Aaj Ki Aawaz
Sugar is touching Rs. 40/ kg and will go up more!!!!
During festive season sugar will give us reason to be sore!!
Sugar Baron Pawar is also Agri and Food and Civil Supplies Mantri....'office of profit'!!!
A lot of chai pani was and is being made and then from sugar mills also are making profit!
So Pawar ke paancho fingers are in ghee!!!!
And for all his chai paani and profit Aam Aadmi is paying the fee!!!
First his Ministry tactfully doubted that cheeni target would be met and banned export!!!
Then it falsely raised and alarm and allowed import!!!
In this import and export Sugar Mills and middlemen made a killing!!!
For the past 6 years their pockets shamelessly they've been filling!!!
Pawar has honed such manipulations into an art!!
They say when he becomes a Mantri he opens 'chai paa' ka mart!!!
It's rumoured there is a builder in Mumbai who in each of his Projects gifts Pawar a flat!!!
And there bound to be 'tit for tat'!!!!
Tit for tat……. Pawar has come on more than one occasion to his aid!!!
Like it was rumoured that he got wind that he was going to be raided and Pawar got the raid stayed!
It's rumoured the snazzy car that Pawar is driven about belongs to this builder!!!
So when Pawar declares he has no car and he drives about in a snazzy one no need to bewilder!!
Madam Sonia just by writing to Pawar to control sugar prices Congress cannot deflect blame!
Congress also shares part of the shame!!
UPA and UPA2 are taken to be Congress ki Sarkaar!!!!
So people blame Congress for mehengai ki maar!!!
Sea is not a place for statues so why are they wasting money on making a statue on the sea????
The wastage don' t they see???
Has the Maharashtra Sarkaar been bitten by Maya's statue bug????
Maya may now get a floating statue of hers made and a boat on Ganga karre gi statue ko tug!!!!
Just shows how far from reality our Netas are…… Alice's in Blunderland!!!!
Statues are made on land!!!
Okay Statue of Liberty is made on the sea….. Country of immigrants ki nishaani!!!
And immigrants came into USA sailing over paani!!
To show Shiv Sena down this sure is a humongously expensive way!!
And the 350 crores being wasted for a lot of poverty alleviation schemes will pay!!!
Jaswant has equated BJP to Klu Klux Klan or ruthless fascist henchmen!!!!!
Jaswant you've had your say with the pen!!!
By this statement I feel Jaswant is pleading for an invite from Congress!!!
You can say for an invite karr raha hai press!!!
After all he has to think about the career of his Beta!!!
Who also is a Neta!!!
Kulkarni says BJP should remove the H in Hinduvta!!!
Patriotism should be BJP's plank or Induvta!!!
Many moons back when the election were around the corner yours truly too had said the same!!
But then Advani's head was too swollen to listen to advice …. what a shame???
And post election he pushed BJP down the cliff by not owning up to the loss!!!
I hear he did write his resignation but then into the bin the letter he did toss!!
The trappings of Office ne kiya Advani ko trap…. Leader of Opposition!!!
To wiggle out ' Sonia does not resign if Congress loses' was his composition!!
Not a bad idea if RSS takes over BJP for some time and sacks the entire Leadership!!!
Back to their States karre BJP's present Leadership ko ship!!!
Then appoint new Leaders at the top and after some time let go!!!
Back to its old role RSS should then go!!!!
Now it's being said BJP did not need Chintan Baitak ….. kaya kalp is what it needs!!!!
Today a mauled BJP badly bleeds!!!
BJP is now an irresponsible Opposition much to UPA2's delight!!!!!!
Because 'Sarkaar's acts of omission and commission' are no longer in BJP's sight!!!
SC Judges after a marathon meeting have agreed to declare their assets!!!
Hope this message each HC CJ and Judge gets!!
Funny as it may sound….. justice has won!!!!
Battle that was being waged from within has been won….. internal guerrilla warfare was being done!
Some more on statues….. in Shimla there could be a new one….of Bhupinder Singh of Patiala!!!
Whose sex life was like a humongous peg de Patiala!!!
Farrouk Abdullah has given an idea to Dhumal…… Bhupinder in his own way fought the Brits!!!
He kidnapped the Viceroy's daughter and so as a freedom fighter he fits!!!
Scandal Point in Shimla is where Bhupinder Singh performed this ' act of patriotism'!!!
Though later he got himself off the hook fibbing a fit of autism!!!!
Confucius says….. for Abdullah this was a daring act!!
We tend to look at things with our priorities and moralities is a fact!!!
Adds..... Seems the statue 'swine flu' which afflicts Netas is spreading!!!!
Wastage of money India should be dreading!!!
Flash...... now Brajesh Mishra too says on IC 814 Advani was in the know throughout!!!
On this I don't think many had any doubt!!
Advani Ji karro resign... call it a day...... kursi ka moh tyaago!!!
After what has happened it'll be more appropriate to say.... bhago!!!

