The search and rescue operations and mobilisation of resources alone would cost the Central Government hundreds of crore of rupees.Both Modi and the Rajnath Singh visited Kerala to help in rescue operation.PM announced interim relief of ₹600 crore(first 100 crores and next 500 crores) and this was only advance assistance and latter based on the priority they will fund with the NDRF scheme.(Edit:- Central announced 2000 crores of aid in November 2018)Prime minister directed the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) to repair the main national highways damaged due to the floods on a priority basis.The central public sector undertaking like the NTPC and the PGCIL have been asked to render all possible assistance to the state government in restoring power lines .Villagers, whose 'kutcha' houses have been destroyed in the devastating floods, would be provided the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Gramin homes on a priority basis.Under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Gurantee scheme 5.5 crore person days have been sanctioned in the labour budget 2018-19.Declared RS 50,000 to the victims who have been reported to be seriously injured and 2,00,000/- for people who died in floods.Under the Mission for the Integrated Development of Horticulture, farmers would be provided assistance for replantation of damaged horticulture crops.Western Naval Command sailed Indian Naval Ship (INS) Mysore with relief material to provide assistance to Kerala, ship carried about 70 tonnes of relief material which includes bottled water, ready to eat meals, fresh ration, milk, biscuits and other miscellaneous things like medicines, essential toiletries, phenyl, gash bags, bleaching powder, and candles.Sushama Swaraj announced that the passports damaged in Kerala flood will be renewed for free.Indian Railway announced free transportation cost for sending relief materials to Kerala and also supplied 14.5 lakh litres of drinking water to Kerala.The Ministry of Civil Aviation has cleared the use of naval airbase INS Garuda at Kochi for civilian operations to address the flight disruptions caused at Cochin International Airport due to flood.Central government allocated 50000 mt food grains to Kerala.Central government allocated 9,300 Kilolitre of kerosene to Kerala.The Department of Consumer Affairs made arrangements to airlift 100 metric tonnes of pulses.Indian Railways provided free blankets and bedsheets to meet the immediate requirements of the state government.Check this link what Railways have done to extend there assistanceMinistry of Railways extends all possible help to people of Kerala to combat floodsIs statue of unity totally funded by Central govt?The straight answer is NO.It is almost Gujarat state government funded not Central government.The Sardar Patel statue project was first announced on October 7, 2010, by the then Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi. But it wasn't until 2013, when a Special Purpose Vehicle, the Sardar Vallabhai Patel Rashtriya Ekta Trust was formed that it gathered pace.After Modi became the prime minister in 2014, the project gathered momentum. The central government in its 2014-15 Budgetallocated a sum of Rs 200 crore to the Gujarat government for this purpose.Since then, the Gujarat government has been making a provision for funds for the statue in the state budget.Following are the figures showing the state’s contribution for the project.YEARBUDGETARY PROVISION2018–19Rs 899 crore2016–17Rs 1066 crore*2015–16Rs 915 crore2013–14Rs 100 crore.Hardly not more than 400–500 crores were funded by Central government and it's mainly Gujarat state government who allocated there budget to build statue of unity in year wise budgets.So,prakash Raj statement is directly ruled out.Now a days for some people, they just need some stupid reason to troll modi and bjp and this is the example.Sources:-Fact Check: Who funded the tallest statue of the world?Statue of Unity to cost government Rs 2,412 crore - Times of IndiaKerala floods: Centre to give more funds to state, says Rs 600 crore was only advance assistanceNHAI, PWD ordered to repair roads immediatelyCentral assistance to flood affected KeralaCentral assistance to flood affected Kerala - IndiaMinistry of Railways extends all possible help to people of Kerala to combat floodsSigning off- Ashwik Reddy✍️

