FORUM
Aaj Ki Aawaz

Wasn't there a rumour that Chidambram (PC) would read out the Budget from his Laptop????? Well after seeing what proponents, Krishna and Naidu, of the Laptop have faced at the hustings , PC decided give the Laptop a miss and do it the good old way…flip pages!!!!

Some people feel the Turnover Tax can be equated to The Empire Strikes Back…..remember how the share markets had reacted to Sonia becoming PM???? Well now the Empire has struck back by literally levying Double Taxation, on entry and exit, on the Stock Market!!!!

The Railway and General Budgets are being termed as 'Wheeler and Dealer!!!!' The Budgets affect both…. however, the true Wheelers and Dealers have never and will never be affected!!!!

Commie policy is clear…..they do not want to uplift Society but bring everyone down to the same level!!!! Will the Commies press for privatisation in the Private Sector???? This should make the Markets shoot up as Business Houses go on a frenzy buying spree to increase their holdings???

NDTV flashed on the screen that the post Budget discussion with PC was an NDTV exclusive!!!! Funny but PC appeared on practically every News Channel…so how can NDTV term it as an exclusive???? Yes, NDTV could have said 'sabh se first' …..Sabh Se Tez has been patented by Aaj Tak………..actually there is now a war going on between Aaj Tak and NDTV for the top slot……the title of 'sab se tez' or 'Sab se first'…….Pranoy is working closely with Congress on this aspect!!!!

'At sea' (because of the Ministry he has been allotted) Jagdish Tytler has renamed his Ministry as Ministry of Overseas Indians. After sitting in the Parliament Canteen up to now Tytler now has a regular Office…… two floors in the defunct Akbar Hotel. He is also laying part claim on the Apartment in New York , which as of now is with the MEA…..is the Minister of Overseas Indian planning to become one himself?????

Shameful but true….George Fernandes was strip searched during his visits to USA….that too when he was Minister of External Affairs???? Next time when Colin Powel visits India he should be made to go through Indian Immigration and Customs , as revenge and then he should be strip searched…..this is necessary because of America's Hidden Agenda in its Foreign Policy….Powel's last trip left a bitter taste!!!!

Rumour has it that P.M. Sayeed will be the Deputy Speaker in Rajya Sabha and will exit the Cabinet. Satish 'Artsy' Sharma and R.K. 'Shorthand' Dhawan are being tipped for Ministerial berths. Sharma is being tipped for the Petroleum Portfolio ……will Dhawan become 'powerful'????

Like Shivraj Patil ,Renuka Chowdhury has an interest in guns….he collects guns and she recommends guns. She has recommended a Russian make 150 mm Self Propelled Howitzer Gun to the Defence Ministry…..in fact she says as Tourism Minster she can arrange a Gun sourcing Tour for the MOD officials……..?????

What is this red colour pocket card-holder that Jairam Ramesh has started wearing around his neck???? For your info it is 10 Janpath ID and key to the toilet….minions have demarcated areas in 10 Janpath!!!! By the way Jairam slinks in and out of Parliament ..why…..because whenever a BJP MP sees him the MP shouts out his name and makes it sound Jai Ram!!!! How can Jairam allow his name to be used by the Fascists …that is what he labels BJP Members!!!!!! !

WHISPERS ---- CORPORATE WORLD :---

Who is this CMD ?

A case of having your 'Double Roti' and eating it too is what comes to your mind on hearing how the CMD of a powerful organization in the Department of Petroleum with headquarters in Delhi was double promoted from ED to Chairman in one stroke. It is common knowledge that he made it to the top job with the blessings of a 'son in law' as godfather. A double whammy by the CMD is that now he disowns the family connections, for the winds of change have swept in-laws into 'out'laws, but, come 2006 he might be realigning 'law'alties.
