payment and monitoring failures; later enforcement did not prove a scheme-wide scam

The CAG’s PMKVY audit found systemic weaknesses in beneficiary identity data, unpaid candidate benefits, placement evidence and monitoring—not proof that 94.53% of beneficiaries were fake. Later inspections found 383 non-compliant centres, with 178 blacklisted and 41 FIRs lodged; the record supports serious governance scrutiny while criminal fraud and responsibility remain case-specific.

IBC recoveries improved, but long delays and claim haircuts keep creditor losses under scrutiny

India’s IBC has delivered more than ₹4 lakh crore in creditor realisations and recovery outcomes far above liquidation value, but long resolution times and losses against admitted claims remain real weaknesses. Sanjay Singh’s Rajya Sabha criticism points to those accountability issues, while his broader claims of a corruption-driven “bank loot” system and political favour are…

Haryana voter-roll photo anomalies expose data-quality failures; they do not prove 22 fraudulent votes

A Brazilian stock photograph did appear across multiple Haryana voter-roll records, and independent reporting found other wrong-photo and missing-name anomalies in Rai. That establishes a genuine electoral-roll quality problem requiring audit and correction, but it does not by itself prove 22 ballots were cast, validate the wider 25-lakh figure, or establish a centrally directed theft…

Anand Singh became Karnataka Forest Minister while 15 mining and forest cases were pending; reel adds unverified claims

Anand Singh’s 2019 affidavit recorded 15 pending criminal cases, including mining and forest-law matters, and the BJP government made him Karnataka’s Forest, Environment and Ecology Minister in February 2020. That created a legitimate conflict-of-interest and oversight concern—especially because at least one pending case had been registered by the Forest Department—but it does not prove political…

Adhikari’s Narada prosecution stayed stalled after BJP switch; 2026 CM elevation renews scrutiny

The CBI sought sanction in 2019 to prosecute Suvendu Adhikari over the Narada sting, and reporting through 2024 said the request remained pending after he joined the BJP. His 2026 elevation as West Bengal Chief Minister gives that unresolved enforcement gap fresh significance amid a wider documented pattern of changed case trajectories after opposition politicians…

Yogi misattributed Bose’s slogan to Vivekananda; a correct clip was later used to deny the slip

Full footage from Yogi Adityanath’s 20 April 2026 Joypur rally confirms that he first attributed “Tum mujhe khoon do…” to Swami Vivekananda and then referred to it as Netaji’s slogan. BJP later used a correct-attribution clip to call the controversy fake, but source comparison shows that did not erase the real Joypur slip; the episode…

Koh-i-Noor was surrendered after Britain annexed Punjab; its return remains a live restitution dispute

An @rawfit_adi reel uses the Koh-i-Noor as a metaphor for India’s continuing “Kohinoors.” The historical premise is more consequential than that caption: the 1849 Treaty of Lahore required Maharaja Duleep Singh to surrender the diamond after British conquest and annexation of Punjab, alongside the loss of sovereignty and state property. Calls for return remain active,…

Harsh Gujral frames dharm as conduct and helping others, not ritual alone

In a roughly 40-second Instagram excerpt, Harsh Gujral says dharm is lived by avoiding harm and helping people, while worship is easier. The clip supports an attributed personal ethical view, not an authoritative definition of religion or evidence of wider social practice; IndiaFiles did not locate fuller context that would justify broader claims.
