How
much is the Rajasthan government committed to provide potable drinking water to

regarding the same despite ample amount of money available.CAG report says- Of

able to spend Rs 308 crore. And this when several states are suffering for want
of money.

President
Bush praises Gen Jacob's book
US President George Bush and his wife Laura
Bush have written back to former Governor of Punjab and Goa, General Jacob after
reading his bestseller, Surrender at Dacca: The Birth of a Nation. The first family
of the United States have appreciated the 1971 war hero's efforts. Gen Jacob was
the key person responsible for
squeezing out a surrender from General Niazi
of the Pakistani army, during the 1971 war. In his autobiography, Niazi had claimed
that it was only due to General Jacob's military strategies that he had to surrender.
Interestingly, General Jacob's book, Surrender at Dacca: The Birth of a Nation
is also being researched upon by the new head of the British Army, Sir General
Richard Dannat.The same book has been prescribed as a text book in Israeli, US,
UK and other military training institutes and strategic relations institutions.

FORUM
Indian
Forests Service officers are agitated
The decision of PM creating a new
department of forest and wildlife and posting an IFS officer as its secretary
is being scuttled by IAS Bureaucracy. They made sure that the only empanelled
officer Kala retires and no other IFS can stake his claim on the post thereafter.
Senior IFS officers are agitated to this move as they see no future for them.

No IAS or IPS only
Specialists needed
It is indeed a contentious issue that a financial
advisor needs to be a person from the finance services or from IAS/IPS. Actually
there is no problem in having IAS/IPS as financial advisor, but I think it is
desirable to have a specialist at this job. The job of a financial advisor requires
good knowledge of finances as well as sufficient experience in this area. Otherwise,
we may see a situation where a scientific advisor in any govt. office(DRDO or
any PSU), can be an IAS/IPS, who may have done an engineering/Phd in science,
but I think that is not much desirable, as we have ample good scientist to man
that post. Similarly, the post of a financial advisor may be manned by an IAS/IPS,
but since various capable financial experts from financial services like IAAS/IDAS/IRAS/ICAS
are available, they will serve as a better option. Though it is debated time and
again that why Secy defence/science & tech/health and others, are IAS and
not a specialist, here it is to mention that these posts of Secys are more or
less administrative in nature and not too much technical as a post of finance
or scientific advisor. Therefore, this trend may not be encouraged, though exceptions
may be there. Otherwise, anybody who has done MBBS will say that he can become
director AIIMS; an science graduate will say he can become director of DRDO labs,
an aeronautical engineer will say he should become the director of airport authority.
There is a difference between 'what is available, and 'what is desirable'.

There should only be IAS secretaries
Of course there
should be only IAS Secretaries. They are the prime brain of the country, the successor
to the omnipotent ICS and the only group having the vision to lead the country.
Specialised knowledge is a misnomer. IAS Officers are also specialised in different
areas, apart from having that cutting edge administrative acumen. Creating specialised
services has generated avoidable aspirations among the less gifted, which should
be done away with. We should go back to the ICS days and have only one service.
Others should serve this Service.

Aaj Ki Aawaz
Now
you know why he's called Nut
.and he's getting nuttier with passage
of time,
Now Amar Singh's tune he's started to chime!!!
Nut and
Amar are natural allies
birds of a feather!!! Nut should remember
that Kunwars don't slip on oil and become 'tellis'!!! And just see how low Kunwar
Nut Singh has stooped!!! He knew the trust Sonia reposed in him and he misused
the trust by portraying to Saddam that he and his son represented Congress!!!
Kunwars don't do this
.. not even for a billion barrels of oil!!!! They don't
betray trust!!!!
Nut has given a clean chit to Manmohan Singh,
Amar
Singh ki tune karr raha hai Nut sing!!!
If you replay the sound bites
its obvious that there is a huge disconnect between Nut's tongue and brain!!!
Sometime back he was blasting Manmohan and now he's giving Manmohan a clean chit!!!!
He's itching to join SP
.. actually SP is a collection of people who
are SP
Sonia se Pareshaan
Mulayam, Amar and Bachchans!!!!
Now Natwar fibs and shams that he and his family could be harmed
.. fact
is that to see who has harmed him Nut needs to look into the mirror with his son
standing by his side!!!
For the paltry cheques to Amar 'Item Boy' karr
rahe hai Centre ko blame,
Just an empty blame game!!
For Bachchans
SP takes to the street but for Farmers apart form a blame game nothing else!!!
And that too when Bachchan is at fault
.. still SP workers go on rampage!!!!
No wonders they call SP as Satkeli Party!!!! Mulayam and Amar know that in the
upcoming elections SP is going to become Slapped Party and Slammed Party
..
slapped and slammed by the UP Voter!!!
After being freed form Laloo's
curse Aaloo too is acting pricey
. aloo prices have shot up,
With veggie
and daal prices going through the roof Aam Admi aaloo pe karta tha sup!!!
Now even aaloos are disappearing from tables!!! As usual good ole Pawar is
sleeping!!! Pawar's been busy
.Champions Trophy and the upcoming SA
tour and World Cup. Why can't the Bureaucrats in the Agriculture Ministry do what
the Railway Ministry Bureaucrats did when the Railway Minister played truant
.
they worked overtime and brought Indian Railways back on track!!! Isn't a Ministry
without Political interference every Bureaucrat's dream????
Indian
cricket team's payments should be performance linked,
This should be made clear
when Contract is inked!!!
This is the only way that these underperformers
will perform!!! In Mohali they literally made asses of themselves!!! Such a lackluster
performance???? And Mr. Pawar is a miserable Agriculture Minister and his distraction
BCCI is not doing any better under him!!!! Seems Pawar is over he hill and should
take sanyaas!!!!
