FORUM

It's all about IRS

"We are reading a lot of sob stories on your webpage about IRS(IT) and IRS(Customs and Excise) officers voicing grievances about
implementation of their Transfer Policy. This is just a method of building a false impression in the minds of 'the powers that be' who read your most popular webpage to wrongly portray that injustice is being done through the Transfer Policy. The reality is not so. The CBDT has, for the first time this year, partially implemented the policy and the CBEC had made a beginning of sorts last year.
For the first time, in the history of both the Boards, there is a well
considered Transfer Policy based on the recommendations of a well
represented committee headed by the FM's Advisor and renowned
economist Vijay Kelkar. Implementation of the Transfer Policy is actually uprooting vested interests from their fertile ground and that is why they are crying in public with crocodile tears. Is ten years in a zone not enough for an officer? Why are other parts of India bad for them to serve in? Why do revenue officers desperately want to stay in Metros?
The FM is doing a good job of getting the policy implemented although there is still a lot of transparency needed in both the Boards. Former CVC Mr. N.Vittal has categorically stated that corruption in both the revenue services is the highest among the country's government departments and shuffling of the pack according to the Transfer Policy is the crying need of the time to save the heavily corrupted revenue services if corruption is to be reined to some extent."

Aaj Ki Aawaz

Munda's Government was always on flimsy ground,
The Coalition was never sound!!!!

With the likes of Khoda, Rai and Ekka this Coalition was never sound!!!! It was a matter time before they'd get 'hungry' and try to get more than what they've already got!!!! And with a biased Governor its advantage UPA!!!! Khoda has been promised CM's post and so the next revolt ,this time against the puppet Khoda Sarkaar, will be led by Ekka and Rai…… turncoat itch keeps returning!!!!!

Wheat imports…… the horse has already bolted,
Only if Pawar had acted in time and the barn door had been bolted???

Bread and Biscuit makers are going to be the only beneficiaries once traders are allowed to import wheat duty free…. of course as the Aam Aadmi suffers, like the infamous Marie Antoinette will Pawar say ' let them eat biscuits and sandwiches if they cannot have rotis'????

The Bread Basket of India is heading to becoming an Urban Jungle,
By allowing so much farm land to convert to urban land Sarkaars in Haryana and Punjab ne kiya hai bungle!!!

As per estimates both Haryana and Punjab will soon be 60-70% urban……(no) thanks to Punjab and Haryana Sarkaars SEZ and Urbanization drives agricultural land will shrink considerably in both States. Of course Pawar will say that Warehouses and Silos should be set up on the remaining agricultural land and India should import its Wheat requirements!!! Pawar's logic is that if you can buy milk from the open market then why keep a buffalo or cow to get milk???? And with Mulayam also on a SEZ spree India's food security is in jeopardy!!!!

Wildlife Authorities ne kiye exotic birds from Amrinder's Dochi Farm House seize!!!
Of course he's not licensed to keep these!!!!

And please bear in mind Amrinder is not a conservator but a hunter and the birds are Pheasants…. hunters mouths water when you take this bird's name !!!! Dochi Farm is Amrinder's hideout …… if you recall he had his 'lobby creating' parleys with Nut and Aiyer at this hideout!!! What excuse will Amrinder give to wiggle out of this one….. well he'll say the birds just flew in and chose to make his Farm their home!!!! But why did he not inform the Authorities about the birds…… well he had instructed the Farm House Caretaker to do so……. in the end the Caretaker will take the rap …… with or without adequate compensation????? This raid also shows that Amrinder is on Congress's 'watch out' list!!!!

Manmohan says that terrorists are roaming free,
A fallout of your Sarkaar's appeasement policy Manmohan ji!!!

There is no doubt that had the UPA not been on its appeasement trip so many terrorists would not be roaming freely!!! The terrorists and their harborers know that this Sarkaar is bending backwards for the Muslims and so they've become more confident!! In this case Sarkaar needs to disconnect running and protecting India from politics and elections!!!!!

Abu Salem is thinking of standing for elections… on which Party will he be dependent??
Or will he go independent???

He qualifies to join SP…… Muslim and goon???? And of course SP will welcome him with open arms………. for the upcoming UP elections SP is on the lookout for such candidates!!!! And then it's only natural because 'birds of a feather flock together'!!!!
