Single & prestigious Lok Sabha bye election: - Congress, BSP, SP fight battle of wits & strate
There is only one Lok Sabha bye election of Firozabad which is due in November. Date is not yet announced but swords are out & the battle has become very interesting. BSP has announced three times MP, SPS Baghel, as its candidate. Samajwadi Party has put Akhilesh Yadav's wife Dimple Yadav - first female from Mulayam Singh Yadav's family to enter in politics. Congress has placed Raj Babbar the famous film star, who recently lost Lok Sabha election from Fatehpur Sikri (Agra).This election has become so prestigious that BJP is not able to decide its candidate yet. This has become an election of strategies and tactics evidently because Mayawati has instructed her think tank under Satish Misra to manage everything to win this election. The chariot driver of Mulayam Singh Yadav & the Chanakya of Samajwadi Party, Amar Singh, who played a very important role in the marriage of Dimple with Akhilesh is coming shortly from Singapore to take charge of guns to see that hold of Mulayam Singh continues in his Fortress of Firozabad. Amar Singh recently proved his manipulative skills when he made it a point that Jayaprada wins from Rampur despite all odds. Congress has continued its experiment of bringing youth into mainstream and has assigned Atul Chaturvedi, who has been recently inducted in the youth think tank of Congress, after recent Lok Sabha General elections, to plan the battle formations for this bye election. Results will tell which think tank actually works & which will survive?!!

CORPORATE

Aaj Ki Aaawaz
There is a method in IOA's madness…. let delays take place!!!
Aim is to take make India look as if it is losing the Commonwealth Games deadline race!!
Soon message will be 'get it done and money should not be a consideration'!!
After all otherwise it'll reflect badly on the Nation!!!
Then IOA and all involved will 'laugh to the bank' …metaphorically speaking!!
As the costs steeply upward all will be squeaking!!!
I say metaphorically speaking because a lot of the money will go under the table!!!
In Bank accounts unless the accounts are overseas ghoos is not payable!!
Or maybe in the end if it's not possible to meat the deadline!!!
Then Sarkaar could be forced to declare in India there is an epidemic of The Swine!!
After all if they can fudge GDP, inflation, unemployment figures!!
To save face it'll not take long for Sarkaar to fudge swine flu figures one figure's!!
Believe me Kalamadi and gang have run Indian sport like 'ghar ki kheti'!!!!
And by the looks of it 'ghar ki kheti' bahut achcha maal hai deti!!
Laloo went into a depression after RJD's poll thrashing and so he says,
After JD(U)'s thrashing in the bye elections Nitish is in for depressing days!!
Though some say this is good for JD(U) as it'll make complacency go away!!!
And JD(U) will claw back to winning they say!!
Fact of the matter is people have never forgotten Laloo's rule!!
When he loaded Bihar with problems like an overloaded mule!!
How can they forget the jungle raaj that prevailed when Laloo ruled Bihar ???
When both Bihar and Biharis ko padthi thi everyday without fail maar!!!!
When goondas ruled and their word was law!!!!
The worst times in those Biharis saw!!
BJP is in doldrums and has no Neta or Neeti so JD(U) needs to think!!!!
At this rate NDA is bound to sink!!!
When the time comes JD(U) should ally with Congress…. double whammy or two in one!!!
Laloo and Paswan's chutti and reduction in anti incumbency will be done!!
And Nitish must remember his leaving BJP will mean Muslim votes will flood back!!!
Something that with BJP JD(U) karr rahi hai lack!!!
Now Tharoor's 'Man Friday' has jumped into the fray!!!
And now this twit is twitting and having his say…..both are astray!!!
Tharoor is cut up on being ordered to leave his comfy perch!!!
And it was nearly free if someone does do under RTI a search!!!
He's a Mantri and if he's been given a discount by a Hotel Chain,
And if as a Mantri he can make Hotel Chain gain!!
Then RTI does apply!!!
So for his hotel bills someone needs to apply!!
I feel he should be dropped from the Cabinet….he'll loose his 'Hotel discount card'!!!
Of course politely he'll be told ' season is on and to give a room its very hard'!!
Hotel's way of politely turning down a 'sifarshi' room request!!!
Okay if he wants Five Star pampering he should try to emulate BBC's Richard Quest!!
Approach some TV Channel and start a Show for the Business Traveler!!
On TV become 'luxurious staying and traveling ' ka unraveller!!
And by the way for Economy Class Cattle Class is an oft used anology!!!
So on this he does not need to issue an apology!!
The seats are crammed and oft the airline crew has an attitude in this section!!!
Be it entertainment or meals or refhreshments you have very limited or no selection!
Maya has warned if Statues made by her Sarkaar are demolished there will be unrest!
And Mulayam has vowed that till he pulls down the statues he will not rest!!
Has she got wind of some 'statue pulling down moves' by the men in Orange caps???
After all on Mulayam and his henchmen's phones there must be taps!!!
Confucius says….. the statues are a colossal waste but to break them will be wasting the waste!!!
I'm sure many would be wishing that statues could be 'cut and paste'!!!
Adds….. then money would not be wasted and once a Sarkaar exits!!!
All that needs to be done to remove the statues .....'cut' option new Sarkaar hits!!!

IPS must start entry in CPMF's
It is high time, now IPS must start entry in CPMF's as Assistant Commandants. After commanding a company and battalion they will better command these forces. CPMF officers entry should be stopped forthwith, let all IPS man these forces. It will be in the interest of country.

Austerity year and shortage of officers
So much is being mouthed about austerity measures that GOI has proposed but the real vision appears to be sidelined. In the beginning years after Independence it was generally felt that India being poor country the Government should not be spendthrift. The country did have towering political personalities who demonstrated the minimum comfort working style. Over the years however the real vision has been replaced by tokenism. Nobody seems to be worrying about real downsizing the Govt machinery itself. New departments, new posts are being created at the drop of a hat. Be it UID, NIA, or parastatals etc. Suddenly there is an increase in the intake of IAS, IPS , IRS etc. The batches have become very big. Why there is no consistency in the policy of downsizing, nobody knows. One should think of short term horizontal entry into civil services. Further let the present civil services be further categorised as Administrative Group, Police Group, Finance Group. Let there be pooling of officers from different services into these broad groups for man power requirement of GOI. I don't think a police service person be wasted in either administrative or finance sector of GOI. Similarly, why an administrative service personnel be wasted in Finance sector such as banking, insurance, enforcement directorate etc. It's waste that officers of IFts are wasting their caliber pushing files in the ministries instead of preserving forests.

Punish them severely
The bureaucrats, senior Officers or any politician connect in such case must be punished severely. This is the only issue noticed at appropriate person. At the same time, the officers involved, if speak out truth and bring actual persons in lime light, they must be severely tackled. It is a fact that such big crime is hatched by big fishes always. Small persons are, mostly, punished but big fishes remain absconding and get relief. This may not be allowed to happen in this case.

It should be 58 only rather than 60 because we have to bring young generation in all aspects of life. This is my personal view.
