FORUM

To me it looks rather odd and inappropriate to
appoint mostly retiring/serving members of the IAS as
Information Commissioners.Our society has no dearth of
talented people and many of them have passion and
commitments to issues like transparency and
freedom.Such persons should have been preferred.Right
to information confers on the citizen another
entitlement.This empowerment would flourish and the
society would benefit only if the relevant
administrative apparatus does not turn out to be
another den of bureaucrats.

Former Secretary, Govt of India

Aaj Ki Aawaz

BJP …… what is happening to this Party???
Why have all in the Party turned so tarty???

Everyday one or the other BJP Leader creates problems for the Party????
Some have genuine reasons and some are just being crafty!!!

Can't they declare ceasefire for some time???
And declare internal strife to be a crime!!!

Timing of 'Meri Samajh mein' Pramod is really fantastic,
Just shows that he struck when it was oppurtunistic.

Pramod calls for unison of Top Leadership … hope he recalls the Mahajan caused rifts,
Hope he sits down and the past he sifts!!!

And if list is made for those to be blamed for BJP's fall…Mahajan's name would be on the top,
Mahajan did not prick but took a 'byte' to make BJP's balloon pop!!!

Take Mahajan's name in front of many BJP Leaders and you can see smoke coming out of their ears,
And some even burst into tears.

Like Madan Lal Khurana …..smoke comes out his ears and tears from his eyes,
Says that all that Pramod fed top leadership about him was nothing but a pack of lies!!!

Uma's supporters have demanded a Legislature meet,
Seems they are hell bent ke Babulal ko karre unseat!!!

Deewane BJP waale jaise nahi iss ambar ke neeche (Teesri Manzil hit),
Aage badh rahi hai Congress aur yeh apni hi Party ke padhe hai peeche!!!

UPA Allies say that Sonia's Commandments do not apply to them…. they can splurge,
They say for them guiding principal is their urge!!

By the way now Congress wants to get out of the Maharashtra MLAs rat race,
There is a reason why Congress is showing this grace!!!

Majboori ka doosra naam Sonia Gandhi….. forced to wave the white flag,
Cannot afford to let the NCP Congress relationship sag!!!

With Laloo's sun setting in Bihar and Commies showing their teeth,
Congress cannot antagonize NCP and make Pawar seethe!!

Sonia's rallies in Bihar should show her how Congress's and Laloo's stock gaya hai fall,
But simple arithmetic is not allowing her to take the call!!

In fact had Congress not been with RJD Congress would have won more seats,
RJD is like an albatross around Congress's neck…. now heading for more defeats!!

Sonia can wave her hand….. blacken BJP….. nothing will happen as dye has been cast,
And with a rootless Laloo wonder how long RJD Congress relationship will last????

UPA is awaiting SC's detailed judgement on Bihar Assembly dissolution,
Will be reading between the lines to find a 'suitable' solution!!!

Fact is both President Kalam and PM Manmohan are disturbed… want Buta to go,
Only problem …. Laloo is twisting Congress's hand to say 'no'!!!

Or like the split verdict info maybe Loose Cannon Bhardwaj has some more inside dope,
That after the detailed verdict situation will be more conducive to cope!!!

People will be disappointed if two honest men twiddle their thumbs as Laloo and Congress make a mockery of Democracy,
Bihar is a classical example of Congress's and Laloo's autocracy!!!

Two events need answers…. Manmohan calling a midnight Cabinet meet for President's Rule recommendation,
And Kalam leaving a State dinner in Russia to sign the promulgation!!!

Explanation on dono top and honest men ki hurry ??
Of course we are all aware of Congress's and Laloo's worry!!

And if you take an All India Poll people will say that Buta and Laloo are to blame,
And Congress is looked upon as 'aider and abettor' and sharing the shame!!

Sonia has to realize that what price is Congress paying for Laloo's support,
Because Congress is also now being tainted and Party with a difference it can no longer purport!

Buta has to go….. the cause of this drama is going to be taught a lesson by the people of Bihar,
This will be done by ensuring RJD's haar!!!

Congress has got its knuckles rapped for its role in this drama by the negative publicity it has got,
Congress is now perceived as aiding and abetting in Bihar the rot!!!

Hulka Fulka

Now Big B says that Sharukh is the Big M of Bollywood…. Big Maharaja,
Seems both are fond of bajaoing for each other their baaja!!!

Big B is a hero in real life too,
Paid off his debts and wiped the blot off his mooh!!

This is the reason why he is adulated,
He has reason to feel elated!!!

Learn a lesson…. Pay your debts and come clean,
As a real hero you too will be seen!!!

Because our Society is sick of seeing the high and mighty get away with everything,
Law Book in the face of law they fling!!!

So what Big B did made him a hero in people's eyes,
Because they know he is one of the rare mighty 'payback' guys!!!
