While there is only one property of ITDC in profits and its reputation in tatters, the situation in the heart of Incredible India, namely Madhya Pradesh is just the opposite. Each and every single property of the state tourism corporation ( 57 profit centers ) is in healthy profits.

Aaj Ki Aawaz
BJP State Units sent in their reports on ' Why BJP lost'!!!!
And practically all said that for Advani being named PM BJP paid the cost!!!
The reports will be bypassed!!!!!
Only one or two that do not say this by the screening committee have been passed!!
Those Leaders who have spoken openly about a change at the top!!!
From the invitees list kiya gaya hai unn ko drop!!!!!
Though RSS says Advani should be retired!!!!!
A polite way to say ' Advani you are fired'!!!!
Really on the part of Advani this is besharmi ki hadd!!!!
And because of his recent antics he's reduced his kadd (stature)!!!
Some adhesive manufacturing company should use Advani's example in its ad campaign!
'His stickiness' is BJP's loss though for him its 'ghar and perks' ka gain!!!
It's Maya who is defrauding Dalits……wastage ka fraud!!!!!
Dalits weep from inside though in front of her they applaud!!!
After all they too can see the blatant statues ke lie paisa ka waste!!!!!
Their stomachs are aching and in their moths the statues have left a bitter taste!!!
Her ' Dalit ki beti' or 'we too can do this if Manuwadis can' is now waning!!!!
Barish ka koi naamo nishaan nahi only statues it's raining!!!
Maya's comments that Sonia's defrauding Dalits shows Sonia is getting through to them!
And this Maya desperately wants to stem!!!!
Speaking of Sonia…… if I were her I would be worried sick!!!
Swine flu and drought have on both ends of the candle lighted the wick!!!!
Now let's see how the Sarkaar redeems itself……it's made a bad start!!!!
And then Sarkaar has an Agri and Food Mantri who has made 'chai paani' into an art!!!
If Pawar remains in control it'll be like putting a hen pen in a wolf's charge!!!!
And what do you thing a wolf will do ….into the hen pen he'll barge!!!!
And very soon in the hen pen there will be only feathers all around!!!
Some way to keep Pawar the Mantri but only for namesake has to be found!!!
Why not appoint a GOM to tackle the drought???
Some technocrats can also be appointed to help out!!!!
I recall when AIDS first showed its ugly head some people said!!!!
It's an invention of a Pharmaceutical Giant and first humanity will be bled!!!
Then when all hope is lost the Pharmaceutical Giant will say ' we have a cure'!!!!!
Make mega trillions…..after all money is a big lure!!!
Mexico was the epicenter of Swine Flu but now its all quite in Mexico !!!
Did swine flu pack its bags from Mexico and go????
Our electronic Media are like hyenas and in Swine Flu they've smelt blood!!!
And now on our TV screens there is literally 'swine flu ka flood'!!!
GDP, IIP, Inflation etc., are all fudged .... tailor made to suit Sarkaar!!!!
If required the figures are fudged like saying ek plus ek is chaar!!!
Mohna being an economist knows that damage when fudging of data is done!!!!
The fight against rising prices or stagnating growth can never be won!!
Like today CNBC 18 says 'market ignores fantastic IIP data' ....and why?
Because market knows its just one more lie!!!
Confucius says..... be true to yourself don't fib or lie!!!
And whenever data is put out always ask ' how and why'!!!!
Adds.... never take Sarkaari figures for granted!!!!
Figures are fudged and info planted!!

Central services inter se competition
In the Forum column of Whispers, one sees continuous comparisons and competition amongst various central services like IAS, IFS, IPS etc. over various matters related to pay, postings, promotions, even relatively frivolous matters like empanelment etc. with each service trying to prove itself superior and more deserving than others . It s high time the bureaucrats realized that they are there to do a job in the service of the country and not to meet their self-serving goals. They have a more responsible role to play as their decisions and views affect the progress of the country. Lay people like me would certainly like to see these bureaucrats writing in these columns about which cadre is more superior than the others in terms of honesty, integrity, and commitment as well as competency and efficiency. The public is simply not liking their constant attempts to get a better deal from the tax payers' money. Let this be the clear message to them from the public, on the eve of the Independence Day.

