Will to Hide: Vote Theft, DHFL Scam, and the Silencing of RTI in BJP-ruled India (Video)

Posted on 8th November, 2025 (GMT 09:45 hrs)

ABSTRACT

In this video of OBMA, we trace how truth in contemporary India is not hidden in darkness, but blinded by the illegitimate, coercive glare of power itself. From the quiet theft of votes through digital deletions and duplicated identities, to the DHFL scam that turned public funds into private fortunes, to the slow asphyxiation of the Right to Information (RTI)— the same pattern of concealment runs through it all. This is not ignorance, but design: the rule of the “Golden Disc,” where polished words like development and national interest mask the disappearance of citizens, accountability, and justice. We ask: when every institution is scripted to glorify the untruth, who will unveil the face of truth?

The face of truth in India today is not hidden by darkness, but blinded by the coercive glare of power. This OBMA exposé follows one continuous pattern linking disappearing voters, the DHFL–Piramal takeover, and the dismantling of the RTI Act: a deliberate architecture of procedural opacity that turns democracy into a performance. Votes are deleted or duplicated through digital disenfranchisement; ordinary citizens lose lifelong savings through a resolution process described as “transparent” while key documents and valuation trails are withheld; and the RTI system, once the last shield of public accountability, is quietly strangled through delays, jurisdictional evasions, and institutional silence. This is not incompetence. This is governance by erasure—where the evidence of the crime is the first thing removed. Truth is not censored; it is drowned in spectacle. Political legitimacy is manufactured, not earned. The Bhagavad Gita 4.34 reminds us that asking questions—paripraśna—is itself dharma. To question is not rebellion; it is citizenship. Memory is now our last political institution, and remembrance the only vote they cannot delete.

VIDEO COMMENTARY:

“Hiranmayena patrena satyasyāpihitaṁ mukham.
tat tvaṁ pūṣannapāvṛṇu satyadharmāya dṛṣṭaye.”

The Isa Upanisad says:
The face of truth is covered by a golden disc.

Not hidden in darkness anymore…
but blinded by the glare of power itself.

Which means:
Truth is not hidden by ignorance alone —
it is hidden by the spectacle of greatness,
by the BJP’s shining mirage or adhyasa of “acche din”.

It is wrapped in polished words like:
“development,” “national interest,” “sab changa si”, “free and fair,” “efficiency.”

Today, we are not appealing to the Vedic sun God, Pusan —
we are appealing to the organs of our government,
to lift their own golden disc of imposed systemic opacity.

For power no longer hides truth by suppressing it alone.
It hides truth by glorifying the untruth —
under the reign of a new, non-biological 55’inch chested vishwaguru King Liar.

And today, I speak as someone from Gen Z on behalf of OBMA—
someone who was raised to believe
that information would always be open, accessible,
institutions would be accountable,
and truth would be a matter of evidence following the 1872 Evident Act, not a matter of authority.

But what I have seen in contemporary India,
is daylight robbery of truth, and therefore, a murder of democracy itself.

Part 1 — The Shock of Disappearing Votes

Let us begin.

You cast your vote.
You trust your name is registered.
You believe your voice matters.

But one day,
you go to vote—
and suddenly…

You do not exist, or you exist as someone else.

Names erased.
One name duplicated across booths, across constituencies, as if a single person had learned to be everywhere all at once.
Entire apartment blocks wiped off the electoral map.
Whole neighbourhoods made to disappear quietly —
by a cursor on a government screen.

People who lived, worked, paid taxes, voted for decades —
reduced to non-persons with a keystroke of the BJP-ECI collusion.

This is not a clerical error.
This is a deliberate, centralized re-drawing of the political population to suit the BJP’s authoritarian agenda.

This is digital disenfranchisement —
the new face of electoral fraud,
coded in software, justified in crafted silence.

And when people asked the Election Commission:

• Where is the audit trail?
• Where is the CCTV footage of polling stations?
• Who issued the deletion orders?
• Where is Form 7—the official deletion request?
• Which Booth Level Officer signed off?

The response was the same looping silence:

“We cannot disclose.” “No such record exists.”

This is not mismanagement.
This is erasure in broad daylight.

A crime easiest to get away with
when the evidence of the crime is the first thing vandalized.

And when citizens protest,
the Election Commission gives a justification that almost sounded poetic in its absurdity:

They said,
“House No. 0 is meant for the homeless.”

As if tens of thousands of voters
woke up one morning and magically became homeless.

Even if we accept the Election Commission’s premise, we would like to ask: what happened to the PMAY scheme, Housing for All? Accept your failure, then, oh BJP!

This is how power now speaks:

It does not explain the wrongdoing.
It explains it away.

Part 2 — And Then We Saw the Same Pattern in DHFL

While we were witnessing the erasure of voters,
something shockingly similar already happened
in the DHFL insolvency process led by the RBI-appointed Committee of Creditors or CoC in short.

Ordinary people—
teachers, widows, pensioners, army personnel, physically challenged persons, philanthropic institutes—
people who trusted the system—
saw their life savings disappear
into a resolution described as:

• “transparent,”
• “professionally managed,”
• “legally sound.”

