Interview with Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister For
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan
victory of the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) in recent assembly polls is yet another
milestone in many ways. However, Chouhan who has all along enjoyed the reputation
of being the man next door has well defined goal of putting Madhya Pradesh on
fast track of growth. Chouhan has the rare distinction of ensuring return of
the BJP to power for second term in Madhya Pradesh & that too in a row. However,
he quite candid to admit that for him "service to people comes first, than
anything else." In an interview to <whispersinthecorridors.com>Chief
Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan unraveled his roadmap for next five years. Here
are excerpts from his interview:
Question: -. What is your
source of inspiration that keeps you going? Answer:
-To me, work is way of worshipping. I often say in my speeches that
every person doing his work dutifully and devotedly is actually devotee of the
God. The God is not an abstract being. The God expresses himself through the deeds
that we do for social good. Question:-How do you like to relax? Answer:-I
like to relax by spending quality time with the family members. Also by reading
books. Swami Vivekanand is my personal favourite. Question: -What steps
are you taking to make bureaucracy more responsive? Answer:-I
have taken up the exercise of "Jandarshan" for this very purpose. Even
the exercise of Manthan was aimed again for this very goal. In addition to this
during my previous tenure "CM MONIT" was a regular exercise attempted
by me & so was "Samadhan online". Now I intend to strengthen these
activities & also plan to introduce some new measures. Question: -Do
you think that it is high time to introduce Police Commissioners system in cities
like Indore & Bhopal? Answer: -At
this juncture I would only like to say that I would certainly see to it that the
effectiveness of police machinery improves. Question: - What are your plans
for rapid industrialization in Madhya Pradesh? Answer:-In
the last term we have gone whole for increasing industrial investment in the state.
However, due to the global Economic meltdown, we have also been impacted. But,
wait for a while, we will be rebounding soon. Question:- As public perception
is that there is going to be a rampant corruption because election was quite expensive.
How are you going to counter corruption? Answer:-In
matters of controlling corruption, I would prefer that my actions speak &
not me.

Aaj Ki Aawaz Congress says
BJP's win in Jammu is bad for secularism!!! Congress has brought India to
its knees with its pseudo-secularism?? The Jammu result should make Congress
worried
scared stiff!!! This could be the things to come ki whiff!!!
For five years Congress has ruled with a majority minority fixation!!! And
literally ruined the Nation!!! India is attacked and rather than wiping the
affected lots tears!!! You have Mohna and his Boss expressing for the majority
minority fears!! PMO has been relegated to second slot!!! On PMO this
is indeed a blot!!! For the first time in the history of the Nation PM is
not then one who decides!!! Decision depends on with what and whom Sonia sides!!
PM in Mohna's case is Puppet Minister!!!! PM not being at the wheel is very
sinister!!! Arun Nehru who has turned psephologist by force to stay politically
alive, Is giving Congress in the general elections a high five!!! Or is
he trying to wiggle his way back into Congress!!!! Tells all he's a Congressman
at heart whatever may be his dress!!! Congress itself is not expecting more
than 130-140 seats!!!! And it knows the recent State elections were not the
heats!!! Had BJP not hit a few self goals!!! But for the Malhothra self
goal BJP could have won the Delhi poll's!!! My guess is that this time India
will give Congress's (pseudo) secularism the boot!!!! Congress is covered
in bad governance , corruption and vote bank politics soot!! Very soon Sonia
will realize the fickleness of Pawar, Karuna and Laloo!!! When it comes to
getting power all three are chaloo!!! This time it was Congress and next
time it could be Third Front, For grabbing power all three are always in the
hunt!!! Madam ji don't you squirm when you sit across the table with Amar
Singh???? In your ears don't his personal attacks ring??? How will you
react when you see posters of Rahul and Amar standing side by side?? Sonia
will order ' paint Rahul's photo is such posters so that Rahul ho jaye hide'!!!
