Aiyer says that Rahul Baba okay's projects!!!!
What The Baba accepts Sarkaar accepts and what he rejects Sarkaar rejects!!!
As per Aiyer all projects need Rahul's approval!!!
Though on this statement Congress will show in Public its disapproval!!!
Rahul places the file on the ground and breaks a coconut on the file!!!
If the coconut breaks project is okayed if not file is put in the rejected
pile!!!
Was the recent Project J&K also okayed by him?????
Must have been because Aiyer has said Congress moves as per Rahul's
whim!!!
Congress and PDP have provided separatists cannon fodder!!!
And have just helped in multiplying the disorder!!!!
ISI can take it easy with Congress and PDP doing the required!!!!
Free service because by ISI both have not even been hired!!!
And for what...... vote bank appeasement!!!!
Loud and clear the message to individual vote banks has been sent!!
This was the right time ki J&K problems karte solve!!!
But seems this Sarkaar lacks the resolve!!!
Pakistan is on its knees!!!
As a Terrorism State Pakistan the World sees!!!
This Sarkaar has lost a great opportunity!!!
As it's been engrossed in vote bank politics and that is a real pity!!!
Manmohan's or Mohna's stupidity on the Deal made Sarkaar waste precious
time!!!!
Because for consensus on such a vital issue he did not care a dime!!!
For two years UPA and Commies played games!!!
Blame game by putting on each other blames!!!
The correct way was to take all Patriotic Parties onboard!!!
But seems Congress was petrified that from power it'll be thrown overboard!!!
For the Nation's sake why did Congress not try to cozy up with SP earlier!!!
And allowed matters between Congress and SP to get surlier and surlier!!!
All this should show you that for Congress the Nation comes fourth!!!!
For the first three places for Congress the Nation is not worth!!
In the first three places it is power, selfish interests and Gandhi
pariwaar!!!
And Nation comes a distant chaar!!!
What is needed in J&K is vote bank siyaasat se azaadi!!!!
Its this vote bank siyaasat that is causing barbaadi!!!!
Was Haywood a CIA operative????
And US pressured India to be cooperative!!!
Haywood was allowed to fly out!!!!
On this now there should be no doubt!!!
What is the delay in the Cabinet Reshuffle????
Is it Soren or some other internal power scuffle????
Soren will end up with his hands getting black!!!
As he's going to get Coal Ministry back!!!
SP seems to have decided not to join the Sakaar!!!!
Will give support and get work done from bahaar!!!
Confucius says... Commies have been replaced by SP,
JMM scandal has been replaced by Amar Tapes...history repeats itself
as you can see!!!

Book tormentors to ensure justice
Suicide attempt by Director traaining of RAW in front of PMO to draw attention
of authorities against her sexual harassment by her seniors is a very
serious matter. Inspite of Supreme Court guidelines, in the case of Vishakha
Vs State of Rajasthan, complaints of sexual harassment get brushed under
the carpet when offenders are powerful persons. That such a thing could
happen and offenders go unpunished in an office which is under Cabinet
Secretariat is indicative of extremely sad state of affairs. Instead of
the lady officer being subjected to more mental trauma by registering
case against her for attempted suicide and labelling her as suffering
from mental illness, her tormentors should be immediately brought to book
irrespective of the position they may be holding. She needs to be supported
wholeheartedly to ensure justice.

Concentrate more on quality of sporting events in our country
Regarding the indignation at our President/PrimeMinister not being invited
at the Beijing Olympics, we should concentrate more on the quality of
sporting events in our own country so that we are able to send more gold
medal winners which would enhance the reputation of our country.

Country lacks visionary leaders, better appoint Musharraf as CEO
There is grave shortage of competent leaders who can pull the country
out of grave crises of Jammu and Kashmir, constant dangers of terrorism
and provide effective governance. With mainstream parties fighting among
themselves for showing larger support to organisations aiding destructive
forces, mud-slinging, vying for votes etc, situation appear dismal. There
is no visionary leader who can think of immediate, short term and long
term problems faced in the country, look and plan for solutions. Only
very few leaders like Dr Abdul Kalam, Narendra Modi etc. have such vision
but unfortunately they don't have vast following in entire country. With
Musharraf now out of job, 8 year experience of managing our neigbouring
country well and out of turmoil in great crises situation, should we not
consider to appoint him our CEO for a contract period of say 3 years with
provision of extention and removal earlier form the job based upon performance.

