Please be fair................................(Print from origin : whispersinthecorridors.com ).
Your information on different postings and reshuffling in the government is very correct mostly. But it seems CSS Babus are only your source of information. But for director Officers of Civil Services, these CSS Babus think as if they are running the Government. They have all rights to boast about their poor working but how can they write about PS/PPS/SrPPS. CSS Babus are only fed from LDC/UDC/Asstts. and now they have managed a good hold in CS II Section and getting their people promoted very fast. And they claim that Central Secretariat is run by CSS. Private Secretaries or senior PPS on the other hand working with top level Secretaries and Additional Secretaries and Joint Secretaries are Managing their offices, a lot of files, all VIP telephone calls, gather information, arrange appointments and meetings and then manage their personal things also. Is their any comparison of their working with CSS. Why these PPS/Senior PPSs should not be designated as OSDs or Under Secretaries and Deputy Secretary. To work with a Secretary or with an Additional Secretary is a challenging job. The power behind the efficient functioning of top offices is the power of CSSS. But why it is not acknowledged properly. Whisper must do the responsible job of highlighting their indispensable role in the Central Secretariat functioning

Waiting for Pay Commission report
There was some news in your site regarding the new pay scales of the 6th Pay Commission. Though the scales were on the higher side, still it lit a ray of hope among the central government employees. After that there was no news. Kindly keep us updated about when the report is going to be announced and about the authentic scales we would be.

Do not forget Ram Mohan Rao............................(Print from origin : whispersinthecorridors.com ).
Much has been written about the simplicity of Kamal Pandey. There are at least a few more in this category. And definitely EN Ram Mohan an IPS Officer of the A&M Cadre who retired as DG, BSF is best known for his simplicity and honesty. A person who stayed in a Type V quarter, though entitled for higher type, whose wife goes walking to the market to purchase provisions or who used to wear the old khaki cotton trousers as part of his uniform or even travelling in two wheelers.
An officer who volunteered to serve in the trouble torn J&K at the peak of terrorism also goes to his credit. But it these officers who really take the administration in the right stride.

Goa case must be handed over to CBI
Attempts by Goa Police to hush up rape and murder of fifteen year old British girl Scarlette Keeling in Goa by treating it as a case of accidental death due to drowning by ignoring vital evidence in the shape of injury marks on her body and contradictory versions about her autopsy are all indicative of deep police- criminal- politician nexus. This perception is further strengthened by fresh efforts of Goa police to get ossification test done so that incase Scarlette Keeling is proved to be more than 15 years of age , rape can be converted into case of 'consensual sex' and if less than 15 years ,then a case can be foisted on her mother for her failure to take care of her child. This type of justice system will bring shame to the whole nation and countrymen. All efforts made by GOI and crores spent on promoting India as tourist destination by undertaking numerous foreign junkets by ministers etc. are bound to get nullified if some immediate corrective steps are not taken . This case must be immediately handed over to CBI in deference to the wishes of mother of Scarlette Keeling to book the murderer/rapists involved.

V Malhotra's opinion on PS/PPs/Sr.PPs.
All the lower staff agree with his opinion. But the main culprit is Department of Personnel who have not issued any order about their duties nor they have issued any instructions saying that PS/PPS/Sr.PPPs are responsible for late sitting in assisting the senior officers and not the lower staff. Even the administration of respective Ministry sleep over this though they are aware of this. When the 6th Pay Commission Report is going to be implemented, these persons are going to get more pay - enjoy and continue to be same as now until something is done and the poorer lower staff may remain where they are - This is real exploitation.

Where are we heading for ?..........................(Print from origin : whispersinthecorridors.com ).
The mutual contempt, ridicule and recriminations that surface in this column are symptomatic of a deeper malaise within our democratic polity. However, the system transcends our vile egos and petty concerns. The impressive though not inclusive strides taken by the nation despite the internecine conflicts among the supposedly creme-de-la-creme is a pointer to the reality of other unrecognized forces-both natural and human-at work. The GDP and the taxes that emanate from it is the productive outcome of the relentless toil of the millions of masses. However, the sweeping generalization with which particular sections, both in the political and bureaucratic establishment, unabashedly claim credit for it makes one wonder whether life is really so simple with cut and dried solutions! At the same time, it is a reiteration of our eagerness to forever amass and accumulate than to realize and utilize. The so called exalted status of a minuscule proportion of the population notwithstanding, all seem to suffer from inexplicable fears and a feeling of gross insufficiency within. Courage, conviction, trust, camraderie, institution building, leadership, reaching out, noblesse oblige....which are the traditional hallmark of the organic growth of systems are seldom in evidence in the existing milieu. We seem to have adopted adversary positions in the extreme rather than joining hands in a collaborative mode. In the craven race for one-upman-ship by belittling our brethren and letting down everyone in the process, where have we come to? And where are we heading for? Issues ranging from foeticide to infanticide to homicide to suicide to the murder of democracy in various forms stare us in the face. However, we are content in our dark dungeons hitting out at each other in the dark and hoping for the Budget and/or the Pay Commission to provide a panacea for the systemic ills!