Creation of Pool justified
In government accommodation allotment, a pool has been created for those who join central government on tenure. I feel this is justified for those all India service officers who join central government for a fixed tenure. But this is exploited by central service officers like IES, IRS etc although they are full time central government employees and by no definition work for a fixed tenure. If they say that are transferred out of Delhi so are officers of other services like paramilitary services, intelligence related services etc.
Secondly, we all talk about inclusiveness of all in a democracy, but the criterion of determining priority for house allotment have been kept different for organised services like IAS,IRS,IES,ISS etc and other central government services so that exclusion of the latter from allotment of houses of category above Type IV could be ensured.
Is above classification not due to the fact that they are organised and have clout.

Truth Prevails
It is indeed invigorating to see that the Indian political class has taken to speak the truth now. Today the PM has acknowledged the truth about corruption. There remains nothing more for the average citizen to say more on the subject, since the Head of the Government himself has spoken. Results are bound to follow. Like the legend of Lord Krishna ignoring 99 offences of brother Shishupal, corruption has prospered in the grace of magnanimity so long. But so long only. Earlier truth has been spoken about Jinnah. Now several others are speaking similar truth. The GOI, It appears, that the truth on Jinnah would be revealed only when documents comprising truth of history in black & white are declassified. The truth about school education was recently spoken. So was the truth about the need for Hindi as the national language for national integration. Now the truth about the true picture of sugar, its availability, its stocks, its yield etc. has been spoken. So far only the miserable aam aadmi was crying but he was not believed. Now it has been publicly stated that the nation has been misled on the subject. So was the case with drought and perhaps( I missed the entire press narration or katha vaachan) cereals. Now it is an admitted fact that prices have not increased due to drought or dwindling stocks, but "otherwise'(a la the President on receipt of a report from the Governor or otherwise...can dissolve the assembly..).Such awakening of the conscience of the political class is bound to awaken the comatose conscience of the bureaucracy to action as sanctioned by the law. So long as the law itself causes no impediments, the bureaucracy shall move fast as directed by the PM--the Director CBI has been quite outspoken on it.
This love for truth is going to revolutionize the administration in India. We have seen the way bureaucrats used to treat the elected representatives till 1980 and the way the elected representatives started treating the bureaucrats thereafter. The corrupt bureaucrats have corrupted far too many elected representatives for too long and the elected representatives have by now learnt their modus operandi, they are going to reign the errant bureaucrats, who have successfully sabotaged the rule of law so far. Therein lies the sudden urge for Truth. So I am convinced the love for truth will change very soon the shape of public administration in India. Take the PM seriously this time. He means business. His business is our business too. After all we only want clean & transparent administration. Well, Sir, you move in this direction and you will see the nation follows you.
Shakespeare said it all: Isn't The Truth The Truth!

IAS in Rajasthan.
Ashok Gehlot, one of the best chief Ministers in India today, deserves all commendations for appointment of RAS officers as collectors in Rajasthan. Not that RAS are any better than the IAS but for the first time we have been given to see that world does not come to an end when there is no IAS around! The politicians have thought out of box, that is a great change as far as Rajasthan is concerned.

Bureaucrats obsessed only with their salaries, perks & benefits
Going through the Forum in Whispers, one is constrained to observe once again that the bureaucrats seem to be obsessed only with their salaries, perks, benefits etc. Again and again, various bureaucrats are writing their grievances with respect to their emoluments etc. Why do not they convey their problems to the appropriate authorities through proper channels? Apparently because they know themselves that most of what they want cannot be justified. It seems that they must be hardly finding time to do the work they are paid to do. With such an unconcerned lot, the country can hardly progress.
