Aaj Ki Aawaz

ND Tiwari had a reputation to ‘romp in the hay’!!!
Good he was ordered by High Command to show himself  from Guv House bahar ka way!!!
Though it’s funny that Congress Spokesmen say he did so (resign) morally!!!
Funny but the reason he resigned was because he had acted immorally!!!
Resignation reason given by Tiwari,
‘ Ill health or bimaari’!!!
I feel his bimaari was at his age his testosterone levels were abnormally high!!!
Or maybe his sex drive was induced... it needs to be verified if with Viagra age he did defy?
Now UPA has one more Governor slot to fill!!!
And in AP they’ll get a Congressman who will follow 'to the T ' Sonia’s will!!
Congressmen follow her will but she knows ' obey to the T' what's meant!!!!
Only such a Neta to AP as Guv will be sent!!
AP is now politically a tinderbox with Telegana and Jagan queering things up!
AP now has a overflowing woes ka cup!!!
There is no doubt whatsoever that on the suicide abatement charge Rathor was let off!!!!
At CBI's pussyfooting even the Judge at that time did scoff!!
Now Government says case will be re-investigated!!!
But tell me for CBI's dubious role 'will the investigator also be investigated'???
Hooda’s finally spoken!!!
Seems finally hearing the din on 'justice getting molested' in Ruchika's case he’s awoken!!
Some say despite the din he slept on!!!
Because by Venod Sharma some deft cupping of Hooda's ears was being done!!
And my request to the Media is on this grave injustice do not relent!!!
If Media relents onto the backburner this issue will be sent!!
Rathor and his wifey are banking on this matter ‘fading out as all matters do’!!!!
They feel for how long will the people and Media boo!!
Though God has HIS ways to make us pay!!!
Had Rathor not smirked and smiled shamelessly he may have even got away???
Manu got parole unfairly and got into a tiff in a nightclub and that too with Dadu’s son!!
Otherwise his parole would have been questioned by no one!!
We often forget HE has is ways!!
And he ensures that for our deeds each one of us pays!!
Advani some time back had called Soren’s presence in UPA a disgrace!!!!
And now BJP by allying with Soren has ‘lost face’!!
Congress refused to make his CM but BJP agreed!!!
Now with what face will BJP boast ‘we are different political breed’????
But then now shamelessness is a trait that BJP has recently honed!
Now BJP's adopting the same practices that some time back it stoned!!
Sushma and Jaitley on BJP supporting Soren are churning out excuse pe excuse!
BJP can do all the defending it wants to do but it’ll be of no use!!!
You’ve heard a first class cricket match being called off on account of rain????
This would be first time a match has been called off as the pitch was proving to be a pain!
Kotla match was called off as pitch was unplayable!!!!
Will the Commonwealth Games facilities be 'playable'????
By the looks of it many complaints of ‘substandardness’ will be made during the Games too!!!
There will be for India loss of mooh!!!
By the looks of it quality of work is poor and will make India loose face!!
Quality is being sacrificed as to complete the work there is a race!!
Mohna ji economics is not a dismal science but in India its the science of 'understating or exaggeration'!!!!
People like Montek and sometimes you use it to fool the Nation!!
Cooked up figures are used,
And principals of economics are blatantly abused!!!
Predictions are made to befool!!!
And for this economics is used as a tool!!
Confucius says….We have some economists who blend economics and politics!!!
This is called political economics!!!
Adds... classical example is Montek who is a Neta in a Bureaucrat's clothes!!!
These attempts to help the political Masters is what Confucius simply loathes!!

Rahul Gandhi is a gem of youngsters
Rahul Gandhi is a gem of youngsters who is not only honest but also an intellectual with his chemistry full of helping poorest of the poor people and having desire to see the country on front range in the global powers. I wish Rahul all the best from the bottom of my heart and so to his affectionate mom and sis.

Politicians should not be made Governors
The episode that led to the resignation of N.D. Tiwari as AP Governor raises many questions about the way the Governors are selected. Some like Bharadwaj were selected for the dog like devotion they showed to the Supreme Commander of Congress. Bharadwaj is reportedly one who helped in quashing Quottrochi case. He also, as a law minister, reportedly had his hand in the selection of many undeserving characters into higher judiciary. He is sent to Karnataka to screw up BJP Government there.

Ruchika's suicide is due to bureaucratic failure!!!
Venkat's observations (27th Dec) are an affront to Ruchika's family by restricting the suggested boycott of the Rathor to the IAS fraternity! This class alone is not the conscience keeper of the Civil Services. These observations are unpardonable as Ruchika and her family have suffered enough due to the failure of Indian bureaucracy, both in Haryana and at the Centre led by the spineless IAS coterie. This includes the then Home Secretary and Chief Secretary of Haryana. How could a corrupt DG (Police) take the whole governmental bureaucracy for a ride for seventeen years and with such impunity? Worse, what is the rationale of the GOI issuing a Show Cause notice to Rathore for seeking stoppage of his pension, after his conviction by the Court? No opportunity, in the given situation, should have been afforded to him, invoking the principle of Equity and Natural justice, after his judicial conviction? Rathore is bound to deny the charges. Then a departmental inquiry will be conducted followed by a charge sheet containing articles of charges for which he has already been convicted by the Court! Double jeopardy! The GOI, ostensibly, is still not sure of its stand. It is confused. On the contrary, the CBI is reportedly approaching the Court for enhancement of the existing six month's sentence. Why is the GOI giving a stick to Rathore to beat itself with? No time should be given to Rathore for again pulling political strings in getting a stay from the court on the present sentence or even stoppage of pension. Against this background, there is a strong case for total societal boycott of Rathore and several others of that ilk! We may, perhaps, have many more surprises of this kind in the coming year2010.The latest and, hopefully, the last scandal of 2009 to hit the headline involves a greater celebrity: His Excellency, the Governor of Andhra Pradesh whose sexploits were well known to the IB for decades. The GOI would be well advised, to first get IB's clearance before making such political appointments, in future. Our country cannot afford such Clintons! Enough is enough!

Is whispers ready to give a hand to honest officers in exposing corruption in bureaucracy? Somehow it does not seem so.