Undoubtedly it has to be Dr. Subramanian Swamy. Here’s why !How it all started: Pro Nuclear Crusader[1][1][1][1]With a PhD in Economics from Harvard, at a young age of 24, Dr Swamy was already on his way to become a “boring” Professor for the rest of his life, but a simple challenge from his friends literally changed his life. The challenge was fairly innocent & trivial. Swamy was challenged into learning any foreign language in 1 year. The 24 year old Swamy who was hungry to take on challenges, took it seriously & set a very high bar to himself. He said to himself that he will learn the toughest language in shortest possible time. Upon a quick survey, he found that Mandarin (Chinese language) was perceived by the majority of the linguists as the toughest language to learn and it would require 2-3 years to gain confidence in it. So, Dr Swamy said to himself that he will learn Chinese. Finally, he learnt Chinese in just 3 months!!Learning Chinese language changed Dr Swamy’s life because he then started giving more attention to the political developments in China, and as a result, Harvard started assigning him more challenging projects related to Chinese economy (which nobody else in Harvard could take up due to their deficiency in Chinese language, which Dr Swamy had overcome after learning the language in 3 months).While closely tracking the developments in China during the 1960s, Dr Swamy noticed that the Chinese were very serious about regular upgradation of their military systems. In 1964, when China successfully tested its first nuclear weapon, Dr Swamy was one of the first visionaries in India who realized that India also must have its own nuclear equipment in order to defend itself from any future externalities.That’s when Dr Swamy took up the challenge of carrying out an in-depth research on Nuclear, and put extensive efforts into it for the next 5 years. By 1969, he had come up with a comprehensive analysis on Indian Nuclear Strategies with a detailed roadmap of Why India needs Nuclear and how it can achieve it in next few years.His research paper titled “Systems Analysis of Strategic Defence Needs” which was a part of his detailed analysis in 1969, is still used even today as a reference to develop India-centric Nuclear strategies.He did not stop at just researching & publishing such studies, but even took it up to the level of activism, to convince Congress politicians, who were more leaning towards Gandhian non-violence principles and hence felt India should not invest in Nuclear. While he was a persuader within India, at the same time, to the rest of the world, he had already taken up the responsibility of mediating as a diplomat, trying to explain world leaders that India is going nuclear, only to protect itself but never to harm anybody else.Transformation: Anti Corruption Activist[2][2][2][2]During the 1970s, when the nation was plagued with corruption, and when the youth of the nation erupted against Congress Party (under Indira Gandhi) which took the shape of 1974 Bihar movement (Total Revolution), Dr Swamy decided to take it up the anti-corruption cause, and there has been no turning back ever since.While JP & his team led the Total Revolution through protests on the streets, Dr Swamy took it up in intellectual form. After imposition of Emergency by Indira Gandhi in 1975, Dr Swamy went underground, to carry out his anti-corruption crusade against Congress party & Indira Gandhi in particular.Throughout the Emergency, Dr Swamy launched a series of scathing attacks & criticisms against Indira Gandhi, and spreading awareness among the masses about the rampant corruption of Congress. Such was the intensity of his attacks that Indira Gandhi literally had nightmares & spent several sleepless nights due to him. She even went on to call for investigations against him & alleged him of CIA agent because she could not defend herself against his allegations & evidences.When Indira had enough of Dr Swamy, she tried to frame him by first issuing arrest warrant against him, and then calling for attendance of all Parliamentary members, failing which their seats would be revoked. With this strategy, Indira knew that Swamy would definitely attend if he wanted to save his seat, and had planned to arrest Dr Swamy when he attended the Parliament, but thanks to Swamy’s dramatic escape plan, her strategy backfired. Dr