The ₹62,000 Crore Heist: rk Singh’s Explosive Revelation
RK Singh, once a trusted lieutenant in narendra Modi’s cabinet, turned whistleblower with a vengeance. His allegations, detailed in The indian Express on november 7, 2025, claim Bihar’s nda government cost the state ₹62,000 crore by awarding the Pirpainti thermal plant to adani Power at inflated rates. Singh, leveraging his seven-year tenure as Power minister, argues the project’s true cost was ₹24,900 crore, not the ₹62,000 crore deal. This isn’t a miscalculation; it’s a heist, with fixed capacity charges of ₹4.16 per unit ensuring adani pockets billions, whether electricity is bought or not.
The BJP’s Revenge: Expelling the Messenger, Not Investigating the Crime
Instead of a cbi probe, the BJP’s response was swift and savage: expel rk Singh for six years, as india Today reported on november 15, 2025. The party’s excuse? “Anti-party activities.” But the truth? Silencing dissent. Singh’s show-cause notice, a precursor to his ouster, accused him of harming the party, yet ignored his damning evidence. This isn’t discipline; it’s a hit job.
This expulsion isn’t just personal; it’s a message to all dissenters. Speak up, and you’re out. The BJP’s mafia logic is clear: loyalty trumps truth, and corruption is the cost of membership.
Modi’s Silence: The Architect of a Loot Machine
Narendra Modi, the man who promised transparency, now presides over a regime where whistleblowers are purged. Singh’s allegations implicate Modi’s inner circle, hinting at favoritism toward adani, a pattern documented by Reuters on november 14, 2025, with Adani’s $7.17 billion assam deal. Modi’s silence isn’t oversight; it’s complicity. The ₹62,000 crore scam isn’t an aberration—it’s the modus operandi of a government that prioritizes cronies over citizens.
This isn’t governance; it’s a protection racket. Modi’s refusal to investigate speaks volumes: the loot machine runs unchecked, and dissenters are collateral damage.
The adani Defense: Lies, Spin, and a Transparent Façade
Adani Power’s response, as quoted in The indian Express, calls Singh’s claims “entirely unfounded,” insisting the deal followed a transparent process. But transparency is a mirage when the game is rigged. The DEEP portal auction, touted as fair, conveniently favored Adani’s lowest bid of ₹6.075 per unit, despite higher costs elsewhere. This isn’t competition; it’s collusion.
The spin doctors work overtime, but the numbers don’t lie. ₹62,000 crore for a project worth half that? The defense is a smokescreen, and Singh’s expulsion proves the stakes. Adani’s empire grows, while bihar bleeds.
Bihar’s Betrayal: A State Sacrificed on the Altar of Corruption
Bihar, already reeling from decades of neglect, now faces a ₹62,000 crore drain. The Pirpainti project, meant to power progress, instead powers Adani’s profits. Singh’s warning, ignored by Nitish Kumar’s government, leaves the state vulnerable. This isn’t development; it’s exploitation. The 25-year contract ensures Adani’s windfall, while Bihar’s taxpayers foot the bill.
This betrayal isn’t just financial; it’s existential. A state desperate for growth is fed to the wolves, and Singh’s voice, silenced by expulsion, was its last hope. The suspense? Will bihar rise, or resign itself to ruin?
The Reckoning: Can india Survive This Corrupt Quagmire?
The ₹62,000 crore scam exposé and Singh’s expulsion signal a deeper rot. India’s democracy, once vibrant, now mirrors a mafia state where loyalty trumps law. The BJP’s action isn’t just against Singh—it’s against accountability.
The question looms: Will india demand justice, or accept this as the new normal? The suspense ends when citizens act—or it’s game over for governance.
