Aaj
Ki Aawaz There's a pep in Advani's step, Sonia's
step is cautious and sans any pep!!! Advani's calculation is NDA (prep poll)
will be ahead!!!! And he'll be called to form Sarkaar as NDA's head!!!
His calculation is once he's called Parties will trip over each other to ally
with NDA!! He feels Naturally in Demand Alliance will be the new analogy of
NDA!! Congress is depending on secular Parties not going the NDA way!!!
Like we've heard what Patnaik and Naidu after their Alliances with NDA did say!!
'We will not repeat this mistake or blunder again'!!! Though BJP feels this
will change as politics is 'the art of gain'!!!! If BJP does well in UP Maya's
not going to look BJP's way!! Because then challenger's role in UP BJP will
play!!! Amma down South has said she prefers NDA but she's known for her flip
flops! She prefers BJP as at Karnataka's borders BJP's presence stops!!! Amma
also realizes that Congress can numerically make the DMK Sarkaar fall!!! And
BJP cannot do anything so that move ho jaye stall!!! I feel Amma's going to
hold an auction and support the one who outbids!!! After the results are out
she will invite bids!!!! Commies are mellowing down as they still have nightmares
of the NDA days!!! They'll try their best that out of power NDA stays!!!
Coming back to Advani's peppy step
.throne may look close but it's very far
or dur!!! And the probability is high that Advani's PM sapna ho saktha hai
chakna-chur!!! Going by Aesop its better to be a turtle!!! Pep can make
one turn turtle (upside down)!!! Advani should realize this from NDA's past!!!
When NDA's boasts beyond the elections did not last!!! And Jaitley's moroseness
shows that he's not gung-ho like Advani!!! Though some would cite for his
moroseness the 'tent wallah' kahani!!! The realist that Manmohan is he must
have already started packing his bags!!! He'll move out in a jiffy if power
NDA bags!!! He'll do the same if Third Front makes it!!!! Though as Congress
would be supporting Third Front he can afford that extra bit (time)! Mohna's
contributions would be the Deal, RTI, NREGA and waiver of Farmers loans!!
So about Mohna's performance Advani should think before he lets out moans!!!
As DPM cum HM what did Advani achieve!!! In fact on Advani's performance there
is a lot to grieve!! Advani keeps throwing at Mohna debate gauntlet!!!
Okay in debating good marks he will get!! But ground reality is Mohna is light
years ahead of him in delivering!!!! My feeling because of Advani's personal
barbs from a debate Mohna is dithering!! Mulayam's done a somersault and now
he's backing Amar!!!! In Rampur Azam has already broken SP's kamar!!!
SP is bound to decline more and more!!! For SP more falls are in store!!!
Laloo is in mourning!!! He gets up very late in the morning!!! And goes
to bed at a time when in the past he used to be at his best!!! By the looks
of it he's going to get a 5 year rest!!! By the looks of it he's going to
loose both the seats he's tried his luck!!! Out of Bihar Biharis ne kiya Laloo
aur RJD ko chuck!!! Forth front will not even come fourth in the electoral
race!! Decimation it's going to face!!! Confucius says
.. Laloo 'Mungeri
Lal' Yadav ke sapne are going to turn into nightmares! At a bleak period Laloo
stares!!! Flash ...NDA rally in Ludhiana was a huge success and Nitish and
Modi shared the stage!!! Pictures of Nitish and Modi shaking hands are going
to be on every Newspapers page!! What if BJP cannot get the numbers ... will
Nitish then think of becoming a UPA ally??? In the eventuality of NDA not
forming the Sarkaar the possibility does lie!!! He could then do India a service
by giving UPA a helping haath!!! UPA would then not need Commies ka saath!!! TRS
has jumped the gun and Rao was on stage for the NDA rally!!! NDA has promised
giving Telangana statehood and so with NDA Rao's become pally!!!