Is this legal?
A certain dept in North Block, considers representations for postings but records only those that it wants to do. The ones that are not done are kept pending indefinitely so they are technically not rejected. I applied for copies of note sheet and was denied. Is this correct under RTI Act 1965?

Irregularity in allotments of plots & flats by NOIDA & GNOIDA
NOIDA & GNOIDA are not the only authorities implicated for corrupt practice and subsequent suspension of 3 IAS & 13 PCS officers by UP Government who were involved in the gory affairs. All such land allotment authorities are doing the same thing. Few years ago, DDA had been listed the most corrupt organ of the Government by Transparency International. It has surprised many to know from newspapers that that DDA's lottery, 2008 for allotment of almost 5,000 flats are in order. There are world famous statisticians in India who can check & verify what random technique of statistical rules has been used to select allottees. Has they ever been associated with such random selection procedure?.
It was reported earlier that there are 26 people with the same name and all of them have been allotted flats. Can any Statistician be convinced with this selection procedure? Are the Police engaged in this exercise are competent enough to judge the sampling technique used in selection of allottees?
There are eminent professors in Indian Statistical Institute at Kolkata, Delhi or Indian Statistical Service Officers working in Delhi. They could have been invited in the lottery to weed out such corrupt practices being perpetuated over decades.
If DDA accepts the results of the lottery, 2008 and allots flats then another corruption is going to be legalised. And it would boost the spirit of corrupt current & ex-employees like Meena's of DDA in allotting flats/plots in the name of their associates & relatives. Long live corruption in DDA!

CR dossiers of all eligible IRS officers be sent to DOPT
CR dossiers of all eligible IRS officers, who wish to get empanelled as JS be sent to DOPT rather than waiting for 1981 batch to get empanelled first. Irrespective of batch, if the CR dossiers are complete for an applicant officer, they should be sent to DOPT with vigilance clearance.

Vacancies of DIG for IPS
These DIG level vacancies have are there because the IPS officers are shy of joining the CPOs at this level because of tough living conditions and operational environment. They all want to stay in Delhi which is not possible. In fact a large no of vacancies in this rank have been transferred to cadre officers of these CPOs since 1993. So it is nothing new. The IPS will go only to those places where they can have good time.

A serious matter that indicates conspiracy against public
1. The Agriculture Minister alarmed the country by making a statement in Lok Sabha that sugar production was going to drop drastically.
2. A visit to the website of the Indian Sugar Mills Association on 4.8.2009, however, showed that the sugar situation was going to be comfortable. The reference of the webpage is :http://www.indiansugar.com/briefings/index.htm
3.As the statement of ISMA on the said page was not dated, a query was made on 4.8.2009 by email, seeking clarification on the same.
4. As no reply was received, a reminder was sent on 6.8.2009 and 7.8.2009. Kindly see both the emails attached.
5. Surprisingly, on the same day, i.e. 6.8.2009(GMT), the contents of the page were completely replaced by some other news item about release of 16.5 lakh tons of sugar by the centre in Aug. You may see the cached page by a google query which shows the cache snapshot as on 6.8.2009. (attached)
6. No reply is received to the email query till date.
7. This is very intriguing and serious as the matter is of utmost importance to the people.
8. It appears that there is a systematic effort on the part of the industry combined with concerned politicians to spread wrong information to the public otherwise there was no reason for ISMA to suddenly remove the sugar situation comfortable statement and replace it with another statement crediting govt. with release of sugar.
9. Unfortunately, the original page is no longer there on the website.
In greater public interest, it is imperative that the media investigates this matter thoroughly by confronting ISMA in the first instance and then following up with other investigations in the light of the findings.
This matter is being brought to your notice by an alert citizen and it is sincerely hoped that you will also respond as any responsible media should.