Public's take will be negative when they see Rahul side by side with Mr. Greaseball!!!
Political hara-kiri iss ko karte hai call!! Confucius says
.. people
do keep an eye on the friends we keep!!!! Into our principals and morality
this allows them to have a peep!!! Bharat Kumar
Forum
How to defeat Pakistani Army ? Generally, an Army is defeated by the
other Army. But the great strategician Sun Tzu said that it is not a big fun.
In defeating an Army without using yours lies the Strategic acumen.. My solution
: Export some senior IAS and IPS to Pakistan to function as Cab Sec and Command
ISI.... The Pak Army and ISI will be raised to dust within a few years and
enslaved beyond recovery by their immoral competitive acts.. IAS and IPS have
significant experience and expertise in this field. They have done that very successfully
and successively in India. Indian Armed Forces are biting dust and stand fully
cheated and demoralised... There lies the true strategy... Rajan Execute
anti-Indian activists in Pak The time has now come that GOI gives a clear
order to RAW/MI to plan the execution of most wanted criminal and the retired
ISI officers who are engaged in anti Indian activities in Pakistan. Most of the
retired ISI bosses are funded by Pakistan Govt/Army for this job and they assist
criminals like Dawood/Let Chief. You need not to spent much for this as the fidaeens
are available for 50000/1ac in Pakistan. Only thing required to give a blanket
permission to RAW or MI with positive target elimination fund and execution time.
Such officers of WAR/IM will also require shield against future complications
created by so called human right activist/Pakistani dalals at high position in
Indian politics. Ghanshyam Country needs protection from our
own men Today if the country needs protection then it is not from Pakistan
or ISI or any other country - instead it is from our own so called leaders - criminal
turned ministers, CMs, MPs and MLAs like the one BSP MLA Shekhar Tiwari who has
killed PWD engineer in UP. These leaders are the supper terrorists who are terrorizing
and looting their constituencies and country as a whole. It is they who do not
want our country to be literate and come above poverty line because they know
if the country is literate then the people will throw these criminal turned leaders
out of power. Today there is no department in GOI or any State Govt. where citizens
can seek justice. Everywhere corruption and bribe are prevalent. I even being
a govt. servant do not have the courage to seek any information from any department
including my own department. It is next to impossible to get any work done without
paying under the table. Why? Why? Why? My dear readers soon there would be Lok
Sabha elections. Let us take a pledge that Enough is Enough and that we will make
use of 49 O Section of "No Vote" to protect our motherland from this
dirty rajniti. Jago India Jago. Kaushal Brutal killing condemned
Confederation of Central Engineering Services has strongly condemned the brutal
killing of Executive Engineer, U.P.P.W.D. by extortionists through letter to C.M.
of U.P. enclosed here: To Km. Mayawati, Hon'ble Chief Minister, Uttar
Pradesh, CM Sachivalaya Annexe, 5th Floor, Lucknow (UP). Sub: Protest
against brutal murder of Er. Manoj Kumar Gupta, Executive Engineer, UP PWD. Madam,
We, the Engineers, belonging to Confederation of Central Engineering Services
(CCES), strongly condemn the brutal and ghastly murder of Er. Manoj Kumar Gupta,
Executive Engineer, UP PWD, Auriya allegedly by Shri Shekhar Tiwari, MLA and his
accomplices. This brutal act highlights the atmosphere of terror under which
the Government Engineers are working. They are not being protected by the Government
throughits bureaucratic and police machinery. The reign of terror unleashed by
the criminals forces the engineers to live constantly under fear and perform their
duties as per directions of the criminal politicians, arrogant bureaucrats and
apathetic and corrupt police. We would request you to kindly get this incident
investigated by an impartial central agency to bring out the truth behind the
overall conspiracy and cause of the murder and not just the manner in which an
innocent person has been killed so brutally. You are also requested to provide
adequate relief and protection to the family members of the deceased officer and
ensure that in future administrative machinery protects the Engineers who are