Extracts: An open letter from an IPS Officer to Home Minister Part 2 Further
to the extracts published in the WIC on the 8th May 2009 1. Interestingly by
that time in Britain there was no service like ICS and IP. Everyone was starting
at lowest level and depending on merit they were going up. Even today for police
in UK everyone is entering into Constabulary and rising in hierarchy by sheer
hard work and merit. Not like us where simply by showing one time mugging and
better educational background and examination skill, we enter into middle
rung of bureaucracy with sole right to lead the rest. We don't have any specialized
skills neither we develop one, but by virtue of our one time success in an examination,
we develop a right to lead everyone. My frustration is more towards policing
as I belong to uniform community. I don't have aptitude nor hobby to be in Policing
Job but I am here and I may lead whole police force one day because I am born
in Police with Golden Spoon that is IPS. How it will happen is depending upon
my hobnobbing and sycophancy skills and why not because after Civil Service Examination
it is my birth right. 2. Please see in detail the profile of senior officials
and than one will realize that how these officers have manipulated the system
and reached the respective places. Hasan Gafoor a very nice person and decent
police officer has spent most of his career out side actual policing and done
many soft posting outside actual police work. Presently he is Commissioner, Mumbai
Police. Our NSA was a top class IB officials but he even not bothered to close
this mindless media exhibition of a national tragedy......... Bal Who
is responsible ? While the honest admission of Rahul Gandhi regarding
10 paise is praise worthy, it cannot be naive admisssion since the Congress is
in power for more than 60 years in this country and is sure to know the account
of 90 paise in Swiss Banks ! Mittal Rahul is better than others
! Rahul is really far far better than other politicians exploiting Indians
from long time. He and his sister Priyanka realise the real situation that all
glamour they have got is due to large public support and they have to do for the
masses but other most senior leaders, even in the Congress and the BJP, are thinking
only up to their family or trying to adopt divide and rule policy. Today PM in
waiting? is quoting the statement of late Rajiv Gandhi that only 15 paisa is reaching
to real destination and by quoting this he wants to get all votes to his Bhagva
brigade inspite of having Modi and himself as a defaulters who many times breached
the Indian constitution and tried to destroy the harmony of India. At least Rahul,
Priyanka and Soniya Gandhi may be fighting only for the chair and power which
is need of any politician but Advani and his brigade is fighting not only for
power and chair, they have many hidden agenda due to which they and their supporters
always cry for Hindutva/Article-370 like issues instead of issues of development.
When they were shouting that 'India is shining' they had already made their one
hidden agenda successful by commercialising the whole education system to debar
70% Indians from higher education. They never like to see more than 15% Indians
to be seated at any chair .All villagers remain beggar in front of them and their
suporters. I strongly think that Rahul will become more strong and will try to
break the caucus inside the Congress really working for the above hidden agenda
of Bhagva brigade and will become one day the popular most Indian leader like
Lal B shastri, Sardar Patel and Indira Gandhi. Man Singh
Just
for political gain It has really been very bad phase for sincere and honest
PSU officers who having being placed number one in the selection panel by PESB
were ignored on flimsy ground and bypassed to place no. 2 in panel just for political
support. The officers life has been shattered. Who are responsible ? What will
the system now do for such sufferers? S Gupta Communication of
ACR The decision to communicate/share the ACRs is the first step in working
out a transparent system of Performance appraisals etc. While there has been some
progress for IAS officers, it is far from satisfactory. Moreover, it has not been
implemented for other services. The moot point that still needs to be addressed
is the timely writing of ACRs. Kindly do a reality check and see the percentage
of ACRs that have not been written for 2007-08 or earlier, what to talk of 2008-09!!!!!!! A
sufferer DPE managed and not Board With DPE deciding the pay
and facilities of PSU officers, PSUs are now DPE managed and not Board managed.
Therefore question is whether the Board of Directors is required at all. As for
issuing charge sheets and termination letters, that can also be done by DPE directly.
