Contradiction in Vikas statements

See is contradiction in the tax expert’s 2 statements which I have copied below.

Anurag asked, Hi Vikas, Is there any way to take a benefit of Home Loan and HRA, if you bought a flat in the same city but not residing in the same flat?
Vikas Gandhi answers, No. In the given situation, you cannot claim both the benefits together.

srikanth asked, Hi vikas, I got a loan for my house and gave it for rent for last 2 years. I stayed in a rented house 6 kms away.Now i am planning to move to my house.what changes will happen to avail tax beneits in my HRA , interest ,principal paid to the bank?
Vikas Gandhi answers, As a result of this change, you will now lose the tax benefit of HRA. Till date you were able to claim both the benefit as the house you owned was rented out. But now since you yourself will be occupying the house, you can claim only interest paid benefit.

If the expert himself is so confused about his views then how is he giving advice to others.

The Tax Officers themselves do not pay taxes regularly. And are the ones having maximum black money.

Corruption brought in India by Indira Gandhi and carreid forward by Rajiv till it was in the root of the country. They are the ones who made the sufferings for Aam Admi. I hate this Gandhi family becuase of this.
