Anderson saga

Yes it is outrageous to link Anderson with Rajiv!!!
But it is equally preposterous to say that out of this matter Rajiv ko karro leave!!
 
Looking at the status of High Command in Congress!!
And viewing the importance of this issue ‘the button no one else but PM could press’!
 
Congress can go blue in the face but truth is if Rajiv did not give the ‘yes’!!!
Then Congress is in an even bigger mess!
 
 
But Congress is hell bent on trying to make us believe the unbelievable!!!
Such a vital decision and PM’s okay was not taken is not believable!!
 
For all you know tomorrow Congress will blame the High Commission in USA!
The High Commissioner arbitrarily gave this commitment Congress will say!!
 
High Commissioner does not have the power to assure safe passage on his own!
On such matters PM has to take the call and this is well known!!
 
Or maybe Congress will say Rajiv was on the learning curve!!!
Because as PM he had just started to serve!!!
 
 
And there’s nothing from Ghadkari!!
Seems he’s too busy cooking and eating ‘andhaa curry’!!
 
It is not good manners to eat when one’s mouth is full!!
So he keeps his mouth full to excuse himself from giving Congress a mouthful!
 
It’s really sad that there is no Opposition to take UPA to task!!!!
A vibrant Opposition would do everything possible to ‘unmask’!!!
 
Deregulation of Petrol prices and now of saving rate!!!!
Without putting in controls deregulation would meet a disastrous fate!!
 
See what happened to Commodity Trading!!!!
Controls were not put in place and literally neck deep in ‘fixing’ this trading is wading!
 
Ex Bull Ketan Dalal made a killing in commodity trades!!!
And in front of the money he made in these trades money he made in stocks fades!
 
I’m told Pawar via his front Companies is heavily invested in commodities ad stocks!!
Rule of ‘Insider trading ‘ he blatantly mocks!!
 
Confucius says… Pawar for UPA is like The Holy Cow!!!
Getting his gob fixed he’s in US now!!
 
Adds…… And I was told it’s a two in one visit!!!
Medical and his account books from ‘land of the Yodel  he will re-visit!!

It is not in the hands of Civil servents to get their children admitted in Civil services.  The candidate should have not only knowledge (real 'gyan') but also right aptitude for the highest job in the Govt and also he will have to pass written exam and also interview.  If they are indeed competent, they compete with all other candidates and get selected..  There are such cases like menon (Ex foreign Secretary and currently NSA), Mr Nath( Son of late S.Nath's, MP Cadre). There are several such examples.
