It’s an excellent site but the only lapse is that it concentrates more on North rather than South. Keep an eye on South Indian news also. Keep it up.

Aaj Ki Aawaz

Mohna’s order that Ministers declare their assets and interests shows his naivety!!
Either he does not know or he does not want to control Mantris sheer depravity!!!
 
He should have checked out the corruption cases and learned!!!
That by Mantris how is ‘ghoos earned’!!!
 
It’s not by giving orders to their own outfits but by taking ghoos for order placement!
And usually terms and condition are 100% ghoos before order is signed or sent!!
 
Ministers can easily flout his ‘declare your business interests’ mandate!!!
A maze of Benami Companies they can create!!
 
Mohna’s CA would have told him how benaami Companies are formed and paisa lanundered!
The system by such Companies is being plundered!!
 
Why there were allegations that Amar Singh is a master at this game!!!
Allegations said he owned thousands such Companies but none are on his name!
 
Sorry Mohna you seem to be at sea on this one!!!
‘Haathi nikal gaya and Mohna is after a hair on the tail’ is my pun!!!
 
How can corruption be tackled when even asset declaration is a joke???
Now just see Pawar the shaana (sly) bloke!!!
 
He roams about in the latest cars but in his asset declaration he does not own one!
In a very ingenious 'this dodging the system' is done!!
 
Do these declarations truly show their assets…… no way!!!!
What they declare is ‘only tip of iceberg’ those in the know say!!!
 
This joke gives an insight…. in Mumbai Pawar was in a car with his aide!!!
He saw a building and liked it so much that to buy it there itself his mind was made!
 
He asked his aide to find out who the building belonged to,
Aide smiled and said ‘ sir it already belongs to you and the two buildings behind it too’!
 
Diggy says Batla House encounter was a fake one!!!
For garnering more majority minority votes this is being done!!
 
To counter rampant inflation outfall Congress has gone into majority minority overdrive!
Now to capture more and more votes of this vote bank karr rahi hai Congress strive!!
 
The Congress feels the majority minority will put their faith before their paapi pett!!!
And that is why Congress is in a majority minority appeasement overdrive of late!!

Congress's take is majority minority will put religion above inflation's soc!!!
This is the hallmark of Prophet Mohamad's flock!!
 
Because for Muslims religion comes right at the top...even above paapi pett!!!!
Religion at the very top they rate!!
 
Congress has to make up for the votes its losing because of inflation!!!
Though Pawar’s responsible but it’s perceived to be Congress’s creation!!
 
In NREGA a Rs. 850 crore leak has been detected!!!
And in some places the beneficiaries are being selected!
 
It’s being alleged that in NREGA there is dhaandli of mind blowing proportion!
The ‘managers’ are keeping major portion!!
 
After food inflation now will the medium used to cook also rocket!!!
It’s being said very soon gas and kerosene will also burn holes in the pocket!!
 
Petrol and Diesel price revisions are also on Sarkaar’s mind!!!
So when the going gets tough for Public this Sarkaar becomes unkind!!
 
Had this Sarkaar done something concrete to curb inflation then some hikes were justified!
But now any hike is unjustified!!!
 
This Sarkaar’s own fuel consumption wipes out half of what ONGC produces!!
It’s high time its fuel bill Sarkaar reduces!

Mohna's take is ' let us take some tough decisions now'!!
Take tough decisions now and prior to next general elections to public sentiment bow!

Mohna feels ' Public toh bachche hai ..... mana lenge'!!!
Prior to polls inn bachchon ke lolipop de denghe!! 

Sharukh Khan will ultimately eat the humble pie!!!
Indian pride ko kiya iss dolt ne defy!!!
 
He can tweet or get paid damsels masquerading as his fan club to protest!!!
But fact is general public karti hai his siding with Pakis detest!

Balasahib has his fingers crossed that against him or Sena Sarkaar will take action!
For Sena Balasahib feels this will be a huge 'vote attraction'!!

And if this takes place Sharukh might as well shift base!!!!
Dilli or hear he has in Dubai in The Palms a very nice place (home)!!!!
 
