FORUM

All India Services Conduct Rules are mis-used as a convenient tool nowadays by the Govts concerned to harrass some officers, selectively. If a Govt is not well disposed towards an officer, they find some or the other excuse to trouble him. Conduct Rules are quite handy for such purposes & frequently resorted to. Actually the conduct rules are the binding tool or a contract between the two, i.e. employer and the employee.

IAS Associations are simply emasculated by the Govts, as the office-bearers need proper postings, promotions, foreign tours too. Their reaction is subdued in such cases. Govt also does not allow the Associations to take up cases of individual officers. In cases of gross or continued harrassments, the officers are driven to CATs and Courts for redressal as the Associations have failed to protect honest offices repeatedly.

Resort to such forums makes the Govts even more stubborn against the officer concerned. While the Govt may implement the decision of judicial forum, they tend to create some other record against the officer, due to revengeful attitude and then harrass him again.

IAS officers are primarily grievance redressal officers in every posting they hold. But grievance redressal mechanism for their own self is very jittery. The Govts expect every officer to fall in line with their policies, and slightest syptom of being upright is sufficient to invite troubles. The steel-frame has been subjected to excessive heat by most Govts or making re-moulds as per their choice.

Between an officer and the Govt, the latter being hundreds of times more powerful, there should be no right of appeal to the Govt. But the officer should be allowed that facility. Govt spends only the public money to fight the case, whereas the officer pays up from his pocket, thus constraint of resources acts as a limiting force on him to go further.

Mufti is playing hardball.... Mehbooba is pushing him to do so,
To a temporary reprieve he is saying a emphatic no!!

He has stressed that he wants to remain CM for rest of the term or willing to shift now,
Now it is to be seen to his maneuverings will Congress bow???

Sonia household is divided…. Sonia wants him to stay and Rahul wants him to go,
Rahul wants this because Mufti hai uss ke jigri dost Omar ka foe!!!!

Omar is a real wheeler-dealer…. when Vajpayee was in power was his son in law's bum chum,
And now when Sonia is in power he and Rahul swear ' yeh dosti kabhi nahi hogee kumm'!!!

If Mufti continues Congress's claimant to the throne will be happy,
Strange because on losing the throne he should be crappy!!

Itne khush kyon ho Guylam Nabhi Azad???
Seems in Kashmir as CM he would be encaged however in Delhi will continue to be azaad!!!

And he knows Mufti is doing a good job and will not be able match his good kaam,
Also for not matching up could end up paying politically a very heavy daam!!!

Seems now RJD and Congress are fighting EC in this election,
EC has caused both a lot of dejection!!

EC has done its job……. Ejected Crookedness and so RJD and Congress are unhappy,
Had EC played ball and allowed EC ….Election by Crookedness….. then both would not have been crappy!!

Now for RJD and Congress EC is Dushman Number One,
Both lament that EC's strictness is 'over done'!!!

Now Buta says that SC has something against him… SC has passed a judgment that he should be evicted from his Delhi house,
Laments SC has already passed judgment that as Bihar Governor he acted like a louse!!!

Buta says that if he is booted out of Raj Bhavan and also booted out of Delhi home then where will he go???
And pleads that he has a family of 70 in tow!!!

SC's detailed Order in the Bihar Dissolution matter could ignite a chain reaction,
After the SC order expect in the highest echelons of power action!!!

Manmohan recommended on Buta's advice and Kalam signed the promulgation based on Manmohan's advice,
Now lets see will the advisors or the signer pay the price???

But if Kalam resigns…. UPA will go the next dinn,
Because if Buta's advice was wrong it was Manmohan who should have thrown it into the bin!!!

First Mau and now Agra…… Mulayam better be ready for Congress to demand President's Rule,
He knows that Congress is an expert is using the relevant Law as a tool!!!

Then Rahul Baba would be de-facto CM of the State,
And would be deciding Mulayam's fate!!!

How come all of a sudden communalism has raised its head in UP and made it Unrest Pradesh???
For quite some time despite being a potential hotspot was comparatively a peaceful place in the Desh!!

Sukhbir Badal has done a Laloo and predicted in ten years will become India's Prime Minister,
Someone should tell him that day dreaming is good but hallucinating is bad Mister!!

The way things are going he should be happy if he can become CM in ten years,
Not being able to get Punjab's Chief Ministrership should be his biggest fears!!!

Because if Akali Dal wins the next election his Dad will become the CM…. Sukhbir will have to wait,
And so you can see for yourself to become CM at present he has a ten year wait at this rate!!!

Because after Badal becomes CM the next election Congress could win ….anti incumbency vote,
So Sukhbir would have to wait for another five years thus totaling ten years…. hope he takes note!!!

Is Sukhbir aiming for double promotion….. no Chief Ministership …straight PM???
Personally I feel Sukhbir should thank his stars if at this rate he becomes CM!!!

Why does Yechury give his Press statements in front of the statue of Karl Marx….. loyalty or conviction??
Either way to give the right effect he should also use the right diction!!!

Commies and SP are cozying up again……realization of reality is the cause for the cozying up!!!
Though Congressis will say that this a gup!!!

Fact is behind the scene manipulations are on as politically there is a anti Congress swell,
On this fact hope Sonia would care to dwell!!!

Film stars hobnobbed with underworld…… but there is a difference with them and Chi Chi (Govinda's pet name),
Because he is an MP that is why people are saying chi chi ( bad)!!!

To say that this does not matter as it happened in the past is wrong…. in politics past does matter,
Because of their past many politicians reputations ho gayee tatter!!!

In fact Govinda is Chi Chi ( Baddie) Number One,
And he has to answer allegations that with the help of underworld election he has won!!!

Govinda nowadays sings …. Chchodo kall ke bathe kal ki bathh poorani!!!
Rajat Sharma with Anil and Boney Kapoor reply in chorus….. Govinda yaad karra di tujhe teri Nani!!!