I agree with Mr Malhotra
I agree to Malhotra. This is fact that they are doing a little job in Govt. Establishments. It is also true that what Stenos and PAs are doing in Govt. Offices, in comparison a better performance has been shown by the temporary DEOs for just Rs. 4000-5000/- per month. The cadre of Sentos and PA must be declared as dying cadre instead of LDCs and UDCs.

..................................(Print from origin : whispersinthecorridors.com ).........................................................

Kindly note be it GDP or inflation figures both will come with a footnote!!
Footnote will have PC's Vani and this Indians are 'ordered' to take note!!!

Industrial output has fallen by half but PC has issued his gung-ho Vani,
After all his boasts PC ko honaa chahiye paani paani (embarrassed)!!

Companies are issuing downturn warnings saying earnings will fall!!!..........(Print from origin : whispersinthecorridors.com ).
But somehow our FM refuses to take the call!!!!

He's still optimistic and says things will improve!!!
With every passing day PC galath ho rahaa hia prove!!!

Stocks will continue the downward trend and there is a risk aversion flu!!!
But seems our FM does not have a clue!!!

Recent developments have taken the hawaa out of PC boasts!!!
And in the Budget 'lucky' PC was raising for himself verbal toasts!!!

Unemployment and inflation are on the rise and growth is in decline!!
Stagflation in Indian economy ka yeh sabh hai sure-shot sign!!!

Inflation….. veggie ,oil prices, textile prices are up and soon rice will rocket!!!
Inflation will make an even bigger hole in Aam Admi's pocket!!!

Rahul must realize that Public will throng to see him,....................(Print from origin : whispersinthecorridors.com ).
Some forced and some as per their own whim!!!

But crowds do not convert into votes!!!
Hope this point Rahul Baba notes!!!

This could be his Discover Yatra's discovery that crowds don't mean votes!!!!
Crowds don't mean vote bank bloats!!!!

Actually you can compare his Yatra with the movie ' Baby's day out'!!!!
Baby sorry Baba thinks he's helping Congress out!!!!

Its now official that only 22% loans taken by Farmers are Bank loans!!!
Under loans from other sources Farmers still keep letting out moans!!!

Seems this waiver was an emergency measure and not discussed threadbare!!!!
Because this loan waiver hardly karre gi farmers indebtness pare!!!

Why wasn't Manmohan the economist consulted?????
Because then a more pragmatic waiver would have resulted!!!

On Manmohan….. 'He's a modern day Aurangzeb' is what BJP says!!!
BJP says this because the minority card Congress plays!!!....................(Print from origin : whispersinthecorridors.com ).

What rankles BJP is Manmohan saying, 'Muslims have first right on Sarkaar's resources'?
And the order for him to say this came from Congress's Rani as per sources!!!

Maybe this could prove to be Congress's undoing!!!
Because this could get the Hindu majority booing!!!

Come election and BJP will show Hindus Congress's anti Hindu stand!!!
And if its able to get the message through Congress ka aur bhi bajje ka band!!

In the meantime BJP should speak on how it plans to make development inclusive!!!!
And ask Muslims that what have they got with Congress treating them as exclusive???

Remind them that Congress wants to keep them huddled and befuddled!!!!
That's why its got Muslims all muddled!!!

As usual BJP is made to be the baddie whereas Congress is the real bad one!!!!
On the ground for Muslims what has Congress done?????

And remember Congress has been in power the most!!!.....................(Print from origin : whispersinthecorridors.com ).
So it's easy to see Congress's empty ' we've done the most for Muslims' boast!!!

Ronen Sen of the 'headless chicken' fame says N Deal is on!!!
Commies will cry that beyond his brief he's gone!!!

India's Ambassador says N Deal is on and PM is seen twiddling his thumbs!!!
Such stupidity sure numbs!!!

They say Sonia is going to give her take on the N Deal,
Queen Bee of Congress will buzz to let us know on the Deal kya karti hai woh feel!!

Will she stand in front of Marx's statue like Yechury does when he speaks to the Press?
And in a Mao suit will she may dress???.....................(Print from origin : whispersinthecorridors.com ).

This Government sure does flummox or astound,
But the good thing is after a year its not going to be around!!!

Confucius says….For a Country a Government that cannot decide is bad!!!!
When Sarkaar puts power before Country's good then rest assured Country's been had!!!