Is Big B moving towards BJP….. seems so????
‘A’ Gang is spreading out…Amar's in limbo, Big B into BJP and Anil into Congress will go!
 
They say there is one door left for Amar to knock!!!
Very soon desperate Amar on Jaya’s Poes Garden gate could be clanging the lock!
 
Congress reminded Amar of the dustbin and now he says SP used him as a dustbin,
Have you heard anyone putting money dustbin ke in????
 
Confucius says…. Nowadays seeing Amar many Netas say ‘bhaago Amar Singh aaya’!!!
That is why they say in bad times chodh jaatha hai saath apna hi chaaya!!
 
Flash..... Congress said Balasahib is satkela and Sena's said Rahul is desperate!!
As below the belt both comments I would rate!
 
Can they fight without hitting under the belt!!!
Each other with such statments why do they have to 'pelt'!
 
And seems Congress has decided to woo the majority minority all the way!!
'Every action has an equal and opposite reaction' they say!!
 
So maybe Congress's wooing will get the majority irked!!!
And BJP would take false credit and say 'our strategy worked'!!!
 
This shameless appeasement could end up akin to Congress hitting its wicket!!!
Player doing so is declared out and has to leave the playing field in cricket!!

WHO WILL BE THE QUEEN’S CHOICE FOR PRIME MINISTER AFTER DR. MANMOHAN SINGH?

None other than her son Rahul Gandi because she cannot trust any one else except M M Singh who is a non political person.
nilakshi bora dehakon@gmail.com

There are many but I think she might have a special look for Chidambaram.
Neelie nl.ry@rediffmail.com
Rahul Gandhi
The next PM after Dr MM Singh.
It is a good way to know the mood of the people

Governors are a liability !
Governors in our country are given huge perks costing the tax payers tremendous strain. Firstly old persons are appointed who are hardly in good health. Then what return they are giving to the people for the huge expenditure incurred on them. On top of everything, what is the punishment for the erring Governors like ND Tewari who, unlike an ordinary citizen, has escaped any punishment for allegedly misusing Raj Bhawan. Who is responsible for letting him go scotfree. Who will answer the taxpayers ?

Shiv Sena – biggest nuisance
Shiv Sena is turning out to be biggest headache for Maharashtra and India. It is detrimental to the cause of Marathimaanus. It should change its name from Shiv Sena to Marathi Sena or Thackeray Sena. Sooner they are brought to book would be better for society and country at large. Maharashtra government should either perform or leave the office. Further, central Government can't escape its responsibility. It owes an explanation to people of India.

The words of Thackeray have actually polluted the warm atmosphere in Mumbai. Is Thackeray a social reformer, politician or a distinguished personality. No absolutely not. Mumbai is a part and parcel of this great nation. All Indians are proud of this city. The entire society, desirous for harmony and peace, must protest this unfair attitude. Do not forget the contribution of hundreds of thousands of people for the development of this metro from outside the Mubai. Ha Kastum thanne.

Bal Thackeray is a fascist
I fully support AK Saxena's tirade against Bal Thackeray. He has levelled wild charges against SRK and Aamir Khan and is now targetting Rahul Gandhi. According to my information, Bal Thackeray is a talibani agent on the pay-rolls of the ISI. His assignment is only to create problems in India through his verbal diarrhoea. This is subject to verification by the CBI, Income Tax, Enforcement Directorate. and the IB. May I request the Government of India to carry out investigations into Thackeray's assets and the source of his funding and inform the public.

It is not true
This is with reference to your new item on DG ICFRE. It is not true that we oppose non technical people. Being a scientists I would like to say that we want a good IFS or any capable person DG who is Ph.D and had worked in research. We had opposed the seniority concept just to accommodate people in ICFRE. The last DG came through back door by his seniority and no contribution and simply did glob trotting and failed the institution badly. Competent IFS officer will always be welcome. In the recent meeting taken by Jairam Ramesh we found that 300 IFS are Ph.Ds but only people like Katwal and Kishwan are chosen who make merry and go away. We want merit to be recognized.