KM Leave encashment calculations need to be corrected
Under gratuity act, ½ month's pay is paid for each year of service completed,
for a maximum of 33 years. ½ month's salary is calculated as 15/26 of monthly
salary. This formula recognizes the fact that with 4 Sundays in a month, an
employee earns a month's wages by working for 26 days. In the same way, for
calculating leave encashment at the time of retirement one month's wages should
be paid for 26 leaves instead of 30 leaves. This would be a fair calculation,
and shall give to employees their due. MK Who will help poor
DEOs? For these poor DEOs, there is no promotion even after 20 years, no
Departmental Examination, no cadre restructuring even though they work in CSS
offices, no justified First Financial Up-gradation under the so called ACP scheme
( they get the lower pay scale of Rs. 4500-125-7000/- after their basic pay becomes
Rs. 5200/-), no Flexible Complementing Scheme which is being implemented for the
DEOs of the NIC and no grant of similar pay scale of Rs. 5000-150-8000/- being
given to their counter parts in CLTRI etc. I expect the concerned authorities
will come for the rescue of poor DEOs. A deprived DEO CSS are
important for govt AIS officers come and go. It was the CSS who were the
knowledge bank and providing the AIS officers the background info and guiding
them in taking right decisions. The decision to transfer CSS would make no difference
to the officials but for the Government, it would make a big difference. AIS officers
incompetence would get exposed in no time. This is already happening in important
Ministries. Quality of work in Government Ministries has gone from good to bad
in the last few years because of the transfer policy of US and SO level officers.
Now introducing this at lower levels would take it from bad to worse. People who
have time to take such decisions need to be given some constructive work. DoPT
would be wasting precious Government time in issuing transfer orders and dealing
with placements. What a waste ? Anil Should no govt employee be promoted
? Articles of persons like Lal Gulab should not have been published. If
the line of action suggested by him is followed, then it means that no Government
employee should be promoted if he has already earned one or two promotions. Whether
he is an All India Service officer or an S.O., he should remain so throughout
if he has already got promotion from Asstt's post. He does not have any knowledge
about good personnel management. Every competent person aspires to go higher in
the hierarchy. If a PPS or SPPS does not take dictation, it means that he is doing
a more important work; it doesn't mean that he is not capable to do this work.
Dharam PPS/Sr.PPS/PSO It carries more responsibility
and dedication I am surprised with the comments being given about PPS, Sr.PPS
or PSO. Since I am fortunate enough to have experience of working in both the
Secretarial (stenographic) and non-secretarial line, I must mention that the work
of personal staff headed by PPS/Sr.PPS (or PSO, in future) carries more responsibility
and dedication than that of SO, USs or DSs. An efficient Dealing Hand (LDC or
UDC) is equal to any Under Secretary, if not better. In fact, there are instances,
when a Joint Secretary or Secretary has preferred a dealing hand in briefing sessions
with Secretaries/Ministers to US/DS. Does that mean the post of Assistant, SO
and US/DS are irrelevant? We all should understand that everybody has a role to
play in the set up of Government. As an US or DS has a different role to play,
even though there may be a very efficient dealing hand under them, PPS or Sr.PPS
has his or her own importance in the o/o Secretary. There have been occasions,
when in the absence of Secretary his directions need to be passed on to other
officers in the Ministry/Department, in such situations, there is lot of difference
the effect of such a direction would have on them when the same is passed on to
by a PPS / Sr.PPS or by a PA/PS. There are similar other occasions, when authority
has to be used and as we all know, higher then post, higher is the authority.
Officers would agree with me when I say that an efficient PPS/Sr.PPS has always
proved a shock-absorber for officers junior to his boss (i.e. AS/JS,Dir/DS etc).
We should remember that 6th PC has rightly taken a decision and instead of rejecting
it. DOPT should find ways to make these posts more responsible by assigning them
suitable work and other facilities, befitting their grade. Singh Let
us get a government, we don't deserve !!! The Indian voters are fed up
with the blame-game of accusations/ counter-accusations played 24x7, by political
parties. The boredom is killing. Though professing different ideologies, these
parties share a common goal : How to grab power ? For them, means are not important;
but, the goal is ! In their anxiety to please their Master , some party's spokesmen
tried to overreach themselves and were promptly sacked today (May 9). The voters,
as always, are confused , irate, sore and disillusioned. They are in a Catch-
22 situation! All along in the past, we got the" Government , We Deserved".
