Aaj Ki Aawaz
Sushma says ' In Congress lateral entry is done'!!!!
Whereas in BJP she says such cases …… none!!!
Does she mean to say all BJP Leaders sons who have entered Politics have worked their way up?
Well if she says yes it's a big gup!!!!
No doubt lateral entry is wrong,
But in India it's been going on for too long!!!
And what example does BJP set!!!!
For losing an election a plum posting the Leader who led BJP in this loss does get!!!
So Rahul you've got a lateral entry…… but now show us you are working to the top!!
PM's chair for you is the final stop!!!
My guess is in the next Cabinet reshuffle Rahul will get a Cabinet berth!!!
And then he'll get an opportunity to administratively to show his worth!!!
And Madam Sushma before you talk of Rahul's think tank do look at Advani's think tank!
That literally single handidly ensured that BJP sank!!
Look at Kulkarni's behaviour!!!
Who behaved as if he was BJP's and the Nation's saviour!!!
Prior to the debacle Kulkarni roared like lion and post the debacle purred like a household kitty!!!!!
In fact with the purring he also turned a trifle bit witty!!!
I plugged for an amnesty because it would get money stashed overseas back in!!!!!
For India it was a situation…. win win!!!
India would weather the next leg of the economic downturn!!!!
Its now the W's downward '\ ' turn!!!!
With a ballooning deficit, failing monsoon and the next leg of the downturn,
Into a back breaker for India it could turn (out)!!!
With the World trying to put a stop to tax havens money will fly in!!!!!
And don't they say when a wayward son returns back home forgive his every sin!!
Farmers who paid up their loans felt shortchanged on waiver of Farm loans!!!
The Farmer who did not payback laughed whereas the one who did let out moans!!
They can negotiate with the Swiss but in the end if Swiss agree to ' FEMA fishing expeditions'!
An Amnesty before using the rod will be one of the required (by Swiss) conditions!!!
Money that comes in can be channelled to funding of infrastructure projects!!!
Don't know why Amnesty Pranab Da so outrightly rejects????
Or maybe he's waiting for the Swiss to make an Amnesty demand and then he will relent!!!!
The he will mandate….. get money stashed overseas back and repent!!!
Repent by investing funds in overseas bonds and forgoing interest for two years!!!!!
Contribute to India's progress and live without any fears!!!
Officials in the Rail Mantralya are pretty harried!!!
They keep getting calls from Laloo's camp that is indeed very worried!!!
One Official was even warned that Laloo will make a comeback and he does not forget!!!
He'll hound those going against him and for those favoring him an award from him it''ll beget!
The Official ticked off the caller saying he'll not oblige and would prefer to risk Laloo's ire!!!
Whereas truth is with every passing day situation for Laloo gets dire!!
This is nothing but a relief rally in a Bear run!!!!
Yes for a few days Bulls will have some fun!!!
Oil will come down to sub sixty and will rise near Winter ….. turn hot in the cold!!!
And again Oil will end up oversold!!!
Confucius says…… World needs to work on mass producing cars that do not run of fuel!!!!
And I do not mean tying in front of the car a mule!!!
Adds…… Oil will rise to new highs in due course!!!!!
So to run cars and buses we need to mass produce vehicles which run on a non fossil fuel force!!!

IRS transfers - Greatest show than Rakhee Sawant.s
IRS transfers have become the greatest show in Delhi with a rating higher than Rakhee Sawant's marriage show. So many declared deviations and so many swept under the carpet. Rules flouted in almost 100 cases of Commissioners of income tax. Why was North area clause not implemented because Delhi is in it. Why was West area clause not implemented, because of Mumbai? Is there an over-riding clause that says only those provisions of the policy will apply as proposed by JS CBDT. The Canons of interpretation of law and policy say that all rules in a document should be applied, unless there is a non obstante or over-riding clause. Surely JS CBDT knows that.

When would retirement age of civil servants go up?
Rumour regarding increase in retirement age for scientists to 64 subject to very good ACR's is correct. The cabinet will be clearing it within 100 days programme. Now question is when would the age for civil servants get done and will they get 62 or 64, also will it be done in 100 days agenda.

We must support EVM
During the parliament election in May 2009, I was appointed as Microobserver and posted in the polling booth at Bikram, Bihar. I have personally seen the mock poll before polling on the day of polling and I have found that there was no error and results were as per vote casted in the mock poll.So, I believe, if mock poll result is satisfactory, then we must support the polling through EVM.

EVMs have to be taken seriously
The doubts about EVMs have to be taken seriously.Mr. Umesh Sehgal the former chief Secretary of Delhi has demonstrated that EVMs can be hacked.Many of us as voters had this doubt when the machine at the polling booth Vishwa Bharti Public School Noida where we went to cast our vote had got stuck.There even the ink used was so faulty that it went away with the first wash of hands unlike our experience with ink earlier where it stayed on for a month even being indelible.Something was wrong somewhere.it is quite likely that the loser was the winner and the winner was the loser if technical or other failures made the system not fool proof.It may be better to revert to the ballot paper system.There can be some way to restrict the number of candidates to overcome the difficulties with ballot paper because of large number of candidates
