Aaj Ki Aawaz
Yes, between the Prime Ministerial candidates there should be a debate!!!
Both the candidates and their agendas we could then more effectively rate!!!
But Mohna seems to be unwilling to pick up Advani's debate gauntlet!!!
With silence from Congress Advani's gauntlet has been met!!!
Anyway if they don't debate,
I'll pen an imaginary one ....only for some time you will have to wait!!!
Mohna should give serious thought about standing for election!!!
In his image of being an 'electionless wonder' this would lead to a correction!!!
If Rahul is still not interested in Ministerial work why not let Mohna stand from Amethi????
After all Amethi is like Gandhi family's ghar ki kheti!!!
Let Rahul be a Rajya Sabha MP and PM in waiting!!!!
On Mohna again being an unelected PM I'm sure Sonia must be mentally debating!!!
Congress seems to forget that by giving Tytler and Sajjan tickets elsewhere it'll loose out!
In Punjab and Delhi without a doubt!!!
Akalis will make this an issue and Congress will loose votes in Delhi and Punjab!!
On hearing these two got tickets many a Punjab and Delhi Congress candidate got julaab!!
Taking best case scenario if both win but for these two seats Congress will loose 8!!!
Very bad exchange rate!!!
Sonia knows what happened and she considers herself Humaneness ki Queen!!!
But from this action of hers humaneness cannot be seen!!!
In Punjab in Bhatinda Amrinder's son and Badal Junior's wife at pitted against each other!!!
On a private level Badal Junior's wife takes Amrinder's son to be her brother!!
Of course Badal Junior and Amrinder take each other to be Satan reincarnate!!!
Wish for each other a dire fate!!!
The Trimurti of Laloo, Mulayam and Paswan will at most get 35-40 seats!!!
In rest will face defeats!!!
And post the election if Congress needs their support!!!
All three separately for duty will report!!!!
Advani they say is learning to speak basic Telegu and Tamil!!!
He'll speak in Tamil and Telegu when he asks Jaya, Chiranjeevi / Naidu ki NDA mein ho jaye shaamil!!!
Sushma says now Jaitley and Raajnath are batti!!!!
But fact is both Rajnath and Sushma with Jaitley are katti!!!
The fire of ambition lit a fire and it's not going to be quelled!!!!
And it cannot be felled!!!
ISI sponsored terrorists armed to the teeth are trying to get in!!!!
And India Army is not allowing them to get in and karr rahi hai unko pin!!!
Pakistan is back to its dirty games!!!
Very rightly for making the neighbourhood very dangerous Pakistan ko India blames!!!!
And imagine this year Pakistan will be getting $ 300 billion aid!!!
Till Pakistan does not stop aiding and abetting terror this aid should be stayed!!!
Confucius says…….Aid was and is being diverted by Pakistan's to fund its biggest export (terror)!!!!
And on this there is a CIA Report!!!

Retirement benefits to PSE employees
Average age of an officer in PSEs is 50 years. Average post retirement life span of officer or his dependent is 20 years. Thus average service life left is 10 years while average retired life left is 20 years. During retired life a person is more vulnerable, including the health and financial concerns. Therefore in pay revision, appropriate focus should be on benefits to retired employees. It is noteworthy that for government employees, pay revision committee increases the pension of already retired employees also. These quantum increases are in addition to regular DA increases in their pension.

PSU employees must follow the Gandhian way, ex-PM Shastri showed. All PSU employees should observe fast on every Monday as a mark of protest unitedly.
