FORUM
(The views expressed in this column are necessarily of their respective contributors. We do not own any responsibility, whatsoever, about these contributions).

My choice is- Daljit Chaudhary

I think Daljit Chaudhary, IPS(UP), is a true supercop. First as SSP Etawah and then as DIG Kanpur range, he has rid the UP's Chambal and Yamuna ravines of the dacoit menace. He has been successful in eliminating the gangs of Salim Gujar, Rajjan Gujar, Mangali Keval, Chandan etc. Under his guidance and leadership, Gangs of dacoits Devkumar and Sadhusingh were finished and the dreaded Jagjivan Parihar driven out of UP after suffering major reverses at the hands of Etawah police. He has been decorated with multiple gallantry medals and is a true hero.

Indian Budget spectacle

The month of Feb is quintessential budget time, a time of secrecy, intrigue, speculation, opinions, leaks and more. FM has the distinction of presenting the budget more than any other in India. He enjoys a reputation of knowledge of law, international affairs, US policy, teacher, sharp intellect, rapid reader, and a business-cum-ruler family member, yet careful countenance.

He had brought radical reduction in Taxes in Gowda's Administration, whose benefits had been captured in Narasimha's time, helping Manmohan become a legend. The ball may have rolled earliest by Vishwanath Pratap by bringing a clean administration and inkling of liberalisation and opening up of the economy, that bloomed in later administrations including Atal Behari's and culminating in the present one, and a future untold.
The crop of youth MPs from different corners, the demand for more liberalisation, integration with global economy, yet strengthening the underlying structure of national unity and ancient social structures will all play a role. The call for federal structure of revenue sharing, dissolution of wasteful and corruption inducing structures and systems, excessive central planning, and secrecy are all under review. This Administration inherited many good policy initiatives and preparations that were immediately encashed e.g. Rejuvenation of Civil Aviation, and large purchase of aircraft for the national carrier. This was taken forward to the full-scale merger of both Indian and Air Indiam albeit with insufficient preparation to resolve the vexatious and imbalanced HR issues within each instituition and inter-institutional disparities. The quick-fix spin bowlers everywhere are hardat work, as are plans to sweep the dirt under the heavy rug that is been woven. The jokedoing the rounds about the merger is that the shotgun Marriage of Elephants (White, Gold & Red with White,Orange and Blue) will produced a swift golden Cheetah that will circumvent the globe in record speed, and conquer the Asian Tigers in the first stride itself, finally slaughtering the desert Camel that have swamped Indian cities and states (read Emirates and other Gulf brothers). I hope the Group Of Ministers and the Group Of Secretaries are astute prophetics, visionaries and proven strret smart business zen masters when they make this forecast and justify the marriage. The other speculation is that this merger with capital heavy investments (combined 110 aircarft worth USD 19 Billion or Rs.80,000 Crores) will soon become easy pickings for foreign or joint takeover after few years of sickness at throwaway prices. Every step of the process and every outcome is loaded.

For all the doomsdayers, any way the outcome is good, as nature always reverts to an equilibrium, no matter how much it is stretched oneway. Wealth also gets redistributed over a time continuum, so no reason to destabilise oneself with worry. Allow nature to play its role after mice and men have made their limited play ! This Golden Rule applies to all industries, and even personal aspects of life. Celebrate this balance, even as Entropy increases !

Exciting times are foretold in our region, as well as the MiddleEast and Gulf region ! Watch the mice play and shift the balance to one side ! Then watch nature correct the imbalance !

Aaj Ki Aawaz

Mulayam wants to become the caretaker CM,
So that in the crucial phase in UP he can appoint his choices as SP, SDM and DM.

But first things first……. because of delay in decision from the Court an illegal Sarkaar ruled UP for so long!!! Mulayam now wants to prove his majority on the floor of the House without the 37 BSP MLAs to prove that his Sarkaar was not an illegal Sarkaar. Also Mulayam wants to be the caretaker CM so that he can ensure that his people are at the helm in the Administration in Lucknow and at local levels!!! CPI(M) says that Mulayam should be given an opportunity to show his majority on the floor of the House thus giving Mulayam another opportunity to use goonda and money power to win the Vote of Confidence!!! The Governor is abs right that enough is enough and this charade needs to be put to an end……. Democracy has been defiled and now its time to ensure that no more defilement is done!!!

Karat refuses to see reality,
Can't he see that in UP Mulayam's vote of confidence makes Democracy a causality!!!

SC's decision shows the illegality of Mulayam Sarkar. Vote of Confidence means Mulayam will do some bartering and get the Votes of MLAs. 37 BSP MLAs and 10 BJP MLAs have already fallen prey!!! Karat seems to be blind to this reality and keeps harping that strength has to be tested in Vidhan Sabha!!! The Governor is abs right that another Vote of Confidence would mean allowing Democracy to be undermined!!! In the end in this case CPI (M) would end up meaning….. Could not Protect the Indefensible (Mulayam)!!!!

My guess is that Mulayam will be booted out,
And this would be the First Act of his impending rout!!!

Mulayam Sarkaar faces huge anti incumbency……. people want to put an end to the Goonda Raj in UP!!!! Mulayam is desperate to cling on to power because he hopes that he'll then be able to tweak some things in his Party's favour!! And now both Mulayam and Amar are challenging Congress to pick up the gauntlet on the sack of UP Sarkaar….. both say such a step would be suicidal for Congress……Amar uses his favourite line…. baath nikle gi toh dur takk jayegi!!! Fact is if Congress does not act now then it'll be like euthanasia on Congress's part , because Congress is as it is not doing too well in UP!!!!

Is Congress sleeping???
If they don't get their act together very soon they'll be weeping!!!

First Congress fared badly in the Maharashtra Civic Polls….. and now Congress is expected to be Voted out of power in both Punjab and Uttranchal!! Why is Congress not reading the writing on the wall???? Just a couple of months back Congress could have called General Elections and come back to power on its own…. however, today this is a distant dream!!! Congress needs to do a BJP kind Chintan Baitak..... AICC should be AICC.....Aware of Indicators and Concenred for Congress!!!

BJP's got the Middleclass enthused again,
But in Rajasthan BJP is in for pain!!!

BJP's done well in the Maharashtra Civic Polls and in Punjab BJP has also done well and will be an ally in the Sarkaar. In Uttranchal BJP is expected to form the next Sarkaar!! However, in Rajhasthan BJP is not doing too well!!!! BJP can fight the huge anti incumbency against the Vasundhra Sarkaar by changing the CM!!!! And the jostling at the top echelons of BJP should stop if they want to capitalize on the Middleclass coming back to BJP....... because of the jostling pople started deciphering BJP as Bharatiya Jhagda Party!!!

Thank God Reliance did not get the Hutch connection,
If Reliance had got Hutch many Hutch customers would have opted for disconnection!!!

Reliance is considered to be a 'cheap' option!!! Not cost wise but the way Customers are treated and the image of a Reliance Customer!! Visit any Reliance Shop and you'll realize this!!! Reliance's base is the uneducated or the bottom of the pyramid and sadly the Reliance Staff treat the educated similarly!!! Anyone looking for service will never go in for a Reliance connection!!! A revealing fact is that Airtel and Hutch Customers usually do not have alternative connections and if they do it's in all probability not a Reliance one. But Reliance customers who can afford a second connection go in for a Hutch or Airtel connection….. continuance with Reliance is forced because changing numbers is not easy!!!! Father wanted calls to be cheap whereas son made the Brand cheap!!!!