Swamy managed to give attendance & also managed to escape from India through a pre-planned flight which looked like a scene straight form a suspense thriller.Next Step: Hindutva Crusader[3][3][3][3]Under Janata Party Govt rule, as most of the right wing & Hindutva parties (like the Jana Sangh) had come together under one umbrella, Dr Swamy gradually started taking up Hindutva causes. Unlike other leaders who just played rhetoric to exploit religious sentiments people’s emotions just for votes, Dr Swamy actually used legal (and sometimes diplomatic) routes to accomplish Hindutva causes.His most popular achievement during the Janata rule, had been the opening of the sacred Hindu mountain Kailash for Indian pilgrims. This was possible mainly because Dr Swamy, thanks to his friend’s challenge, had gained mastery in Chinese language, and hence he was able to visit China as a diplomat & won their hearts by speaking to them in Chinese. After winning their confidence, he was then easily able to persuade them into opening the sacred mountain, and thus began the regular annual trip called “Kailash Mansarovar Yatra” in which Dr Swamy himself was the very first pilgrim & led the first batch.Eventually, Dr Swamy went on to take up several serious Hindutva causes including the most popular case of Rama Sethu in which he single-handedly fought an arduous legal battle to save the Rama Sethu from being destroyed by Govt of India. Thanks to him, the ancient national monument & heritage of Ramayana is still intact today.Challenge of Economic Reforms: Economic Crusader[4][4][4][4]Way back in the late 1960s Dr Swamy had done in-depth research in Indian economy & presented his analysis in the form of a comprehensive book titled “Indian Economic Planning: An Alternative Approach” in which he had given a detailed blueprint & proposed dismantling of “license raj” to revive entrepreneurship & boost Indian economy. The then PM Indira Gandhi dismissed it & labelled Dr Swamy as “A Santa Claus with unrealistic ideas”, while the Parliamentarians cheered Indira Gandhi & burst into hysterical laughter, mocking Dr Swamy.However, over the next few decades, as India slipped into economic downturn, and after the fall of Rajiv Gandhi Govt & subsequent dissolution of VP Singh Govt, it was finally PM Chandra Shekhar who had realized the need for economic reforms. As destiny would have it, when India desperately needed a strong blueprint for economic reform, Dr Subramanian Swamy was seated at the helm, as Commerce Minister under PM Chandra Shekhar, and was given the full authority to draft the reforms.Dr Swamy eagerly took up the challenge and after months of efforts, he was ready with the final draft for economic reforms with detailed blueprint, which was unfortunately put on hold because the Chandra Shekhar Govt fell due to coalition politics.After fresh elections within the next few months, when PV Narasimha Rao (PVN) became the PM, the first thing he did was to approach Dr Subramanian Swamy and requested him to be part of the economic planning team which was supposed to navigate India through the economic disaster it was about to face. In the interest of the nation, Dr Swamy happily gave away his detailed blueprint to PVN, which was then delivered to the Finance Minister Dr Manmohan Singh who then implemented Dr Swamy’s blueprint, and thus India escaped from a major economic crisis and achieved liberalization.Current Role: Anti Corruption Crusader[5][5][5][5]Petition to strike down anti-defamation laws: In Oct 2014, Swamy filed a petition in Supreme Court praying for declaring Sections 499 and 500 of the Indian Penal Code that deal with criminal defamation as unconstitutional.[27]Complaint against Jayalalithaa: In 1996, Swamy had filed a criminal complaint against Jayalalithaa which led to her prosecution, conviction and sentencing to four years imprisonment by the trial court in 2014.[28]. Later, on May 11, 2015, a special Bench of the Karnataka High Court set aside the trial court order convicting former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalitha, who was acquitted of all charges in the disproportionate assets case.[29][30] An Appeal against the High court verdict was filed in Supreme Court.[31] The final verdict of Supreme Court came in February, 2017 that indicted Jayalalitha posthumously and upheld the trial court judgement in toto.