But on the inside, the process was:

Opaque.
Hostile.
Tightly controlled.

Expropriative. Financially Abusive.

During CoC meetings:

Questions were allowed only in ways that led nowhere.
A structure designed like a horns-of-dilemma trap.

Recordings and documents were not downloadable.
Minutes were not made accessible.

And the Resolution Plan of Mr. Ajay Piramal—
the very document deciding the fate of lakhs of depositors—
had to be smuggled through intermediaries, and was never made publicly available to the “public depositors”.

Because those with the most to lose
were the ones kept blind.

Exactly as with the erased voters.

The information existed.
But it was denied to the public.

The pattern is identical:

• Records vanish.
• Questions are deflected.
• The public is told to trust the system.

Opacity is not an accident.
It is the method of rule.

The same immoral architecture governs both elections and insolvencies in Modi’s India — what I call “procedural opacity”: every abuse is hidden behind the sanctity of process.

Whether it’s the EVM or the CoC, both are machines that run on trust — and once trust is gone, what remains is not democracy, but automation of authority.

Part 3 — The NCLAT Saw the Truth… But the Supreme Court Sealed It

When NCLT ordered on 19th May, 2021 to reconsider the full repayment proposals of the ex-promoters of DHFL, they were simply left unheard, unacknowledged, ignored by the CoC and Mr. Piramal. Ridiculously, the CoC lenders said that if the order is acknowledged, it would set a “bad precedent”. Come on! Whether good or bad, we must learn to call spade a spade.

On 27 January 2022, the NCLAT acknowledged in the DHFL resolution process:

• Questionable valuation procedures that are “contrary to law”
• Disproportionate losses for small investors
• Procedural unfairness in CoC decisions including material irregularities in resolution professional’s exercise of power
• Distorted bidding advantage to benefit Mr. Piramal in an one-way manner

The wrongdoing was named.

But when the case reached the Supreme Court,
everything was overruled by the BJP-aligned Bela Trivedi’s bench.

No detailed rebuttal through arguments.
Only final authority.

We had already smelled the rat in the RBI-appointed CoC that led the DHFL resolution process.
We had written its obituary long before the verdict came, when the DHFL CIRP was still going on and the simulated bidding, sorry betting war was taking place.
Because we were sceptical then —
and we are even more sceptical now —
about the complicity of our so-called democratic institutions under the growing intervention of the BJP in the judiciary, in the legislature, and in the public sphere.

No justice is possible, be it for the Indian voters or the DHFL victims, when the judiciary is compromised and is working under the dictates of the BJP’s political executive.

We dissented, we asked—

But no institution ever cared or dared to answer.

Because today,
silence is a governance strategy.

Just like the Election Commission’s missing CCTV footage of polling booths,
Piramal’s due diligence trail is also missing.

Transparency is never denied directly.
It is simply evaded. I’ll tell you how.

Part 4 — So We Filed RTIs. And Then the Mask Fell.

We filed RTIs asking for:

• DHFL-CoC expenditures
• Voting breakdowns
• Valuation records
• Minutes of meetings
• Conflict-of-interest disclosures

And we received replies like:

“Information not available.”

“We are not answerable”.
“Records not traceable.”
“The auditor is not aware.”

Finally, all our RTIs were dismissed by the RBI after going through several trajectory of tragedy of transfers through the IBBI, the CAG, and the Department of Financial Services.

How can the auditors not know their own audits?

How can the Election Commission not know who manipulated votes?

This entire scheme certainly appears to be a major scam.

How can the CoC not know how it made decisions?

This is not confusion.
This is design.

This is not incompetence.
This is the will to hide or jugupsa.

A deliberate construction of administrative amnesia, administrative memory loss.

Each of our RTI was a lit candle against a monsoon of bureaucratic darkness.

But soon, even the flame was outlawed — with amendments to the RTI Act that stripped the Information Commissioners of independence and neutrality, and departments quietly transferring requests to “non-jurisdictional” cells.

According to data compiled by the Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative and the National Campaign for People’s Right to Information, over 50 RTI activists have been murdered since the Act came into force, and hundreds more have faced violent attacks, threats, or harassment for simply seeking truth.

The law of transparency has thus become a labyrinth of delay. RTI is murdered. Democracy is under seize.

Part 5 — The Golden Disc Reveals Its Shape

Let us see the pattern clearly:

Let us look at what has been taken, and what has been gained.

In elections, the public is losing something very fundamental — the identity of the voter, the right to simply be counted. And what did those in power gain? A clear and manufactured electoral advantage in alignment with the BJP’s Hindutva agenda of crony fascism.

In the DHFL insolvency process, the public lost their lifetime savings, the deposits of ordinary people who trusted the system. And what did power gain? Corporate consolidation — the transfer of a major ongoing, AAA-rated financial institution into the hands of one favored private corporate entity, that is, Mr. Ajay Piramal.

And when the RTI system was weakened by the BJP, the public lost the ability to question those who govern us. What did power gain? Something far more dangerous — unchallengeable, coercive authority.

