FORUM

It is strange that people could not understand the taunting AK has made in his statement. What AK has stated is generally considered by all IAS Officers and that is why AK is just saying this in a satirical tone. He meant to say that though all other service officers do all the good work only IAS takes all credit and also the benefits. TAKE THE STATEMENT IN RIGHT SPIRIT.

S K Tripathi

It is a perfect reaction on such an article, which is full of wrong notions and far from the reality.

Aaj Ki Aawaz

Now Bush will have to sell the Nuclear Agreement to the Senate,
By the looks of it in America on this there is going to be a hot debate!!!

Because the way the US Media has responded shows that this Agreement has not gone too well with Americans. Funny but Countrymen of a Country which itself misused Atomic power lecture others on the responsibility of Nuclear power!!! This is the only way that some kind of Nuclear Proliferation can be enforced…. the back door way as has been negotiated in this Agreement!!! As of now the prospects of getting approval from the Senate seem pretty dim…. unless Bush has got something under his Cowboy Hat!!!!!

Somnath Da has to realize Speaker's responsibilities…now he's Speaker first and Comrade later,
Now the message that goes out is that Indian Speaker is a US baiter!!!

Speaker is supposed to behave apolitical and is part of the Government. And then the Luncheon was hosted by Manmohan in Bush's honor!!! Absenting himself from a Luncheon hosted by the PM in honor of a visiting dignitary was wrong!!! His loss in more than one way…. loss of image and then Bengali Babu missed out on the seafood delicacies.... just hearing the menu and any Bengali would need a bib to prevent his shirt from getting soiled with falling saliva!!!

Commies should realize that India is not the looser in this deal,
But then its for Communism and not for India that Commies feel!!!!

If the Senate disapproves the Nuclear Agreement…. US loses face…. and things are back to the pro Agreement days!!! If the Agreement is ratified India has a lot to gain!!! In fact if you look at it India is in a 'heads it wins and tails America loses' situation!!! Remember what is good for Communism is not good for India!!!!

Laloo did not attend Kalam's Banquet….. Laloo had a reason,
Because he felt that his electorate may take attendance to be treason!!!

He attended Manmohan's luncheon because he could not come up with an excuse…. and then on TV Laloo's photo attending the luncheon was shown pretty often…. this made Laloo very uncomfortable. In the evening he found an excuse and kept sitting in Lok Sabha answering questions on the Railway Budget!!!

Mulayam says the deserting MLAs should be disqualified…. Pehelwan's logic is warped,
When these guys deserted BSP this logic he had not harped!!!

Mulayam is fast loosing it!!! SP may parade the remaining BSP turncoat MLAs and say that they are with SP…. but fact is things are in a flux!!! There are some more who want to go back to their roots….. of course they want some assurances before they shift back…. they do not want their condition to be 'na idhar ke rahe aur na udhar ke rahe'!!! By the way one of the SP lot attended the Luncheon for Bush wearing the silly Samajwaadi Party cap. Bush must have wondered is this the Indian version of the American dunce cap????

Congress is talking to Ajit……. and as you know Ajit strikes a hard bargain!!!
After all his is politics of gain!!

Will there be President's Rule in UP???? Congress Leaders say that this would only be looked into if there is a credible explanation!!!! Credible explanation being an indication that Mulayam Sarkaar is in a minority!!! But this is for sure that the countdown for Mulayam being launched out of UP has begun!!!!! And now UP should get ready for the Gandhi siblings taking center stage in UP…. Congress think tank is of the opinion that this is an opportune moment for Rahul to jump in the political deep end ... and his sis should be at hand!!!

Raj Babbar has given UP Governor Amar ki infamous CD,
Governor should hear it and hear for himself that things in UP under SP are indeed seedy!!

The CDs show what Mulayam and Amar think of the Judiciary….. and CD also shows Mulayam and Amar's seedy CDs…. Crooked Deals!!! Okay Amar's privacy has been invaded….. punish those who invaded it…… but what about the scum unearthed…. just because the means were not correct does not mean Amar should be let off the hook or the CDs should not be revealed!!!! Its like someone digging in the middle of a road and unearthing a huge cache of drugs..... now the Police will arrest the person for digging up a Public Road but will it put the drugs back or confiscate the drugs and investigate the matter???

There are lot of parallels in WB and Bihar polls,
Commies nowadays are real dukhi souls!!!

First came the Voter lists that were expunged of bogus voters!!! Then like they did to Laloo , Congress is aiming at cutting the Commies to size. In Bihar it was Paswan and in WB its Mamtha. Polls are going to be held in five phases….. very ominous!! This is for sure that this time Commies are going to come back with depleted numbers….. that should be a victory for Congress!!!!

Manu 'hathyaara' Sharma tried to get the Press off his trail…via a signed statement said he was at his sugar mill,
He's in Honk Kong or Singapore as per the rumor mill!!!

Manu 'hathyaara' sent a statement duly signed that he was not abroad and was busy working in his Sugar Mill. Well the Press have found that he's not at any Mill. Actually he cannot show his face to the Press and cannot come out in the open for fear of being abused by the Public so he's gone underground abroad!!! Papa is also hiding…. is at large in Haryana!!!

Is Greg Chappel trying to get himself fired???
They say 'firing' was a contentious clause in negotiations when he was to be hired!!!

Otherwise why should this dolt continue to make such comments!!! Is he daring or orally 'middle fingering' the BCCI ???? BCCI needs to tell Chappel that he's got 'loose kangaroos in his top paddock' (gone wonky) and he needs to zip it up!!!!