[33]Phone tapping allegation: Swamy released a letter alleging that former intelligence chief had asked DoT to tap the phone of many politicians and businessmen in Karnataka [34] when Ramakrishna Hegde, the then Chief Minister, resigned in 1988. [35] Hegde then filed a case against him in 1989 and 1990 [36] [37][38]Hashimpura massacre: In 1987, when Muslim youths were killed under police custody, Swamy spoke against it and sat on a fast for more than a week in Jantar Mantar demanding the institution of an inquiry. [39] After 25 years he started pursuing the case once again in court.[40] Rebecca John, a counsel for the Hashimpura complainants, told Additional Sessions Judge Rakesh Siddhartha who is conducting the trial in the case, that "there is no other motive than politics behind Swamy's plea for further investigation and it would only further delay the trial".[41]Role in exposing 2G spectrum case: In November 2008, Swamy amongst others wrote the first of five letters to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh seeking permission to prosecute A. Raja in regard to 2G spectrum case.[42] After not receiving any response,[43] Swamy decided to file a case on his own in the Supreme Court of India regarding the matter, which then asked the Central Bureau of Investigation to produce a detailed report on it.[44] He further called on the Indian government to re-auction the 2G spectrum without the involvement of Communications Minister Kapil Sibal.[45] On 15 April 2011, he filed a 206-page petition with PM Singh seeking permission to prosecute Sonia Gandhi on charges of corruption. He also raised doubts regarding her acquisition of Indian citizenship. [46] Swamy filed documents in the court to prosecute Minister of Home Affairs P. Chidambaram by including a 15 January 2008 letter written by Chidambaram to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. Swamy also placed on record the certified copy of the minutes of a meeting between Chidambaram, Raja and the prime minister during the tenure of Raja as the MOC&IT. [47] Since criminal charges were filed against the accused, but no evidence was given by Swamy or the CBI, all the respondents have got bail as of July 2012.Sanction to prosecute telecom minister A. Raja: On 31 January 2012, the Supreme Court of India accepted Swamy's petition against the Prime Minister's Office in the 2G case, saying that all public authorities should give a sanction within three months against any public official if a request is made for prosecution. The Supreme Court said that Swamy had the locus standi to seek sanction from the Prime Minister for the prosecution of A Raja in the 2G case. Sanction by a competent authority for the prosecution of a public servant has to be granted within a time frame, the apex court said. Justice AK Ganguly said that the sanction would be deemed to be granted if competent authority failed to take a decision within four months. Swamy's arguments were that he wrote to the PMO on 29 November 2008, but it was only on 19 March 2010 the PMO replied that the plea made by Swamy was "premature" as investigation was being carried out by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). Raja was arrested by the CBI in the case and got bail on 15 May 2012 after spending nearly 15 months in the Tihar Central Jail [48] On December 21, 2017, the special CBI Court Judge acquitted the accused including A Raja.[49]Petition to strike down "single directive provision": In 1997, Swamy filed a petition in the Supreme Court of India to strike down a provision which barred CBI from investigating corruption charges against officers of the rank of joint secretary and above without prior permission of the Govt of India called as "Dr. Subramanian Swamy Versus Director, Central Bureau of Investigation & Anr." [50] On 6 May 2014, a five-judge constitution bench held the single directive provision as invalid and unconstitutional. The court said that "Protection of prior approval for probing graft charges against officers at level of joint secretary and above has propensity of shielding corruption"[51][52] Experts such as former CBI Director Joginder Singh praised the judgement as "Superb".[53] Incumbent CBI Director Ranjit Sinha welcomed the judgement and said, "now a very heavy responsibility has been cast upon us to ensure that no innocent civil-servant is harassed."