Results are there for everyone to see. Let us, this time, get a "Government,
We Don't Deserve" . The Change, they say, is always for the better ! I urge
upon you to publish my views on the website, which is known for its transparency,
despite your 'covert' support for Rahul baba (So, It seems), based on a survey
with a miniscule sample which is statistically unviable. A K Saxena (A
retired civil servant) It is not in good taste The comments of one
visitor that PPS/SrPPS/PSO do nothing is is bad taste. In government most of the
people do nothing. Why to signal out one particular category of officer. These
are the only category who are always found at least on there seat. Tell me if
that category of officers has no right to promotions ? I am unable to understand
how the creation of PSOs post will instigate fighting between CSSS and CSS. I
think the visitor is not happy in seeing the upgraded post. His contention that
after PS all officers be converted into Under Secretary onwards is in the right
and sensible. However, I am unable to understand why he is zealous when some category
officer is being given equal chance. Please note this category of officers has
been neglected for a long time and it was after 5th CPC that their position is
improving. I would request such visitors not to criticise others but fight for
your own cause and if possible raise the problems of others. We are all human
beings we should feel happy if someone is getting something coz there is no loss
of others. Ramesh Take BSNL to the Consumer Forum Instead
of throwing the card into the gutter, please show a little more of consumer spirit
and file a complaint in the District Consumer Forum of your area and see the pleasure
of hearing sweet music from the highest in BSNL. Spare not such "deficiency"
in service. Complain and seek relief for : 1)monetary loss; 2)deprivation of the
use of the facility, and; 3)harassment and mental torture. Either take help from
some friendly(I mean it literally) lawyer or best get guidance from the website
of the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission.Enforce your own rights
and lead others in the matter. Good luck. M L Gupta It's excellent
Excellent way of teaching of an excellent piece of wisdom & empathy
which are extremely necessary for all of us to make world a place full of love
& peace for ever tremendously benefiting each of us irrespective of what,
how & where we and others are. Vipin Gupta
TAIL-PIECE
========== There Is No Escape =================== Once a Doctor,
a Professor and a prominent Lawyer were traveling in a car. They met with an accident
and all three of them died. Yama Raj was waiting for this moment at the doorstep
of death and he asks the Doctor and Professor to go to Heaven. But, for the Advocate,
Yama had already decided that he should be sent to Hell. The Advocate is
not at all happy with this decision and he argues with Yama as to why this discrimination
is being made. All the three of them had served the public. Similarly, all took
bribes, all misused their positions, etc. Then why different treatment? He suggested
that there should be a formal test or an objective evaluation before a decision
is made; and should not be just based on opinion or pre-conceived notions.
Yama agrees to this and asks all three of them to appear for an English test.
Doctor is asked to spell "INDIA" and he does it correctly. Professor
is asked to spell "ENGLAND" and he too passes. It is Advocate's
turn and he is asked to spell "CZECHOSLOVAKIA". Advocate protests that
this is not fair and he was given a tough question and thus forced to fail with
false intent. Yama then agrees to conduct a written test in Hindi. Doctor
is asked to write "KUTTA BOLA BHOW BHOW". He writes it easily and passes.
Professor is asked to write "BILLY BOLI MYAUN MYAUN". He too passes.
Advocate is asked to write "BANDAR BOLA GURRRRRR....." Tough one. He
fails again. Advocate is extremely unhappy. Having been a student of history
(which the other two weren't), he now requested for all of them to be subjected
to a test in History. Yama says OK but said this would be the last chance
and that he would not take any more tests. Doctor is asked: "When did
India get Independence?". He replied "1947" and passed. Professor
is asked "How many people died during the independence struggle?". He
gets nervous. Yama asked him to choose from 3 options: 1,00,000 or 2,00,000 or
3,00,000. Professor catches it and says 2,00,000 and passes. It's Advocate's
turn now. 'Yama asks him to give the Name & Address of each of the 2,00,000
people who died in the freedom struggle. Finally, Advocate accepts defeat
and agrees to go to Hell. Moral of the story: If Your Boss or Department
Decides To Screw You, There Is No Escape. Contributed by-Pawan Kumar |