working for the development of the State/Nation rather than harassing them for
illegal gratification. [Er. Sarvagya Kr. Srivastava] President Allahabad
High Court - the only hope It is futile to expect the UP IAS association
to create a furore about an Engineer's murder. The only authority which can step
in is the Allahabad High Court. Vijay Kumar TAIL=PIECE An
Indian man walks into a bank in New York City and asks for the loan officer. He
tells the loan officer that he is going to India on business for two weeks and
needs to borrow $5,000. The bank officer tells him that the bank will need
some form of security for the loan, so the Indian man hands over the keys and
documents of new Ferrari parked on the street in front of the bank. He produces
the title and everything checks out. The loan officer agrees to accept the car
as collateral for the loan. The bank's president and its officers all enjoy
a good laugh at the Indian for using a $250,000 Ferrari as collateral against
a $5,000 loan. An employee of the bank then drives the Ferrari into the bank's
underground garage and parks it there. Two weeks later, the Indian returns,
repays the $5,000 and the interest, which comes to $15.41. The loan officer says,
"Sir, we are very happy to have had your business, and this transaction has
worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away,
we checked you out and found that you are a multi millionaire. What puzzles us
is, why would you bother to borrow "$5,000" ? The Indian replies:
"Where else in New York City can I park my car for two weeks for only $15.41
and expect it to be there when I return'" Ah, the mind of the Indian... This
is why India is shining Contributed by-V. Arunachalam I agree that
outstanding officers of central services should be given chance to work in the
Ministries when average IAS officersare given this chance all the time.Even today
there is a difference of four years between the selection of IAS officers and
other service officers to any post in the ministry from Dy Secy level onwards.Most
other service officers retire without becoming Addl Secy and very few have service
left at the time of becoming Secy.This injustice should stop and two years gap
even if it is unjust but since it has been accepted should be maintained strictly. D
K Chatterjee There are two ways to look at this matter. One is that these
officers are so smart that they have perfected the art of keeping the political
bosses in good humour. The other is that these officers are so good at their work
that the political masters of whatever hue they are want to utilise their talent.
I personally subscribe to the latter view. Exceptions may be there, but they do
not prove the rule. S P Singal Mr Suresh Shende, former Chairman,
Central Board of Direct Taxes, New Delhi has just returned to Mumbai from Gabon,
a French speaking West African country where he had gone on a United Nations Development
Programme's prestigious assignment as an International Economist. Mr Shende is
extremely fluent in French and Spanish, apart from English. Mr Shende had studied
in the Universities of Mumbai, Paris and Carnegie Mellon University, USA. Mr
Suresh Shende had earlier worked as an Interregional Adviser in Resource Mobilisation
in the United Nations, New York, USA from 1997 to 2003. Mr Shende belonged to
the Indian Revenue Service (Income-tax) of 1961 batch." Yamini Kaushal This
is regarding Animal Husbandory Department's calling CRs of some CSSS Cadre. I
would like to clear that that CSSS Cadre is now centralised under the Department
of Personnel & Trg (CS Division). It is really pity on the Government of India
that Steno Gr D of 1981 are yet to get first regular promotion of their life.
But this is not the fault of one Department or Ministry but the Government of
India. LDCs joined in 1978-79 have become SOs but Grade of 1975/76 are are nowhere
near that equivalent level of PS. Be united against this injustice of some vested
interests in GOI. For futher kindly get in touch with queries at csss.assn@gmail.com. the
only reason for the time lag appears to be the centralization of authority. I
understand that all purchases or bills exceeeding Rs 2 lac have to be sent to
Nirman Bhavan Nerw Delhi. Since the Addl Dir CGHS are SAG level officers they
should have the limits raised to Rs 10 Lac. However all such cases should be subjecte
to post audit to see if there is excessive claim and misuse of authority Dr