Equal pay for equal work
I fully agree with Vijay, who I think is frustrated like me and others
who have to sit late without any financial benefit. Though we as Government
servant are bound to have 24 hours duty, frustration creeps in when we
see the staff in offices coming office only after 10.00 a.m. and leaving
it at 5.00 p.m. regularly. Still, they are not being asked about the reason
for late coming for months and years together whereas the officials who
are performing well are questioned about whereabouts, if not found in
the office by 9.30 a.m. In my view the quotation 'sincerity pays' should
be changed to 'sincere pays'. I remember the days when I was posted in
a Ministry and was forced to sit late, not to do the work, but due to
officers lack of confidence over his work, who had to wait till his boss
calls him up to rectify his drafts, and I was bound to sit late for his
lack of complete knowledge or you may say habit of buttering his boss.
Thereafter, I was posted with a nice officer, who in his farewell has
very rightly said "If a government employees works honestly for 3-4
hours, there is very little need to sit late".
These are different narrations of posting and luck. But whatever the reason,
when everybody is aware that in government offices, employees are getting
equal pay + overtime even if they are leaving office at 5.00 p.m. then
the frustration is bound to live up. Some serious steps need to be taken
to avoid humiliation and create a better harmonious atmosphere in office.

Where civil engineering marvels as pot holes on roads !
The civil Engineering marvels as a land mark in the shape of massive pot
holes in Delhi roads during rainy season. The Slogan of CPWD as "150
yrs of Engineering excellence" in the print media 1-2 years ago is
the shining example of dilapidated Government building/quarters with poor
maintenance record. Though maintenance of Delhi roads are not CPWD job,
yet PWD Department of Delhi Government are some way administered by CPWD.
In Delhi there are only 2-3 stretch of roads where we find that maintenance
is done in a proper way, i.e. stretch of Janpath road in front of CM Delhi
and probably few stretches in New Delhi area. Rest of the area is in shambles.
Under the circumstances, let the private contractors do the job independently
with accountability to RWA's and do away with so called excellent Engineering
Departments for the sake of saving tax payers money.

Book on RTI Act is an excellent do it yourself guide
On the whispers I read about the RTI book and immediately called for a
copy of the same. The book on the RTI Act by Dr. Verma is an excellent
do it yourself guide for the PIO and the first appellate authority who
are facing increasing number of queries from the public with no authentic
material to rely upon. Thankyou for bringing such news which would help
in removing a lot of confusion.

War Memorial - Kudos to Madhya Pradesh
I attended a function organised by the Madhya Pradesh Foundation at the
India Habitat Centre, Delhi on 10 July 2008. In the presence of Jyotiraditya
Scindia, MoS for Communications & IT , the Chief Minister Madhya Pradesh
Shiv Raj Singh Chauhan (BJP) announced that Madhya Pradesh would take
steps forthwith to establish a War Memorial in the state. He also requested
Scindia and the former CM of MP, Digvijay Singh to help get the message
across to the politicians at the centre regarding the crying need to set
up a national war memorial at Delhi. To my mind it was not an empty promise.
It was made in the presence of Army Chief, Vice Chiefs of Army & Navy,
DGOS, DGMS(Army) & Brig Tom Pande, Mahavir Chakra - all are sons of
Madhya Pradesh except Army Chief whose father in law Brig Tom Pande is
from MP.
The occasion was the second annual lecture in memory of late Col Ajay
Mushran (he was a contemporary and good friend of Gen. SF Rodrigues, present
Governor of Punjab at the Training Academy ) who served with distinction
26 years in the Army & 24 years in politics. Col Mushran was the respected
Finance Minister in Digvijay Singh's cabinet. The CM also announced that
the stadium at Narsinghpur, MP, would be named after Col Ajay Mushran.
The CM deserves kudos & the gratitude of Veteran soldiers from all
over India for speedy implementation of his promise. Last week, I came
across the Tender notice issued by MP, inviting Expressions of Interest
for setting up the War Memorial in the hills around Bhopal. Incidentally,
at the function, the quote of the day & - one which was echoed by
others came from Brig Pande. He said that today's soldier should be given
a better quality of life and that the gaurav & samman of earlier days
should be returned to him. He elaborated that everyone should realise
that soldiers will often risk / lay down their lives for that one inch
of ribbon and not just for money !
