Aaj Ki Aawaz

Shouldn't West Bengal be put under President's Rule!!!
Apply the 'unfit to rule' rule!!!!
And before this Red scourge spreads stop it!!!!
Without a doubt to stop the spread Commie Sarkaar is unfit!!!
Let the rule of law return to West Bengal!!!
At present bahut boora hai haal!!!
West Bengal is in a state of civil war and needs immediate control!!!!
WB Sarkaar has failed in its role!!!
Another BJP Leader protests and resigns…. Kushyaari!!!
But this guy is known for his hoshiyaari!!!
He was instrumental in BJP loosing out in his State!!!
As an efficient CM Khanduri ko Public actually does rate!!
Advani refuses to let BJP rebound!!!!
After applying fevicol to the chair now around himself and chair rope he's bound!!
Have never seen such a penchant for 'staying on'!!!!!
In modern India's history such examples….. none!!!!
And Advani has the gall to say that he's been pulled down by detractors!!!
His own 'Mohna rants' and negative campaign were for his fall the biggest factors!!!
Congress is sadly mistaken if it thinks ' the vote was for stability'!!!
Yes the 'collateral benefit' of this election…. tackled instability!!!
The instability in UPA2 is it not realizing the reason for its win!!!!
Seems the voice is not being heard over the 'celebration' din!!!
And with Sonia holidaying in Shimla and Rahul overseas!!!!
Mohna is refusing to bat and just keeps taking his guard at the crease!!!
And he can afford to take his time because there's no bowler to bowl!!!!!
BJP is refusing to play Opposition's role!!!
This was the time that UPA2 should have given the Nation a insight to its plans… road map!!!!
But everything is at a standstill as Rahul and Sonia are holidaying as dono ho gaye hai sap!!!!
There is just talk and talk ......... nothing to show!!!
What the Public does with non performers or just empty talkers we all know!!!
'NREGA is a dream scheme' say the pilfering lot so leaks need to be plugged!!!!
From the pilfering bugs this scheme needs to be de-bugged!!
BJP on the other hand plans to do chintan for its loss…. but how many will attend?????
Some couldn't care less and some apni wounded egos karr rahe hai tend!!
And with Advani and Rajnath expected to be on the centre stage many feel chintan is useless!!!
Because first they want these two to go as they feel these two got BJP into this mess!!!
So winners are in a celebration mood and losers are mourning and Nation is waiting!!!!!!
Leave delivering these guys at present are not even debating!!!
Obama squashed a fly while giving an interview!!!!!
Message.... this is what could happen if you don't accept Uncle Sam's view!!!!
By the way the guy's hair has already started to go white!!!!
And ne no longer looks 'bright'!!!
The Oval Office does this to incumbents.... ages them and makes them look tired!!!
And this starts from the day they are 'hired'!!!
Inflation in India they say is in negative territory!!!
But when you go to buy household items its a different story!!!!
The calculation is flawed and does not reflect the sachayee!!!
Says inflation is low when actually there is 'hai dhuhaee'!!!!
Demand has not contracted and prices have also not contracted or hoyi hai kumm!!!
Many feel money mein nahi raha woh puraana dumm!!!
Life has become dull without Laloo and Amar…… and seems both will not return soon!!!!
So we will not hear Laloo ki bak-bak and Amar se 'sherro shayri ka khoon'!!!!
Confucius says…. I miss these Indian political stage ke baddies….. life is not the same!!!!
After all badnaam ka bhi hotha hai name!!!!

Hypocratic system
Indian Express of 18-6-09 carried a news item on its front page titled' Babus give themselves 10/10' and government is now trying to redevise the performance measuring system. Now how long back was the old system of gradings changed? I think just an year! It is clear that government may devise any system IAS will find the way out in giving themselves the best Performance Ratings despite the nation at large suffering from a largely inefficient and corrupt administration. I heard an anecdote that CM of a state held meeting of all HoD's in which he displayed the CR's of every HoD. Now all the CR's of course were rated OS. CM asked only one question from the august gathering since all of you are Outstanding so now I expect you to kindly raise a hand and tell me how many would rate the performance of your concerned department as outstanding. I believe not a single hand was raised. What an hypocratic system where everyone irrespective of his/her actual performance and his/her integrity get rated as outstanding or 10/10 just because he has a tag while the people keep on suffering a non-accountable and non-performing system.

Anguish of CSS officer is genuine
The anguish of CSS officer is genuine. All the officers either they are from CSS or from State Civil service are always getting a raw deal. An all India service officer gets atleast 5-6 promotions in his career while a State service officer has to struggle for getting into IAS throughout his life. All officers who are recruited to the job should have an equal right to get promotion in time but it is really ironical that those who are the custodians and guardians of all bureaucrats in the country are keeping their interest first. In a family, the head i.e. the father is more concerned about the rights, welfare and growth of all the family members than that of his own.he has to do lot of sacrifices for getting the best to his family members but it is really very disgusting that the IAS and the All India services who are at the position of Head have put all their efforts and concern for their own welfare and growth. This is a very bad sign for the Indian bureaucracy. Decision takers must think & introspect.

CBI does not have jurisdiction
It is difficult for CBI to search both IAS and IPS officers. That is not because of any partial behaviour on the part of the CBI but because it does not have jurisdiction over All India Service officers serving state governments. This is a legal lacuna which the Prime Minister may like to plug.

All service that form Indian bureaucracy are not inefficient
In this study an error has been committed by equating Indian bureaucracy with only IAS. It is no doubt that IAS is the least efficient of Indian bureaucratic services and to that extent the results of studies are accurate. But to say that in toto all other services which form the part of Indian bureaucracy are not efficient is wrong as the study has failed to appreciate that there exists other services also in Indian bureaucracy .I think it is not a fault of the study, it is the system of India which over the year of dominance of IAS has created a situation where only IAS officers are considered as bureaucrats.

ACP orders are not good
Government has sanctioned ACP for all government officials and those who are following Pay Scale as per Government of India norms but DOP&T has made a barrier in implementing this scheme for Autonomous bodies. I do not understand the logic in stopping this benefit. Will DOP&T will reconsider this.

Minister's gesture of core group formation will broaden intellectual mass
I do not agree with your comments as the Minister's gesture of core group formation will broaden the intellectual mass to understand the problems this sector is facing amidst conflicting demands from the society and his posting has been one of the best thing happened to the forestry sector. However, the core group should have the widest possible representation among the seniors and juniors though wisdom is not the sole prerogative of the seniors. The decision making process is different in Government of India and is not vitiated by such group as a system is in place. It should be used for out of box ideas. What we need in this sector is synergy of efforts among the professionals, administrators, planners and scientists as the pressure of development and regulatory mechanism require very balanced approach. one issue that needs urgent attention is the is acute shortage of trained man power in the state at the lower level and professionalism at the higher levels. The absence of this is getting reflected in poor protection of forests.
