Sonia must be in a quandary on who she'll appoint as the caretaker PM!!!
Mohna is scheduled for a bypass and she's on the lookout for a PM GM!!!
Had Shivraj been in the Cabinet Sonia would have chosen him!!!
But now with Shivraj's unceremonious exit Sonia cannot exercise this whim!
This GM or General Manager must be loyal and unambitious!!!
Pranab's name is doing the rounds but he's shown in the past he's disloyal and ambitious!
PMO's too searching for a surgeon who can do a bypass with Mohna in full hosh!
Because Mohna would have to hand over charge if during surgery he's behosh!!
After surgery then Mohna will be the titular head and Sonia will run the show!!
'She's been doing this in a way' say people who are in the know!!
If Congress returns to power Mohna will be PM and Rahul will be the Deputy PM!!!
In actuality Deputy would run the show and Mohna would be his GM!!!
And then midway Mohna would 'retire hurt' or 'retire sick'!!!!
To succeed him Congress Deputy PM ko karre gi pick!!
But and a big but because to get to power Congress will depend on Allies!!!
And seems in the extent of dependence any PM and DPM permutation lies!!!
Also please do keep in mind Mulayam and Pawar have PM dreams!!!!
And they will drive a hard bargain… so it seems!!!
They've already shaken hands under the table!!!
And Pawar ko PM in waiting kiya label!!!
As election nears Third Front will look more and more possible!!!
Sometime back Third Front's chances looked impossible!!!!
Pawar has also left the door open with Shiv Sena!!
And could ally with Sena with some lena and dena!!!
And then this Alliance would be part of NDA!!!!
For power Pawar can do anything they say!!
One thing is for sure in this election political parties stand on shifting sands!!!
Don't know in the end with which Party which Party lands!!!
If I were a overseas Stock Analyst on India I'd have sounded the alarm bell!!!
Which way the Camel is going to sit no one can tell!!
If Third Front comes to power and Commies are an ally!!!
Out of India money will fly!!
If Congress has to depend on Commies again!!!
Then on the economic front there's going to be a lot of pain!!
Though Commies have vowed not to support Congress again!!!
All vows will be broken for power gain!!!
Confucius says….. So for India it's important that Commies loose seats!!!!
Defeat Commies if for India your heart beats!!!!
Flash.... Pranab Da will officiate as PM!!!
And he'll behave himself hoping that Sonia will next time appoint him as PM GM!!!!
Take it from Confucius Pranab Da will sooner or later show the real Pranab Da!
And Rahul will cry out ' What did you do Ma'!!!!

Non- Communication of ACR Grading is Arbitrary & Unconstitutional
As per Para 19 of Hon'ble Supreme Court's order dated 12.5.2008 in Civil Appeal No. 7631 0f 2002, every entry in the A.C.R. of a public servant must be communicated to him within a reasonable period, whether it is a poor, fair, average, good or very good entry. This is because non-communication of such an entry may adversely affect the employee in two ways : (1), Had the entry been communicated to him he would know about the assessment of his work and conduct by his superiors, which would enable him to improve his work in future (2), He would have an opportunity of making a representation against the entry if he feels it is unjustified, and pray for its upgradation. Hence non-communication of an entry is arbitrary, and it has been held by the Constitution Bench decision of this Court in Maneka Gandhi vs. Union of India (supra), that arbitrariness violates Article 14 of the Constitution. The DOPT must issue guidelines to all the Ministries and Departments at the earliest in the public interest.

Satyam fraud exposure was due to India's subprime crisis
Had subprime crisis not happened in the US, there would not have been world wide cash crunch and fall of shares and real estate price. This fall happened in India also and it caught Ramalingam Raju unaware. His plan was that he will buy real estate in various names by using Satyam funds and make huge profit by developing and/or selling real estate. Perhaps he would have replaced the cash taken away from Satyam. The plan was brilliant so long as the realty prices were rising. In fact all builders, and even many common men, did this by borrowing from banks and other sources to invest in realty and stocks. But soon the prime property became subprime and once the stock and realty market crashed, Raju did not know what to do. There was no way he could replace the cash to Satyam. On top of it came the Upaid case which required him to appear in US court. Had he appeared their, he would have been arrested and face 100 years in jail. So he surrendered with Indian authorities. Rest is the recent history known to all.
So, it was an Indian casualty of subprime crisis

Wake up CSCS, CSSS and CSS
We the Central Secretariat Officials, whether LDC, UDC, Stenographer, Assistant, PA or SO/PS etc. are habitual of getting themselves exploited and have guts to write in this prestigious website only. Even Human Rights Commission never lends its ear to the problems of human rights violation of these officials, despite taking cognizance of this issue in this prestigious site. I request all the LDC/UDC/Stenographers/Assistants/PA/SO/PS etc. to mobilize themselves and unite to fight against their exploitation. This exploitation definitely reflects in yours family life.
Be united and write to the Human Rights Commission and in case it does not work, be ready for filing Litigation in the Supreme court. Since the CSCS, CSSS and CSS have not united themselves for the common causes, therefore, the IAS, and politicians are exploiting you.
All policies are framed and made by the Senior Bureaucrats neither for the country nor for you. They with the approval of Prime Minister's Office make for themsleves/politicians and their children to protect their future.
It is high time to get merged the three cadres into one and choose your leader amongst yourself from the recognized associations and make a Federation only for Central Secretariat and take the full charge of the whole Central Secretariat of the GOI into your hands.
