Seems now Parties will outdo each other in offering BPL families free daal and aata!!!
And on the sly will offer free booze from the nearby ahaata (bar)!!!
Hope they realize the adage….better than gifting fish teach them how to fish!!!
Then such freebies Parties will not have to dish!!!
Seems Political Parties do not want the BPL to rise from the dump!!!
But then this should not stump!!!
Like the majority minority is a vote bank so are those Below the Poverty Line!!!!
And to appease them come elections outside their homes or huts Politicians line!!!
And then going by the formula that only 8% reaches the affected!!!!
A lot of pilfering is done and the dole lands up with the connected!!
Amar is now the Spokesman for Laloo or is it the other way around!!!
Political World sure is very round!!!
Both Laloo and Amar know that with Congress fighting the elections on its own!!!
Any chances of getting a decent result in the elections have been blown!!!
So Congress has in effect done some wing clipping!!!!
Both RJD's and SP's stock in Delhi will be dipping!!!
Rahul Baba put your hand on your heart and answer this sawaal???
If you had to see the person who ordered killing of your son walk free what would be your haal??
And if this person was given an election ticket!!!!
I'm sure outside the Office of the Party that gave the ticket you'd night and day picket!
Wish you have not made the false promise in Amritsar!!!
Very wrong and shows you in a very poor light my dear Sir!!!
Jaitley is abs right in his stand against Mittal but this was not the time for his pout!!!
This pout has already affected BJP's electorally without a doubt!!!
And more blame lies on Advani who has not been able to quell this fire!!!
For his fibbing and fobbing that all is okay there is no buyer!!
In fact I had equated Mittal to Amar Singh!!!!
Between the two don't know who will find this comparison more insulting!!!
Mahajan's daughter has been refused a ticket but Mittal is quite!!!!
For one who called himself a Mahajan loylist is this right????
Now Balasahib says Pawar is a fink!!!!
Says Laloo and Mulayam did not but Pawar ne kiya blink!!!
He blinked and entered into an alliance with Congress!!!
In Balasahib's terminology Pawar is a weasel in a Neta's dress!!!
Now even US say's that IPL is in the terror organizations 'sights'!!!
More trouble as with Offshore trouble IPL fights!!!
Without a doubt the costs will rocket!!!
And by the looks of money will be going out of every team owner's pocket!!!
Confucius says…..Why is India so cricket crazy…. is it escapism from the problems we face?????
Or does it give us our sanity in this rat race????

We the people..." have no ambition
We, more than 100 crore Indians, have no ambition! We have no territorial ambition, though a greater percentage of court cases relate to illegal encroachments on neighbours or government lands. We have no ambition even to choose a government of our liking, because we have absolutely no ambition. We are in a perpetual state of dissatisfaction from any government that the kind of Indian democracy thrusts on us. The result is that even those who are hardly past puberty, but already acquired national leaders stature, promise the moon election after election! Not their fault entirely though, since they don't know the people's ambition! So we are offered rice @ 3/- a kg, colour tv, gold, onions, health care, education, model school at block level, free electricity, writeoff loans schemes-you name it and it is there from the stables (or call it manifesto) of all parties of all political shades.
It is now the time for the people to prepare their own manifesto and ensure it's full implementation. We must choose our own government rather than suffering any government, the synonym of that wonderful invention of our ingenuity called the "jugad", which is an automobile of its own kind in the world.
As the visiting community on the whispersinthecorridors is the most enlightened and elite community of concerned citizens, they can draft a national manifesto in bullet form to make a beginning.
We must have Ambition & the capacity to convert it into reality. Those who don't choose their own government, have no right to criticize the government chosen by others!

PSU representatives must come out against govt menace
Right. The pace at which the matter has been handled by the government and the bureaucrats having vested interests and ego problem, indicates the sincerity of this government in resolving the issues. It is high time all the major central PSU representatives come out and form a combined forum to fight out this governmental menace unleashed by the bureaucrats and the ministries. Only then, they will learn.

Why still dithering ?
Why still dithering GOI when the file is stated to be cleared by Election Commission of India. It seems to be unfair.

We pray to God that this govt doesn't come back to power
The intention of government was clear from beginning. Inspite of repeated promises nothing had been done on this front forcing the Oil sector to go on strike. Then too it was crushed in a high handed way, which will put even British Raj to shame. The media was threatened to give misleading coverage and not to cover the striking officers' point of view. We pray to god that this government don't come back to power again.
