FORUM

DoPT should come forward
Where "VERY GOOD" is the benchmark for promotion to a rank and an officer has been graded GOOD in the feeder cadre it must be communicated to the officer reported upon b'cause it will certainly affect the carrier of the officer. DoPT must come up with needful guidelines to safeguard carrier of the honest and committed officer from communal, prejudiced and casteist hawks present in plenty in government services.

Credit should nor go to the IRS only
IRS contribution to collection of record revenue is plain exaggeration. The truth is that Indian Tax payers have responded to the rationalisation of tax rates and the fact that a growing economy has contributed to the increase in collection. What was the contribution of IRS when rates were high and majority of IRS officials were making money by indulging in corrupt practices. Today even if you outsource the entire tax collection , the revenue would keep on rising. Increasing computerisation and introduction of PAN number for tax payers has played a vital role in increasing tax revenue. All services are contributing in their own way including defence services and it is high time that such arrogance is shunned.

Services are being downgraded
Is there anything called competency when the whole service is being downgraded at all levels? And should we expect leaders from such a service for this country's security forces and police?
Ashwani

It's a valid point
Meenakshi has noted a valid point and now Pers. Min has taken limited corrective action, by authorising the DPC to change "Good" to "Very Good" if the controlling officer has done wrong.

Closure of British Library
I feel quite bad over the closure of Bhopal based British Library.I think all students wings of different political parties could have saved it from being closed if each student would have contributed Rs.10 for saving the library.Unfortunately,none what soever came forward to do so.

Aaj Ki Aawaz

Manmaohan ji bhool gaye ke aap ne kya bolaa thaa!!!
'If Nuclear Deal does not go thru it's not the end of life' aap ne tha kahaa!!!

So before you ask Vajpayee to cooperate on the Deal look at your own flip flops!!!
Till recently you were least bit bothered if the Deal cops (slang for dies)!!!

You challenged Commies and when they barked you rolled over!!!
And indicated publicly that Deal was over!!!

But seems Manmohan suffers from amnesia … the convenient kind!!!
At times he simply cannot rewind!!!

Manmohan Ji Congress ka Haath humm ne hai aazmaya!!
Mukka aur thapad iss Haath se humm ne hai khaaya aur inept many times hai payaa!!!

Manmohan wants BJP's Bhishma Pitta to step in!!!
Has the permission to say this because when he said this High Command karr rahi thi grin!!!

BJP's got a Bhishma Pitta but Congress's got a High Command running the show!!!!
Apni aur Congress ki weaknesses kyon karta hai Manmohan show???

And Manmohan Ji no doubt Farmers are India 's pride!!!
Sad thing is that too often they have been taken for a ride!!

Congress could not come up with ideas to improve farming so it gave the waiver lollipop!
This was done with the objective that till polls farmers moaning will stop!!!!

Congress knows inflation is bound to rise sharply by mid year!!
And this could affect Congress in elections is Congress's fear!!!

Congress is bankrupt on ideas to control inflation so it's used a lollipop!!!!
In Indian Middle Class's mouth via IT slab fiddling kiya PC ne kiya lollipop pop!!

This Budget is an attempt to put on wounds Band- Aid pe Band - Aid ,
For temporary relief because of elections this Budget has been tailor made!!!

Congress has broken so many promises that we've even lost count!!!
Promise us the sky when the Dilli ki gadhi they want to mount!!!

That's why they say Congres ka haath apne saath!!!
After getting power Congress uses haath for itself and we get the laath!!!

Seems from Sonia Deshmukh got a verbal lashing!!
She wanted him to react to Thackrey Uncle and nephew's Bhaiya bashing!!

Deshmukh is of the opinion that arresting Balasahib would bring Mumbai to a boil!!!
It'll be like pouring on the ongoing fracas oil!!!

Pawar too is in agreement with Deshmukh and wants no action to be taken!!
He too has told Sonia a troublesome ogre arrest of Balasahib would awaken!!!

Yes Court could issue a gag order on the Uncle too!!!
Ban anything anti Bhaiya via his pen or mooh!!!

S.M Krishna wants to become Congress's 'Rustome Karnataka Dara Singh'!!!
Ex CM Dara Singh is trying that out of the ring ho jaye Krishna fling!!!

Breakfast, Lunch, Tea, Dinner and Snacking meetings are taking place!!!
Part of Karnataka's Congress says that Krishna has lost his base!!!

Gowda too between his naps talks about Krishna 's return!!!
Turned abs grumpy when about Krishna 's return kiya tha Gowda ne learn!!!

In Punjab Amrinder wanted his attending Assembly to be a grand affair!!!
Whereas both Akalis and his own Party said 'As if we care'!!!

Insiders say Junior Badal is now itching to sit on Punjab 's throne!!!!
To regular flights of fancy Junior is prone!!!

His pals say he'll corporatize Governance in Punjab and Junior's started a PRO drive!!!
Recently in a 'friendly' India Today article this point the article tired to drive!!!

Indian team is back and hope they keep in mind,
That we Indians in a minute turn kind and in a minute we become unkind!!

In a jiffy we enthrone,
And in a jiffy we dethrone!!

Kashmir Singh should thank whoever gave him the Kashmir naam!!!
Its his name that did the kaam!!!

Had his name not been Kashmir he would have rotted in jail!!!!
Don't think Mush even heard his or his family's wail!!!

Oil prices have shot up and the same oil has to do!!!!
When black gold goes up yellow gold goes up too!!!!

Oil prices are rocketing on account of speculative deals,
Let's see how with rising oil prices Government deals???

Confucius says… PC needs to put on his thinking hat,
Any rise in Indian oil prices will spurt inflation and put Aam Aadmi on the mat!!!
