Aaj Ki Aawaz

Pawar says Agri Ministry is not responsible for inflation!!
Fact is his Ministry is not only responsible for inflation but India’s Food Security degradation!
 
If his Ministry was not responsible then why did he time and again say ‘prices will rise’!!
His take that Agri Ministry is not responsible for price rise I’m sure no one buys!!
 
There are rumours that ‘Consumer Affairs’ will be taken away from Pawar!!!!
To save its image Congress ka waar!!!
 
I’m sure had a Congressman been the Agri Minister and did what Pawar has done!!!!
He’d have been shunted out and 'in' his political career would have been done!!
 
Rather than its empty protests Opposition should take out a White Paper on Pawar’s black deeds!
And mind you they have ample leads!!!
 
After all Netas do have info on each other’s hay making!!!
They know where and how much each one of them is making and taking!!!
 
Expose Pawar because he’s hit at the Aam Aadmi’s ‘paapi pett’!!!!
And seal this dolt’s fate!!!
 
He shammed his way out of the  Red Wheat import scam!!
And now ‘Agri Ministry is not responsible for inflation’ is his new sham!!!!
 
Sharukh feels India has slighted Paki Cricketers...news nahi padhta/suntha hai kya?
To a Nation that says it cannot stop 26/11 kind of attacks why this daya?????
 
Or does Sharukh believe in Pakis ‘non State actors’ lie?????
And why is he blabbing when his own team KKR ne koi Paki cricketer nahi kiya buy!!
 
Did his team even bid for a Paki player……. no…. so why the sour taste in his gob?????
Abh kyon karr raha hai Sharukh Khan ‘sob’!!!!
 
Is he scared that his movies could be boycotted by his community?????
All of a sudden Paki players pe kyon aa rahi hai Sharukh ko pity????
 
Cricket cannot be above the Nation,
In fact on what the IPL Teams did in the Nation there is elation!!!!
 
Amar Singh has a new terminology ‘ graceful coordination’ or backdoor support!!
And he plans to give this to Congress as per a report!!!
 
Amar and grace have always been at odds ek doosre ke saath!!!!
And after giving backdoor support to Congress he’ll bite ‘the haath’!!!!
 
Amar Singh will never gain the prominence he had as Mulayam’s bhonpoo!!!!
From the loud noise the bhonpoo use to emit now it’s just a phuss poo poo!!
 
Ghadkari says he’s not a puppet and to RSS he can say ‘no’!!!!
How independent he is we all sure do know!!!
 
After making this statement he must have called Bhagwat,
And pleaded ‘ I’m your bhagat’!!!
 
Shivraj my advice to you is keep at least 100 metres away from every Darzi (tailor)!!!
And if you want to leave a mark as Chandigarh’s Administrator ‘chalao apni marzi’!!!!
 
And your marzi should be based on what’s good for Chandigarh!!!!
Start working on getting ‘employment engines for Chandigarh ‘dhada dhad’!!!!
 
You must hasten Chandigarh’s development pace!!
And for this you will have to keep the local MP, Advisor and MC  ‘in place’!!!!
 
For this year’s Republic Day Parade they should send a pair of thermals with the invitation!!!!
Assurance of a hot water bottle on every seat would be cause for elation!!
 
Confucius says…. Happy Republic Day to all Indians except Pawar!!!!
On India’s food security and on Indians kiya hai Pawar ne ‘ghatak waar’!!!

PAWAR (Food Crises) + PRIME MINISTER (Inflation) = Death of Common Man
Your article on Pawar is published with his name and not the UPA. The PM is responsible for all this mess by making Pawar again the food minister of the country. It is regrettable that the PM has awaken just now to unparallel rise in prices of essential commodities. He is probably the first PM in India who has given the statement that prices will rise while Sharad Pawar is the worst agriculture minister of the free India. But he is not to be blamed for such statements as he himself belongs to sugar lobby which is taking full advantage of his position as a central minister. In the olden days, once during small price rise then chief minsiter of Punjab, Pratap Singh Kairon gave some bold statement about the arrival of imported wheat and in no time the prices started coming to normal. But alas, even this weak Prime Minister is so afraid of corporate sector that he is not even able to make such statement. God save the poor and helpless people of this country as there is no one to raise their voice
Kusum Khanna

From Minister to PMO
Nation is becoming aware about the fact that the administration of this country is being run by a simple clerk (LDC/UDC) in a Ministry. If a mistake has occurred on account of the dealing Assistant it is being carried up to the level of the Minister as there are no checks . A dealing assistant is making or marring the career and other decisions in the Ministries. All levels appear to take so high salaries just for nothing . Dealing assistants notes are being simply signed by the higher echelons in the Ministries . Somebody previously in the Whispers had pointed out this about Telecom Ministry also where decisions are being taken at the level of clerks and rest all are rubber stamps only . Lower level staff are being compelled by their officers for such happenings as higher officers shun their responsibility. Officers do not follow the rules . Where the maximum levels of submissions should be reduced to three . One can see upto 7-9 levels exist in the same noting just for the formality signing machines and the result is before you in today’s advertisement for which the whole bureaucracy of the Nation has to cut a sorry figure .
These are shameful affairs in our bureaucracy.