[54]Investigation on EVM: Swamy demanded that an independent committee should be formed to check the security and safety of the Electronic Voting Machines (EVM) to avoid any rigging or tampering. He argued that countries like US, Japan, UK, Germany and Netherlands have abandoned EVMs and are using paper-ballot system and demanded that a printed receipt should be given to every voter after casting the vote.[55] [56] His PIL to investigate the working of EVM was dismissed by the Delhi High Court on 17 January 2012. The court refused to give any direction to the Election Commission to bring back paper-ballot system or use of printed receipts. The Commission argued that the use of paper is not feasible due to the huge size of Indian electorate. The court further asked the Election Commission to "immediately begin a process of wider consultations" and the Parliament "to go into this question in depth and decide". [57] [58] On 22 January 2013 the Election Commission informed the Supreme Court that it would include Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT) system which is in the testing phase after the court agreed with some points raised by Swamy who was the contender, [59] in the machines so that every voter will come to know who he/she is voting by getting a printed slip after pressing the EVM button.[60] [61] The voter paper audit trail has then been in use from 4 September 2013.[62][63]On 8 October 2013 the Supreme Court directed the Election Commission to implement audit trail system in 2014 general election in phases.[64]National Herald case: On 1 November 2012 Swamy alleged that both Sonia and Rahul Gandhi have committed fraud and land grabbing to a tune of ₹20 billion (US$290 million) by acquiring a public ltd company called Associated Journals Private Ltd (AJPL) through their owned private company, Young Indian [65] which was formed on 23 November 2010.[66] Through this they had got publication rights of National Herald and Qaumi Awaz newspapers, with real estate properties in Delhi and Uttar Pradesh.[67] The acquired place was intended only for newspaper purposes but were used for running a passport office, amounting to lakhs of rupees, it alleges. Swamy further added that Rahul Gandhi hid the facts in his affidavit while filing nomination for the 2009 Lok Sabha elections [68] [69] It further alleges that on 26 February 2011 AJPL approved the transfer of unsecured loan of ₹900 million (US$13 million) from the All India Congress Committee at zero interest. [70] [71] Swamy argued that it is illegal for any political party to lend the loan as per violation of Section 269T of Income Tax Act 1961.[72] On 2 November, the party responded that the loan was given only for reviving National Herald newspaper with no commercial interest.[73] Swamy decided to approach the Supreme Court for de-recognising the Congress party, while the Election Commission ordered the probe on 17 November 2012.[74] [75] The hearing of the case had been taken up thereafter on different occasions [76] [77] [78] [79] [80] with the court observing prima facie evidence against all the accused. [78] [81] [82] On 1 August 2014 the Enforcement Directorate initiated probe to find any money laundering in the case [83] while on the same day Swamy was served notice by the High Court. [84] On 28 August the metropolitan court fixed 9 December for the next hearing of the case, [85] [86] while on 12 January 2015 the judge of the Delhi High Court recused himself from hearing the case stating that schedule of cases has been changed and directed that the petitions be directed before an appropriate bench [87] On 27 January 2015, the Supreme Court asked Swamy to make out a case for the speedy trial in the Delhi High Court since the petition cannot be heard directly. [88] On 18 September 2015 it was reported that the Enforcement Directorate had reopened the investigation. [89] Following it, on 19 December 2015 Patiala House Court granted unconditional bail immediately on the hearing to all the five accused but one.[90][91][92] On 12 July 2016 the Delhi High Court set aside the trial court order of 11 January[93] and 11 March [94] based on plea by Swamy to examine balance sheets of Congress party, AJL and Young Indian from 2010-2013,[95][96][97] and fixed the date of next hearing on 20 August.