On BJP's electioneering Jaitley and Rajanth's spat will have a negative affect!!!
And this spat also shows discipline in the Party Advani simply cannot effect!!!
BJP's forte has been its cadres and this time cadres are unenthused!!!!
Many feel that by the Leaders they are used an abused!!
And all that Advani does is rub his hands and in denial he remains!!!
When asked touchy questions ignorance he feigns!!!
' Don't take anything for granted' …Mohna is abs right!!!
On the previous election never loose sight!!
Prior to the election NDA was declared the winner but tripped at the winning line!!
Literally went down like skittles nine!!
And Congress which was predicted to loose 'won'!!!
Because of its overconfidence in NDA was done!!!
Third Front is a force and should not be underrated!!!!
As a potential force it should be rated!!!
In the upcoming elections Jaya and Maya are expected to do well!!!!
Other's will do reasonably one can tell!!!
And then don't forget UPA Allies stand in the side lines as well!!
For power with anyone the likes of Pawar and Laloo can gel!
Today all that NCP and RJD want is to win maximum seats on their own!!!
And why do you think Congress karr rahi hai moan????
Bottom line is how well will Congress and BJP do on their own???
Third Front's future will then only be known!!!
Pranab Da is trying to make electorate sentimental by saying this could be his last election!!
Hopes this pitch would amke electorate make a sentimental selection!!!
Knowing Pranab Da .....no chance he can retire!!!
If they have to make him retire musclemen they will have to hire!!!
He'll have to be dragged out screaming, shouting and abusing!!!!
And then to keep him at home bouncers at his door they will be using!!!
Voting should be made mandatory!!!
To vote is should be obligatory!!!
Today quite a number of voters do not vote!!!!
From the average turnout this is what anyone will note!!!
Red Tape is a curse!!!!
And in this India comes under the category 'worse'!!!!
India is gift wrapped as a investment destination but people do see the red tape wrapped around the gift!!!!
India needs to reduce the red tape and make things move 'swift'!!!!
Corruption is India's bane or you can say 'biggest thorn' in the thorns ka crown!!!
Corruption is pulling India down!!!
Confucius says...... We are a Nation that is ridden with ghoos!!!!
Ghoos is making India loose (out)!!!!

An outrageous advice by the CVC!!!
The reported advice by the CVC to public sector banks to write off their "bad debts" with the consent of the CBI (TOI, March 15, 2009) is the most shocking and reprehensible advice in the history of Public Sector, nay the whole Government of India. Besides encouraging financial bungling by way of write-off of bad and "seemingly" irrecoverable loans through the back door, this will result in sweeping repercussions across the board and open the proverbial Pandora's box of similar demands from other quarters. The public exchequer and the rule of law will be the obvious casualties. The CVC's advice is also bad in law. Moreover, the timing of such an outrageous advice by the CVC, the Apex watch-dog on governmental corruption, when the country is on the threshold of General Elections, raises suspicion in the public mind as to under whose pressure the CVC's advice has been tendered on such a sensitive matter! How could the banking officers already charge-sheeted in the said cases of mega corruption involving embezzlement of thousands of crores of rupees, be let off, just because out-of-courts settlements have been reached by the bankers with the defaulters! Is this financial prudence! Ends of Justice would be met if the prosecution of the accused is taken to its logical end, with the approval of the Court. The CEC and C&AG are expected to take due notice of this compounded irregularity as also the Court ! The CBI is mandated to carry out investigations rather than act on any 'extenuating' circumstance, as perceived by the bankers!

Clearing the backlog in UDCs grade
UDCs are not promoted on regular basis since 1987 and UDCs upto 1993 batch have been promoted on ad hoc basis. This has left lot of UDCs not being promoted as Assistants even after putting 22 years of services or in other words 2/3 of total eligible service in the same grade. However, your esteemed Department is not at all moved by the plight of the UDCs. In order to remove the stagnation in the UDCs grade, 2nd Cadre Restructuring Committee has made some vital recommendations but they are not being implemented. The recommendations of the 2nd Administrative Reforms Committee too have not been implemented. The Department has now modified the CSS Rules narrowing the promotion avenue by reducing the promotee quota from 50% to 25%. This is a death blow to all the UDCs.
