Aaj Ki Aawaz

Rumour has it that Jagat and friends misused Congress's name,
After all they are masters of this game!!!

Iraqi Authorities were led to believe that they were Congress's reps before Voucher hand over,
And of course from then onwards all transactions were done under cover!!!

Faceless Company took over and signed the Agreement to commence the Deal,
Basically Congress ke Vouchers ho gaye steal.

So Congress should file a case …. day light robbery,
By proponents of snobbery!!!

And Nut indicated this when he said he was Congress and Congress was him,
This is something that Congress should take as very grim!!!

Now Manmohan has all of a sudden started saying that Nut is not an accused,
These words as balm have been used!!!

Also there is an indication that Volcker did not send Nut the mandatory Notice,
But now hardly matters after the scandal has come to Nation's notice!!

Fact is Nut's and Congress's name is on the list…. both need to give jawaab,
And not hide behind technicalities or say this is Volcker's kwaab (dream) !!!

Sonia is livid because she knows what has happened …. Loot,
That is why she was hell bent ke Nut gets the boot!!!

Nut in the meantime got his son Jagat to hire a crowd,
So that he could speak aloud!!!

Somebody should tell them they are throwing money after a lost cause or case,
Basically Nut has lost face and in many ways the race!!!!

And his statements have caused Congress and Sarkaar embarrassment and pain,
Nut is now Congress's bane!!!

Now they say Manmohan may allocate Nut who is Minister without Portfolio specific kaam,
Would be asked to investigate that on account of this sordid episode for Congress what has been the daam!!!

Nut has installed a dart board in his Library…. with Pranab , Ramesh and Aiyer's mug shots,
Pic of Soni is the bulls eye….. seems for Soni Nut has the ire kind of hots!!!

Seems Manmohan Ji suffers from convenient amnesia…. was evident in his Speech in Bihar!!!
Blamed BJP for condition of Bihar…. forgot about RJD jisne Bihar ko kiya mar!!!

For 15 years Laloo has 'chusoed' (sucked) Bihar dry,
And Manmohan ji BJP ke naam pe karr rahe hai cry…. why????

But Manmohan did rap Buta's knuckles….. said in effect Governors should not be chaloo,
For Manmohan's info Buta has taken painkillers from Laloo!!!

Cabinet reshuffle has become a compulsion….. so cannot be postponed,
And may be one or two of Congress's berths to the Alliance Partners may be loaned!!!

Though Congressis say this time reshuffle will be a total affair de Congress,
With the exception of Yadav of RJD who exited Cabinet 'under duress'!!!

Oscar will be transferred to Party and Renuka sacked,
Many reasons why Renuka from the Cabinet is being hacked!!!

But inside story is Manmohan is sick of her 'hello hello',
They say Sonia feels Renuka behaves less like a lady and more like a fellow!!!

Amrinder is in a tizzy… after Nut's exit he is on shaky ground,
Many say now Amrinder is 'out bound'!!!

In fact Congressis feel anti incumbency could be blunted by booting out Raja,
And then they can woo Punjab electorate by singing ' aaja aaja'!!!

But as of now he has nothing to worry as marriage season is on,
Bhattal is too busy because of the marriage of her son!!

No one else in Punjab Congress has the charisma or mass appeal,
And the cunningness to keep the party and Sarkaar at even keel!!

As Laloo's defeat is becoming clearer the price of aaloo has shot up,
Defeat will prove that 'jabh takh rahe ga samose mein aaloo tabh takk rahe ga Bihar mein Laloo' was a gup!!!

Aaloo is now claiming its place with the onion….. says it deserves a higher daam,
And more so after it has shaken of its blot… Laloo ka naam!!!

Chillies burn your tongue and insides and may soon burn in your pocket a hole,
Very soon in your khaana you may have to reduce chillies ka spicy role!!!

In Congress's raaj onions, aloo and chilles have shot up and are having a domino effect,
This spurt in veggie prices is not correct!!!

Of course Pawar feels that this spurt in veggies is needed…. though says prices will stabilize,
And will settle at higher levels after the sudden rise!!!

Sensex and Nifty may now suddenly develop vertigo,
And down both may go!!!

The bottom could be anywhere at 6500 level ….. humongous fall,
Seems FIIs have now decided to stop their Indian ball (party)!!!

What goes up has to come down,
Lesson…. with Laws of gravity no one can clown!!!

They say India is a good long term story,
So if you are in the market with a long term view you have less to worry!!

Whispers --- Corporate World -

REC goes MOD ?

A.K. Lakhina, IAS, Maharashtra Cadre , took over as Chairman of Rural Electrification Corporation (REC) in August. Since then the REC Board is faced with unique challenges, with Government Directors not able to decide as to what to approve and what not. For example, the new Chairman does not want to live in the posh Asiad Village Complex which houses the top brass of most of the Public Enterprises. The Board was asked to approve a house for the new Chairman on a 500 sq.yard plot at about Rs. 2 lakhs per month. The Government Directors had to politely tell the Chairman that he will have to either live in the Company flat at Asiad or take a house within his entitlement. He has reportedly refused to shift to the Company flat but in stead he is currently lodged in the guest house of Rajasthan Government. Now the Company is reportedly searching a house at an estimated cost of Rs.10 crores for a guest house , so that the Chairman can shift there exclusively without the hastle of entitlement.

Who bothers as to what is happening to the Rajiv Gandhi GrameenVidhuyankaran Yojana, but the residential challenge to the Corporation is top priority.

Not only that, a proposal has been brought before the Board to engage an agency - most probably from Mumbai - at a monthly cost of Rs. 3.5 lakhs for two years to improve the business communication for which the Agency will set up an Onsite Design and Production Studio at the REC Corporate Office. The tendering process is on even though such routine services are provided by the advertising agencies at much cheaper cost and in no corporation such a Studio has so far been set up. The Government Directors are in a fix whether to authorise the new Chairman to accord approvals for such ventures. These are just few examples. Much more is in the pipeline.
