Jaswant Singh ki ho gayi chutti for his book!!!
But when Advani praised Jinnah the same step BJP never took!!
Advani should be given a 'sacking letter duly backdated'!!!!
Reason …. in Pakistan on Jinnah for what he stated!!
Double standards…. is what many will say!!!
If Jaswant has to pay for Jinnah's praise then same price Advani should pay!!!
By sacking Jaswant and not sacking Advani BJP's made of itself a laughing stock!!
On this double standard sabh karrenge BJP ko mock!!
RSS has made it clear …. Advani please hand over charge to a young Neta!!
Seems Advani wants to continue till he can handover charge to his Beti or Beta!
In Shimla tourists and locals joke…. BJP is here because 'it got too hot in Dilli'!!!
And soon they'll run back to Dilli saying in Shimla 'things got too chilly (cold)'!!!
There is no camaraderie amongst Genext Leaders in BJP…. ambition is rife!!
In their gobs all carry 'to cut the other down to size a verbal knife'!!!
BJP is now Bekaar Jhagdaloo Party…... totally lost it and now infighting is rife,
In BJP all you get to see is strife and more strife!!
A disciplined Party is the most undisciplined Party today!!
And in a way Advani has shown the way!!
Had he taken responsibility for BJP's loss by now BJP would have been on the mend!!
But Advani ne into the dumps BJP ko kiya hai send!!
I agree with Jaswant Singh 'BJP ko power be kiya tarnish'!!!
Some thought the five years out of power would act like varnish!!
But the rot has really gone very deep!!!
At BJP haalath die hard supporters of BJP weep!!!
Jaswant says from Hanuman he became Raavan for BJP.... what did he do to the tail!!
Hope the tail does not do to BJP what Hanuman's did to Lanka as per the tale!!
Pawar continues playing his tricks...... in the end its all about chai pani!!!!
Really this dolt ne 'yaad karra di humm ko humaari Nani'!!!
And I'm surprised about BJP's total silence on Pawar's 'chai pani'!!!
Or does Advani take Pawar to be his 'Jaani' (pal)????
Even when Air India placed that humongous order on Boeing!!!
From BJP there was no booing!!!
What was Naresh Goyal's hold with BJP that Tata - Singapore Airlines called it a day??
And had Tata Singapore Airlines taken over AI then AI would not see this day!!!
Today AI's broke and is begging for a bailout!!!
Had Tata Singapore Airlines taken over AI … AI would not be in dire straits without a doubt!
This sob story that AI has to ply on 'loss making routes' is one big lie!!!
Many International Airlines on low income routes do fly!!
And I'm sure Tata and Singapore Airlines would have innovated to cover up the loss!!
First thing this JV would have done was to appoint a Airline Man as the Boss!!!
Congress has asked MPs to take salary cuts for drought relief!!!
They should be asked to deposit 20% of chai pani to make a real difference is my belief!
Confucius says…. We know that salary is just pittance for many of our Netas!!!
Do you think on an MPs salary they can give such a lifestyle to their betis and betas????
Adds... like look at Laloo..... money flowed like water!!
On the shaadi of his pehli aur doosri daughter!

Proposals to reduce clogging in Courts of law:
1. All cases which have been going on in lower courts for 20 years or more against citizens older than 65 years on date may be allowed to abate except murder and rape charges.
2. An All India Judicial Service may be created to man posts of Additional District Judges and above.
3. Limitation may be built into all laws in India. In case limitation is over in any particular case the case may abate.

New way to earn money by Public Sector Enterprise
Bosses of Public Sector Enterprise have carved a very smart way to flaunt CVC tender policy. They are taking work from government sector on distribution basis and giving it to private players on back to back basis and earning good kickbacks.

Is IAS so important ?

Suhas Joshi
New Health Secretary ?
K Sujatha Rao is a good choice considering her 2 decades of experience ( although many would feel she is not a fresh face and has just 1 yr to retire) . Another 74 batch officer is Jalaja ( who is senior to Sujatha Rao and has 2 yrs to retire) also working in Ministry of Health ( Secretary AYUSH). She was MD NRHM and has the requisite background understanding ( many would consider her too soft for such a difficult ministry). The third candidate could be Deepak Gupta, Secretary MNRE again from 1974 with 2 years to retire. He too has more than a decade of health experience ( a tough guy and perhaps best suited for all the lumpen and inefficient elements; level of tolerance is less hence may not be acceptable to some).

Manpower crunch in the India's Foreign Service
This is regarding manpower crunch in the India's Foreign Service. If the figures quoted are correct, then we certainly need a correction and immediate remedial measures. In case India does not take any immediate action, the day is not far off when smaller countries will surpass us in all fields including the Economic Diplomacy and India's dream of Global power would be shattered. In addition to this, I would suggest if this forum is opened to discussion on what improvements can be made to improve India's Foreign Service. This subject must be discussed in your forum and suggestions invited from the general public too.
