Raj of lady officers in Karnataka !

Karnataka CM's primacy to lady IAS officers by giving them important assignments shows that while others talk of giving primacy to women, the Karnataka CM has done it, at least in the field of bureaucracy by assigning most important posts to lady IAS officers. Not only the lady officers are extremely competent, it is the fertile brain of his Principal Secretary , SV Ranganath, that has made this possible. And what better way to earn brownie points from Madam Gandhi, and her principal advisers Margaret Alva and Ambika Soni. With the recent reshuffle the following scene emerges:

Additional Chief Secretary: Dr Malathi Das (PhD from USA)
Secretary, Finance: Mrs. Latha Krishna Rao (MPA from Harvard)
Secretary, Industries: Ms. Laxmi Venkatachalam (MBA from Boston)
Secretary to Governor: Dr. Gauri Trivedi (PhD from ISEC, MPA from IIM)
Secretary, Labour: Mrs. Vatsala Watsa
Secretary, Information, Tourism & Youth Services: Ms.Shantakumari
Secretary, Women & Child Welfare: Mrs. Ranjini Srikumar
Secretary, Higher Education: Ms. Sobha Nambisan
Secretary, Personnel: Mrs. Tara Ajay Singh
(Even the Deputy Secretary Personnel is a lady officer: Ms. Ekroop Caur)
Secretary: Urban Development: Mrs. Shamim Banu
Secretary, Culture: Mrs. Usha Ganesh
In addition, the most important Public Sector (Mysore Sales International) is headed by a lady officer: Mrs.Meera Saksena. The former Deputy Secretary to Dharam Singh (Vidyavati, another MPA from IIM) has been sent as Deputy Secretary to Prime Minister. And finally,even the Secretary IT of Andhra Pradesh (K Ratnaprabha) is an officer from Karnataka Cadre. Till recently, DG of ATI was Mrs. Anitha Kaul, who is now Secretary NCERT at Delhi. The senior most lady police officer in the state (Mrs. Jija Hari Singh) is the MD of Mysore Minerals. Obviously if you are a lady officer, Karnataka is the place to work now.

Aaj Ki Aawaj

Tacitly RJD, Congress, CPM and NCP Alliance has said that Laloo is CM candidate,
Yes they say official announcement will be at a later date!!!

At present their unofficial CM candidate is Laloo……but will Laloo like to go back to Bihar???
He has Prime Ministerial aspirations and in a way this will be his haar!!!!

So if his calculations work and RJD gets 80-90 seats and allies make the alliance reach the magic mark,
Then a different line Laloo will start to hark!!!

Then Rabdi will be made the CM again…….and Bihar will be back to square one,
Then guess who and what would have won!!!!

But Laloo is just building casltes in air,
This time in Bihar in comparision to last time worse he will fair.

Paswan is facing an onslaught from all sides…… but he has planned his game,
And Paswan ko yeh sabh nahi karr sakthe tame!!!

Paswan is aware that he has the key……to shut Laloo's gob and to UPA making the Sarkaar,
There is no doubt Paswan is the King Maker in Bihar!!!!

Laloo's cronies boast of 'some other' pressures being put on Paswan to change his mind,
And preceding and post Paswan's name they use adjectives that are not too kind!!!

But what are the 'other pressures' ….could someone throw some light,
Because hitting below the belt goes against the rules of any fight!!

Can Nature be that cruel……now Laloo has a duplicate????
And he too is in politics……imagine this Country's fate!!!

Ek Laloo ne Bihar ka karr diyaa kabaada……. aur UPA and Desh ke liye Laloo hai bane,
Now two will mean double the pain!!!

Reality check….Commie power is in tatters in Bihar,
And with LJP out of UPA Alliance UPA ko padhe ghi vote bifurcation ki maar!!!

And mind you though NCP is in the Alliance Pawar does not trust Laloo,
Feels that Laloo is the epitome of being chaloo!!!!

In fact Pawar says that Laloo has ensured that Paswan does not enter the Alliance,
Says that Laloo has stage managed things so that Paswan is forced to show his defiance!!!

Khurana episode has caused BJP irreparable damage…… but they can learn a lesson,
At this stage personal ambitions BJP Leaders should lessen!!!

Now is the time to try to let BJP become the BJP of yore,
When only Party interests came to the fore!!!

But seems taste of power has upset BJP's ethos…….stricken by mania de power,
Whereas selfless dedication and oneness are the needs of the hour!!!

Manmohan left France with a sweet taste in his mouth..... and his fingers crossed,
Because back home on all matters by the Commies he is bossed!!!

He has offered French the chance to India's Atomic pie,
Only thing kaise France USA aur NPT ko karre ga defy???

Now Bush says only Japan has the credentials to make it to the Security Council seat,
There is a reason why Bush aise karr rahe hai bleat!!!

Bush like Japanese cars……… and this is what made him take this decision,
Because this is a fact that Bush has very limited vision!!!

Seems America will force Pakistan to torpedo the Iran pipeline,
And with Pakistan USA Nuclear reactors ke liye pact karre ga sign!!!!

Bush always believes it is better to have two birds in the bush than one in the hand,
Bush is like an Ostrich who has his head buried in the sand!!!

Manmohan should remember that he can woo Chirac or Blair but goraa goraa mausere bhai,
When it comes to the crunch ek doosre ko nahi karte yeh defy!!!!

Hulka Fulka

The Big Easy is now the Big Pain…… Katrina and Federal Government Joint Venture effort,
Katrina caused the damage and Federal Government delayed the rescue is what people purport!!

Bush's ratings have plummeted…….. record lows,
In fact is now booed wherever he goes!!!!

Body Bag Industry in USA is pro Bush,
Because Bush has given their business a real push.
