Anderson saga

Every day a new twist comes out in the Anderson story!!!
And every twist makes Congress look even more sorry!!

Now its come out that Anderson was given a guarantee!!
When he came to India ‘first hand to see’!!

Guarantee of safe passage to return to USA was given to Andy the Gas Man!!
So he came into India and then out he ran!!

And if Congress denies this then why did Anderson say???
That he was free to go back to USA!

Fact is India buckled under pressure from Uncle Sam!!!!
Country of Liberty and Justice is just a sham!!

US is the global bully!!!
And justice is only an American right and others are just gajar mooli!

Sadly Opposition in India has neutered itself!!!
Like from a giant today the main Opposition Party is more like an elf!!

Third Front has disintegrated!!
As only for the General Election it was created!!

A strong Opposition is a must in a Democratic setup!!!!
To question the Government it is the duty of the Opposition to get up!!

Speaking of Opposition….. back into BJP the prodigals return!!
After Jaswant now it is Uma’s turn!!

Though some say Uma’s return will not be easy!!
As Leaders in MP BJP to her return are queasy!!

Ram Jethamalani aka Ramu aka Jethu has made it to the Upper House!!
Rebellion in BJP’s Rajasthan Unit BJP was able to douse!!

Moneybags Mallya too ‘bought’ his way into Upper House!!
Gowda’s thirst 'King of good times' was able to ‘douse’!!

Montek is back to his fuel price hike!!!!
The man has sheer capitalism imprinted in his psyche!!

When was the last time he paid his fuel bill!!
With Sarkaari paisa his Sarkaari car ka tank hotha hai fill!!

Confucius says…. Government needs to re-look at duties and taxes
levied on fuel!!
And also realize that rocketing inflation ko fuel price rise will
provide rocket fuel!!

This refers to "Arun Bal is joining the Government of India as Joint Secretary Defence this week. He is an IAS officer of the 1986 batch who belongs to the West Bengal cadre." 1986 batch officers of the Armed Forces have barely reached the ranks of Colonel and equivalant who the bureacrates have pegged at directors
level. The joint secy equivalant would be equivalant to Maj Gen as dictated by the bureaucrates! Is there any justifaction, morally, humanly or functionally for such a
desparity to exist when both will have to work together in the same ministry?

Is not such a system responsible for creating an atmosphere of mistrust, maladjustment and rendering the system disfunctional by creating such massive ineqalities and desparities ? What is so special about IAS that he sprints up the ladder and other are made to crawl? "Creation of a cadre of loyalist" one may say. But is that a national requirement? Wouldn't such system end up creating more disloyal people than the number of loyals ? What is more beneficial politically , socially and psychologically? More and more loyals or only IAS loyals ? Congress leadership may ponder over it for the benefit of a good
social order!
