A Rs. 6000 crore stimulus package is on its way!!!!
This is the electioneering bill Political Parties will pay!!!
Quite a sizeable amount will reach 'ground zero' and will be disbursed in cash,
Also in kind like booze and hash (ganja etc.)!!!
Election paraphernalia, logistical support , communications , hospitality will gain!!
Money ki honne waali hai rain!!!
Unemployed youth will be gainfully employed!!
In various electioneering jobs they will be deployed!!!
IBN is back to its old tricks!!!!
Blows up some balloons and some balloons it pricks!!!
Its programme Billion Votes is aimed at creating a hype!!!!
Congress will be happy and BJP will gripe!!!!
Baba Logh Channels like IBN and NDTV are pro Congress out and out!!!
And always predict BJP's rout!!!
And in their predictions both Channels have been notoriously wrong time and gain!
One of the main reasons is their psephology is psephology of gain!!!
After their predictions are proved grossly wrong there is not a word from them on this!!!
Shouldn't they let us know why the mark by a mile did they miss??
My psephology says that Manmohan Singh will address India on this year's I-Day!!!!
Despite anti incumbency BJP will not be able to make Congress electorally pay!!!
BJP's infighting , Advani as PM, its lack of coordination will make BJP trip!!!!
Had these not been there Congress ko in the election BJP could rip (apart)!!!
I also feel Third Front cannot be written off!!!
Though at Third Front both Congress and BJP scoff!!!
This is the situation as of today and if things change I will inform you all!!!!
I'm just letting you know about the writing on the wall !!!
Rahul will not take over from Mohna now!!!!!
Yes midway in the next stint as PM Mohna could take the bow!!!
Then Rahul Baba could step in!!!!
But all depends on how many seats this time Congress will win!!!
If the dependency factor is higher than this time Rahul will not step in!!!!
Some Congressis say Rahul will take over immediately if on its own a majority Congress does win!!!
I don't think Rahul who is a greenhorn can become PM just like that!
He'll have to first wear a Ministerial hat!!!
Mulayam says that BJP could ally with SP!!!!!
So mortified is SP of BSP!!!!
Can Mullah Mulayam afford to do this????
Because his Muslim Vote bank from the present cooing will start to hiss!!!
And what about Kalyan who declared ' BJP ko karoon ga mein khalaas'!!!!
Seems Kalyan nahi aaya SP ko raas!!!!
Confucius says…… if BJP SP alliance goes through would love to hear Amar's excuse!
Via shayri and bollywood songs Amar will fib and abuse!!

Department of Personnel and Training, despite the instructions of Secretary (Personnel's) regarding doing away with the concept of ad-hoc promotion, does not seem to have taken any positive steps for regular promotions of the officers who are working on higher posts for more than 10 years, especially it is more pertinent about the regular promotions of the Stenographer Grade 'D' appointed on regular basis in 1981. Though prior to centralisation of ad-hoc promotions, individual Ministries/ Departments falling within the purview of CS Division of Department of Personnel and Training, have promoted their officials on ad-hoc basis in 1997. Since then, the officials are still working on ad-hoc basis as Personal Assistants (P.As.) (Stenographer Grade 'C') have been kept waiting for their regular promotions. Needless to say that such a long period service on ad-hoc basis is the main cause for concern. Department of Personnel and Training has worsened the situation by approving the status of ad-hoc service added another list of ad-hoc appointees in 1997. Instead, the Department of Personnel and Training should have first regularised their services from the date the officials were appointed as Stenographer Grade 'C' on ad-hoc basis.
Secondly, DP&T should give clear cut instructions to the cadre authorities concerned to deal with the cases eligible for ACP on the basis of the existing scheme as the new guidelines are yet to be issued by the DP&T. Moreover, the DP&T's instructions will be taken into account for prospective cases and not for retrospective cases.

It is a tough job for Mr Tomar. Despite a lot of expenditure, MCD is neither competent nor equipped to collect House Tax from the assessees-both commercial as well as residential. I am sure Mr Tomar comes with excellent credentials. If I were to file an applcation under RTI with his office about the arrears of house-tax about any property, including my own residence, Mr Tomar's office would be totally incompetent to answer it. Can he get MCD establishment to answer my question, and also raise the MCD revenue at least three-folds within two years that will be Tomar's challenge.

Commonwealth Games 2010- A Saga of Delay and Corruption!!!
As per media report (HT, Feb 18, 2009) several Commonwealth projects in Delhi are lagging behind the schedules. This calls for immediate intervention by the Acting PM as India's honour is at stake. Responsibilities must be fixed on defaulters. It needs to be investigated whether an "artificial emergency" was created by the Delhi Admn for getting extra funds to the tune of Rs. 1000 crores from the Planning Commission in the name of rush work, escalation in costs etc. If so, this is sheer blackmailing! Worse still, two Realty Sector Majors involved in these works have threatened to quit unless their existing contracts are re-scripted to provide for fiscal stimulus packages. This is another instance of blackmailing of Govt by the contractors to extort extra money for no extra work. It is noteworthy that these Realty majors are packed with superannuated or resigned senior bureaucrats who left the Delhi Govt under a cloud. Relevant records must be intact with the CBI and the Income tax deptt. The Civil Servants can make their own assessment about the possible nexus. The next Govt is expected to get a special statutary audit of total expenditure incurred by Delhi Govt on these projects. The CBI and the Income tax deptt. must also keep themselves ready.
