Aaj Ki Aawaz

Manmohan, PC, Montek trio were billed as the Dream team in Rao's cabinet!!!!
Then for some years kiya inn teeno ne hibernate!!
In Manmohan's Cabinet they came together again,
And now this team is billed as the Nightmare Team which delivered Indians pain!!!
PC had sold the oil price hike to Sonia saying that impact of hike would be minimal!!!
And now it's clear that effect has not been nominal!!!!
Because of the fuel hike inflation has shot up by two percent!!!!!
And into a tizzy the Aam Aadmi has been sent!!!!
Finance Ministry says that inflation is a mathematical inevitability!!!
Sonia should realize that this PC is a liability!!!
Now PC's fibbing and saying rate of increase is going down!!!
PC now means Palaniappan Clown!!!!
Montek too is in damage control and says inflation will come down!!!!
Not not only in Finance Ministry but also in the Planning Commission there's a clown!!!!
Yechury says Congress's marketing of the Deal is based on a pack of lies!!!!
Now he knows why Commie talk no one buys!!!
Just because the Deal is with USA Commies are saying ' just take and take',
And alleging that USA 's taken the cake!!!
Had this Deal been with Russia Commies would gave said ' give more give more'!!!!
And on India not giving more the Commies would have been sore!!!
All Deals have an element of give and take!!!!
And give and take is decided viewing what's at stake!!!
Why don't the Commies look at the Nuclear Deal that China has inked????
Hope indirectly they are not trying that with China's Deal and India 's Deal be linked!!!
Maybe they are angry that why is India getting a better deal!!!
And this now could be their real opposition to the 123 Deal!!!
Their aim could be that this Deal be binned and a fresh one negotiated!!!!
Hoping that by the next US Government on lines of Chinese Deal 123 Deal will be renegotiated!!
Despite Manu's ban PC and Deora are off to Saudi Arabia for Oil Ministers meet!!!
Oil Minister Conference mein will there be for India's FM a seat????
It's just a trip to show the Public that Government is trying!!!!
As on account of a spurt in inflation on account of oil Indians are literally frying!!!
OPEC will not even give these two jokers the time of the day!!!
And for this useless trip indirectly we Indians will pay!!!
Had there been the slightest chance of getting something Rahul Baba would have been sent!!!
Congress slogan would then have beeen ' things changed because Rahul Baba went'!!!!
Antony and Team conducted Congress's internal check!!!!
Committee report does not talk of reducing control by control deck!!!!
Report says candidates need to be decided well in time via surveys,
In selection of candidates a BJP kind of approach the report actually purveys!!!
But the report does not attack the actual malaise,
Lacking of inner Party Democracy malaise it does not raise!!!!
In fact many would say Report is just what the High Command expected!!!!
Maybe before the Report was submitted it was 'duly inspected'!!!!
Horrible news for Laloo from Bihar ,
News that confirms that in general election Laloo will face haar!!!!
More than 70% of Biharis are satisfied with Nitish Raaj,
And have expressed that with previous Sarkaar they are naaraaj!!
So by the looks of it Laloo's PM dreams have been trashed!!!
How can he become PM when in his own State he's crashed????
Confucius says…. You cannot fool all the people all the time!!!!
And if all the people get fooled all the time then it's the people's crime!!!!

Senior appointments in CBEC are being made arbitrarily
Senior appointments of Joint Secretary and Director in CBEC in Ministry of Finance are being made arbitrarily without circulating vacancies, preparing panel, selection process etc as per norms. This is being done selectively since recently they circulated vacancies for posts of anti-smuggling, review, cofeposa etc but not for the international custom etc. Please highlight this so that FM becomes aware through your esteemed website.

Sixth Pay Commission Says Rs.100/- =Rs.12830/-.
The Directors who are in the SAG but working on deputation in Central Government under Central Staffing scheme as Director and whose pay was fixed as 18300/- maximum of NFJAG, after opting the Proforma Promotions, are the worst sufferers. In earlier pay scale, the difference in basic pay was just Rs.100/- (18400-18300= Rs.100/-), but this 100 rupees difference has become now Rs.12830/- (52280-39450=12830/-). This is the greatest anomaly in the pay. So in the interest of such officers, the Pay Commission should review its decision. If the officers in the pay scale of Rs. 14300-22400 can be put in the pay band 4, then why not the Directors of SAG rank?