So across every sphere — elections, finance, and transparency —
the pattern is the same:

The public loses identity, security, money, justice and voice.
Power gains advantage, wealth, and silence.

Whether it is votes, money, or accountability—
the direction of loss is always downward,
and the direction of power is always upward.

Truth has not disappeared.
It has been sealed behind:

Procedure.
Legal language.
Institutional silence.

This is democracy without accountability—
a democracy where visibility is treated as a threat.

They say “Digital India.”
They mean datafied citizenship.

They say “Ease of Doing Business.”
They mean ease of dispossession.

They say “Reform.”
They mean removal of fundamental rights as guaranteed in the Indian Constitution.

The language of power is always one word ahead of our outrage.

The Constitution of India is under severe danger due to the Mo-Shah gang. We, the people of India, must come ahead to defend it.

Part 6 — The Return

The prayer continues:

“Hiranmayena patrena satyasyāpihitaṁ mukham.
Tat tvaṁ pūṣan apāvṛṇu.”

Let truth be seen.

This was not written only for sages.
This was written for citizens in moments like this.

Because today:

To seek truth is political.
To demand records is defiant resistance.
To ask questions is survival through democratic dissent.

We are not merely begging for transparency and accountability.

We are demanding the right to exist:

As voters.
As small depositors.
As citizens.

We are demanding the right to see.

We have seen:

• The erasure of our votes
• The theft of our savings
• The silencing of our questions

And yet —
we are still here.

Still speaking.
Still remembering.
Still refusing to be erased.

Because the moment we stop asking—
the golden disc that hides the truth becomes permanent.

And we refuse that future.

Truth is not gone.
It is merely covered.

Our work —
is to remove the cover.

Not tomorrow.
Now.

We need non-violent civil disobedience, a mass uprising at best— immediately in India.

We must learn from the farmers’ movement — the struggle that compelled the repeal of the unjust farm laws, though it came at the cost of over 700 lives.

Because memory is our last public institution.
And remembrance is the only vote they cannot delete.

After this exposé, I wish to cite a śloka from the Bhagavad Gita. Peculiarly enough, Mr. Ajay Piramal often invokes the Gita as if it were a management handbook, without noting that Gita 9.32 itself would traditionally preclude a vaiśya from claiming scriptural authority. Please do not misunderstand me — OBMA stands firmly for the annihilation of caste. I refer to this only to underline the irony of selective appropriation.

Now I cite Gita 4.34, where paripraśna — the right to counter-question — is clearly emphasized:

तद्विद्धि प्रणिपातेन
परिप्रश्नेने सेवया ।
उपदेक्ष्यन्ति ते ज्ञानं
ज्ञानिनस् तत्त्वदर्शिनः ॥ ४.३४ ॥

tad viddhi praṇipātena
paripraśnena sevayā;
upadekṣyanti te jñānaṁ
jñāninas tattva-darśinaḥ.

Old Sinners Repeat their Sins?

“Blame the Sin, Not the Sinners“

Identify sinners, and destroy their image(s) by maintaining ahimsa or non-violence

The observation that people, often summarized by the phrase “old sinners repeat sin,” tend to repeat harmful actions is rooted in several powerful psychological mechanisms, primarily repetition compulsion, the strength of habits, and neurological reinforcement.

Core Psychological Drivers

• Repetition Compulsion (Trauma Reenactment): This is the unconscious drive to seek out and re-enact painful or traumatic experiences from the past. Individuals may do this in a misguided attempt to gain a sense of control or because the dynamics are deeply familiar. Instead of simply remembering a trauma, the person is compulsively reliving its circumstances.
• Deceptive Comfort of Familiarity: A potent factor keeping individuals stuck is the comfort found in the known, even if that reality is painful, chaotic, or distressing. The familiar, no matter how harmful, can feel safer and more predictable than the uncertainty of change.
• Habit Formation and Neural Pathways: Any repeated behavior, negative or positive, becomes deeply ingrained in our neural pathways, essentially “hardwiring” the routine. These habits operate automatically and require significant conscious effort to change. The longer a pattern is practiced, the more deeply embedded it becomes, increasing the difficulty of breaking it.

Reinforcing Mechanisms

• The Brain’s Reward System: Engaging in a harmful habit often provides immediate gratification (e.g., pleasure, temporary relief from anxiety). This immediate reward stimulates the brain’s reward centers, reinforcing the behavior through chemicals like dopamine and creating a difficult-to-disrupt cycle, despite awareness of long-term negative consequences.
• Cognitive Dissonance and Rationalization: When actions conflict with personal beliefs (“I am a good person, but I keep doing this bad thing”), the resulting mental discomfort (cognitive dissonance) is often reduced through rationalization or justification. This allows the individual to avoid genuine change, permitting the negative pattern to continue.
• Lack of Awareness and Skills: Individuals may repeat patterns simply because they are unaware of the underlying emotional triggers or they lack healthy coping mechanisms to deal with stress, anxiety, or difficult emotions effectively.
• Fear of Change: Even when a current situation is painful, the effort required to change a deeply embedded pattern and the uncertainty of the new path can act as a significant psychological barrier, making the known pain seem preferable to the unknown
