Aaj Ki Aawaz

Laloo, Pawar and Paswan met Sonia and warned and pleaded!!!!!
Don't know whether their requests Sonia's heeded????
They first warned Sonia that their Parties and Congress would be binned in a pre poll!!!
And then they pleaded with Sonia that power was politics real goal!!!
Laloo, Pawar and Paswan should realize that that even if elections are held on time!!!!
They will not be voted back to power because they are covered with grime!!!!
123 Deal was positioned as an example of Congress's decisiveness and foresight!!!
And because of the dilly dallying Congress is now a pathetic sight!!!!
UPA is now perceived to be a weak Sarkaar,
A Sarkaar sitting with katora at Commie's dwaar (door)!!!
And when you realize that Commie stand on Nuke Deal is because they are pro Cheen!!!!
Imagine as what then UPA is seen!!!!
Imagine all these people are willing to sacrifice India 's future or kall!!!!
And 'dumping the Deal' is their solution or hull!!!!
I feel it's in BJP's kismet to ink this Deal!!!!
And in Congress's kismet laments ' humm se kiya BJP ne Deal steal'!!!!
Laloo went to the extent to telling Sonia that inking the Deal would mean facing Muslim ire!!!!
Taking cue from Commies Laloo said 'Muslims karre ge UPA ko dosti se fire'!!!
Laloo says he's not scared of an election but his body language is at odds!
And behind him you can see his Cutlery's nervous nods!!!!
Laloo knows the ground reality in Bihar !!!!
RJD ki pakki hai haar!!!!
Even Laloo's soothsaying cow has predicted Laloo's electoral doom!!!!
Nitish ke machi hai Bihar mein dhoom!!!!
If not earlier latest by 2009 Laloo will be without a job!!!!!
And then the Joker will sob!!!!
2009 would also see Laloo fighting a lot of cases!!!!
As you know many charges he faces!!!!
So now the ball is in Sonia's Court or the buck is on Sonia's table!!!!
What are Sonia's priorities … India 's future or keeping UPA stable????
Maybe Sonia will talk to Manu or Manmohan Singh!!!!
And order him… dump the Deal but 'saare jahaan se achcha' Manu should sing!!!!
Now let's see would Manu like to go down in history as a PM who's loyalty was distorted!
Did not care for the Nation and only being loyal to the Gandhi family he resorted!!!
' Khaaya peeya kuch nahi glass thodaa eight annas' apt description of Manu's stint!!!
Hope you've got the hint????
Okay he is honest but he 'broke our trust'!!!!
Because we expected for him India coming first was a must!!!!
Manu is a teeny-weeny island of honesty and corruption was rampant beyond this isle!
Such honesty sure does rile!!!!!
As usual PC and RBI are dithering on taking 'text book' steps on rising inflation!!!
In the meantime PCs working on inflation ka new definition!!!
Seems he cannot wear a suit in India so when he has the urge to wear a suit!!!!
To wear a suit he takes the overseas route!!
This time he went to Saudi Arabia to fulfill his suit urge!!!!!
And he had to say something there so he called for an Oil Price purge!!!
After a few photo opportunities he was back on the plane headed for Delhi !!!
Happy that he'd be seen suited booted demanding an Oil purge on Telly!!!
Speculation makes prices go up and eventually prices fall!!!!
But as long as speculation is there prices have a ball!!!
Oil prices are now having a ball and speculators are raking in dough (money)!!!
But forever this party cannot go!!!!
Now the bottom price of Oil has risen,
And to approximately $ 90-100 it has arisen!!!
Confucius says….. speculation is not a one way street and prices fall and rise and rise and fall!!!
That is why iss ko speculation karte hai call!!!
Flash: Eventually for spiraling inflation RBI has taken 'text book steps to be taken',
Though pretty late kiya hai RBI ne awaken!!
!RBI they say should ' keep the powder dry'!!!!
Because in the near future in oil economies will continue to fry!!!

Don't increase retirement age:
Hope, the government does not succumbs to this illogic decision. An increase in retirement age will only block the chances of promotion of yougsters and thus lead to more inefficiency in the system. Though Government may save temporarily some money from this; in the long run they have to pay more by way of increased pension and other benefits apart from another increase in two years salary. Already so many persons are waitlisted for allotment of quarters due to too much demand and inefficient working of Dte. of Estates and bungling. An increase of two years will again add to the problem of the persons who are dependent on Govt. accommodation. Mostly, persons coming from outside Delhi and particularly from South will be most affected. This may suit the localites and the ladies who are already enjoying this Government Service at others cost. We only believe the persons concerned with this in the Government will apply his common sense and retain the retirement age at the present 60 itself.

Increase retirement age before July 15

The retirement age had better be extended before 15 th July or else the Congress will lose the precious votes of all those babus retiring on 31st July. Every vote will now count for the Congress's survival. Also it is imperative for the government to accept and implement the 6 th Pay Commissions recommendations immediately or else the galloping tide of inflation will make all babus vote for BJP. Could it be that a section of the Congress is secretly delaying this on purpose so that the votes go to the BJP? Some senior Congress leaders are reportedly very unhappy with the selection of Rahul baba as the PM in waiting. They feel that as they belong to eastern India their chances might be better in a future coalition with the BSP and the BJP. Conspiracies have begun in anticipation of early general elections already. There are rumours of apartments being readied in Milan , Italy, and another 3 bedroomed apartment being readied in New York close to a Gurdwara.