Inflation
The inflation has traumatized everyone except PC and Pawar, who have achieved the distinction of leading the inflation to the historic level. BJP should express gratitude to the PM for these capable Ministers to make their imminent ascending to the throne spontaneous and effortless. It is high time for the Congress, before it is too late, to introspect honestly rather than play politics with the aam aadmi (common man) and put blame on the State Governments or crude prices. The PM should ask his proficient Ministers to put in their papers immediately. If the PM has to shoulder the burden of these Ministers due to the so called 'coalition dharma' then aam admi should be given the opportunity to heave a sigh of relief by shifting them to some other Ministries where they are not in a position to give more sufferings to aam aadmi. If the crude is the backbone of economy and solely responsible for the present spell of inflation, then why the revenue on account of taxes on crude cannot be sacrificed for the national interest. Why to crucify aam admi for the ambitious number game of GDP.

CBDT , IRS, Carreer, Transfer etc
The transfer policy of IRS is unprecedented with no comparison within and outside country. Will it have natural death because of shortage of officers. Will the officers working in CBDT under CSS category to be held accountable for flouting DOPT norms. Better hand over cadre management of IRS to DOPT.
The cost of collection to be lowest in the world. Thanks to restructuring in the year 2000, no subordinate staff support to the officers who are asked to work without Gr D ,Driver, Tax Assistant and Inspector. Better merge CBDT & CBEC and remove all post retirement positions. Let each state have one CCIT and DGIT. Manage the cadre identifying Finance/Economic Offences posts in center and state to be encadred to IRS.
Revert back to the pre restructuring working mode with increased number of Joint commissioner Special range. Audit has already been reintroduced.

Officers in CBDT and CBEC
There are two type of officers in CBEC and CBDT. Good officers get good postings. Bad officers get bad postings. Similarly pay commission should also give good officers good pay and bad officers bad pay.

Retirement age
Truly speaking, there would be no dearth of divergent views with regard to raising of retirement age of govt officials. But if we look into this matter with a holistic and more realistic approach, even after leaving aside the aspects of better living conditions, longevity and employment, etc, a dispassionate analysis of the state of affairs would reveal a strong compulsion rather than any benevolence behind this predicament. With the inflationary pressures operating adversely more upon the salaried class, the economic conditions of lower and middle rungs (and especially in the govt at all levels because salaries have not been revised for the last more than one decade), the thing have really gone from bad to worse. In the present scenario, firstly the housing has become very scarce and expensive. Secondly, higher academic and professional education has become essential for our children to become well equipped for cut-throat competition in the job market. Thirdly, the living standards and aspirations of the present generation have gone up considerably; and then there are also the elementary kitchen expenses that keep on escalating every month. Thus, after providing for the housing, education, general and kitchen expenses, hardly any savings are left to take care of the remaining social and familial niceties. Even though one is able to make the both ends meet somehow or the other, the settlement of children in life (particularly the marriages of daughters) are the Damocles Swords dangling over the heads of fixed income groups; compulsorily necessitating arrangement of sizable finances through loans and advances from various sources, which refuse to get cleared before retirement at 60. In many cases, not even these basic responsibilities are over by this time due to late marriages and longer duration advanced studies undertaking by children. Nevertheless, even if one is lucky enough to have discharged his fundamental responsibilities and cleared the outstanding loans and advances from out of the meager retirement funds received on account of gratuity and commutation, etc, hardly any amount is left for post-retirement housing, living and social security needs. After vacating the rented/ government accommodation, the government officials (at any level) are virtually on the road, as with the measly amount in hand they find it extremely difficult to acquire even half of the entitled accommodation in the open market. Currently, even a Janata/EWS flat costs around 12 to 15 lakhs and a plain unfurnished two-room LIG flats comes around 20 to 25 lakhs; not to speak of the higher class MIG/HIG flats which the government officials cannot even dream about. Nowadays, who is left with this much of money after retirement to look out for even the smallest possible shelter? And yet, with what remains of the pension after commutation, etc, one has to pull on with this meager income for the rest of life facing even harder pressures of inflation day-by-day. Under these conditions, raising the retirement age of government officials by a couple of years would not have any serious impact in any manner, rather it would certainly prove to be wiser step socially, economically and politically as well; and our present day government is well equipped and better placed than any other government in the past to take such an extensively decision so swiftly. If the oil prices can be raised and 123 can be imagined despite enormous flake from various quarters, raising the retirement age of government officials by a couple of years is only a trivial administrative matter on which even the opposition, if any, will be much milder and others will be rather sympathetic keeping in view the welfare angle and ensuing elections