[98]Swamy’s long legal battle with PC & his corrupt family is reaching its logical conclusion. Chidambaram was the architect and author of all the mega scams in India namely 2G, Coal, Non-Performing Assets (NPA) scam, Aircel Maxis, NDTV, Vasan Eye Care, Saradha Scam, Forex derivates scam[1], Airbus scandal to name a few that rocked the nation.It was Subramanian Swamy in August 2018,who unlocked the clandestine relationship between PC, Ahmed Patel with Congress party’s Karnataka money bag D K Shivakumar and handed over the evidence to investigative agencies leading to the Enforcement Directorate (ED) registering case against DK recently[2]Swamy has vowed to track down all the White Collar criminals to cleanse the politics. After hunting down Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi in National Herald case, P Chidambaram & family in multiple corruption cases, BS Hooda in HUDA case, DK Shivakumar in Hawala case linked to AP & PC, Swamy is likely to push for the prosecution of the culprits in the court of law.[6]Last but not the least is Rahul Gandhi’s citizenship row.[7] The home ministry has issued a notice to Congress chief Rahul Gandhi, asking him to explain his "factual position" over a complaint filed by BJP parliamentarian Subramanian Swamy that he holds British citizenship. The Congress chief has been given a fortnight to respond to the notice.Reacting, Subramanian Swamy, who has in the past raised questions about his citizenship and qualification wrote on Twitter: “Buddhu has also filed income tax returns in UK during 2004-2006 as a British Citizen as Rahul Gandhi while MP in India!!!!!’ Buddhu citizen likely to be cancelled because he cannot deny his British citizenship now. His tax returns are damning. Ensure BJP Govt returns on May 23 rd”[8]In my opinion he fits the definition of the Biggest Chowkidar.Footnotes[1] Dr Subramanian Swamy: Anti-Corruption Crusader, Hindutva Warrior, Economic Chanakya & Nuclear Strategist - Guruprasad's Portal[1] Dr Subramanian Swamy: Anti-Corruption Crusader, Hindutva Warrior, Economic Chanakya & Nuclear Strategist - Guruprasad's Portal[1] Dr Subramanian Swamy: Anti-Corruption Crusader, Hindutva Warrior, Economic Chanakya & Nuclear Strategist - Guruprasad's Portal[1] Dr Subramanian Swamy: Anti-Corruption Crusader, Hindutva Warrior, Economic Chanakya & Nuclear Strategist - Guruprasad's Portal[2] Dr Subramanian Swamy: Anti-Corruption Crusader, Hindutva Warrior, Economic Chanakya & Nuclear Strategist - Guruprasad's Portal[2] Dr Subramanian Swamy: Anti-Corruption Crusader, Hindutva Warrior, Economic Chanakya & Nuclear Strategist - Guruprasad's Portal[2] Dr Subramanian Swamy: Anti-Corruption Crusader, Hindutva Warrior, Economic Chanakya & Nuclear Strategist - Guruprasad's Portal[2] Dr Subramanian Swamy: Anti-Corruption Crusader, Hindutva Warrior, Economic Chanakya & Nuclear Strategist - Guruprasad's Portal[3] Dr Subramanian Swamy: Anti-Corruption Crusader, Hindutva Warrior, Economic Chanakya & Nuclear Strategist - Guruprasad's Portal[3] Dr Subramanian Swamy: Anti-Corruption Crusader, Hindutva Warrior, Economic Chanakya & Nuclear Strategist - Guruprasad's Portal[3] Dr Subramanian Swamy: Anti-Corruption Crusader, Hindutva Warrior, Economic Chanakya & Nuclear Strategist - Guruprasad's Portal[3] Dr Subramanian Swamy: Anti-Corruption Crusader, Hindutva Warrior, Economic Chanakya & Nuclear Strategist - Guruprasad's Portal[4] Dr Subramanian Swamy: Anti-Corruption Crusader, Hindutva Warrior, Economic Chanakya & Nuclear Strategist - Guruprasad's Portal[4] Dr Subramanian Swamy: Anti-Corruption Crusader, Hindutva Warrior, Economic Chanakya & Nuclear Strategist - Guruprasad's Portal[4] Dr Subramanian Swamy: Anti-Corruption Crusader, Hindutva Warrior, Economic Chanakya & Nuclear Strategist - Guruprasad's Portal[4] Dr Subramanian Swamy: Anti-Corruption Crusader, Hindutva Warrior, Economic Chanakya & Nuclear Strategist - Guruprasad's Portal[5] Subramanian Swamy - Wikipedia[5] Subramanian Swamy - Wikipedia[5] Subramanian Swamy - Wikipedia[5] Subramanian Swamy - Wikipedia[6] Subramanian Swamy’s anti-corruption, legal battles and its effect on South Indian politics - PGurus[7] Govt Notice to Rahul Gandhi After Subramanian Swamy's Complaint Over British Citizenship[8] 'Citizenship likely to be cancelled': Swamy says Rahul Gandhi filed IT returns in UK as Brit citizen while MP in India | Latest News & Updates at DNAIndia.com
