They say donations to BSP have risen 30 fold in the past 3 years!!
And may rise to 50 fold before BSP’s term's end nears!!
 
Maybe BSP’s making more Members,
And then Maya’s diktat every one remembers!!
 
‘Give me your money’ was her chant!!!!
And we know when Bhenji asks no BSP Member can say ‘ I can’t’!!
 
Without a doubt there is credence to Congress’s laundering claim!!!
But then for this Congress is to blame!!!
 
Because Congress is the fountainhead of money in politics!!!
So Congress needs to think before on BSP it picks!!
 
It’s a widespread malaise and affects the entire political domain!!
Coming to power means ‘money ki rain’!!!
 
Maya says ‘ I take it openly and Congress takes it behind closed doors’!!
And on Congress’s taking there are so many folklores!!
 
And then Congress is taking Maya’s support in Dilli!!
So Congress pointing fingers at BSP looks and sounds silly!!!
 
Maya has tried every trick in the book to occupy India’s centerstage!!
But hardly any headway she’s made!!
 
And after the next UP State election she’ll be having a lot on her mind!!
Out of power she’ll be hoping that to her statues the next UP Sarkaar will be kind!
 
What’s happening on Bundelkhand and Harit Pradesh????
On carving up UP Congress is giving mixed sandesh!!!
 
Maya wants it, Ajit Singh is dying for it and Mulayam’s in a fix!!
He feels the creation of these two States would mean SP would be hit for a 6!!
 
Congress’s think tank is still in ‘thinking mode’!!!
What’s got them worried is ‘ Maya for creation of States karr rahi hai goad’!
 
Ghadkari is now siezed with 'portfolio' allocation!!!
He has to balance within BJP 'the power equation'!
 
Two spoons of Advani Camp, one spoon of Rajnath Camp and so on!!!
Like a seasoned cook he'll try to get the job done!
 
I feel on BJP he's a cruel joke!!!!
For this job he's an unfit bloke!
 
BJP's going in for Cut Motions on the Finance Bill!!
Maybe in the end you may end up paying less when 'your tanks you fill'!!
 
BJP + Commies + SP + RJD and a angry Mamtha could spell trouble for Congress!
For some time Congress will be in stress!!
 
In the Women's Quota Bill too there could be some tweaking!!
Rumored that 'backroom' mein on this with Congress Laloo is speaking!
 
Mohna has revaluated Indian lives and cap in Nuke Civil Liability is being raised!!
And then Madam will appraised!!!!
 
Madam they say is not too happy with this Bill and she feels it'll create a din!!!
Opposition Sarkaar ko karr sakthi hai pin!
 
Grain is rotting and after an expose Pawar jaaga!!!
But then this is our Nation's saga!!
 
Sarkaar prefers to let grains rot!!
Than distribute the grains to the hungry lot!!
 
If a quality audit is done of FCI's foodgrain stock!!!
The results will shock!!
 
More than a quarter of the foodgrians humans cannot eat!!
Be it rice or wheat!!
 
Confucius says.....andher nagri chaupat raaj!!
Rather than distributing to the poor they prefer rot ho jaye anaaj!!

What about CBI cadre officers ?
We are hearing quite a lot from CPO officers here, regarding promotion avenues vis a vis IPS officers. But what about the CBI cadre officers, who are directly recruited as DSP's? Only 40% of SP level posts are available to them, only 25% of DIG level posts, and only 20 percent of IGP level posts. There is no question of there being any Additional Directors from CBI Group 'A' civil service cadre (who are recruited through the UPSC civil services exam, no less!). Shouldn’t the CBI group A cadre have better prospects too? All CPO officers become at least DIG. Almost no CBI officers become the same.
-A concerned citizen.

Dissatisfaction amongst CPO officers
The CPOs officers are not trying to draw any comparisons with Army. Army and CPOS are totally different and both their service conditions as well as emolument packages are different. The statement that the CPO officers become DIG in 20 years is absolutely wrong. Most of them pick up this rank after putting in 27 or 28 years of service and then stagnate there for rest of their careers.

Freezing off ?
When cooling off for voluntary retirement is increased to five years, it should be called freezing off!

What a joke?
I accept the views that Steno Gr D & C are still in a dark room. No future after serving 20-25 years as grade 'D". Just Rs. 200 or more as grade pay. DoPT still preparing 84 select list.

It is extremely unfortunate that even after having a competent and judicious Home Minister committed to internal security, the sentinels of peace 9000 group A officers of central paramilitary are suffering. It is these officers who are responsible for leading 10 lakh personnel on field sacrificing their lives and comforts and not handful of IPS officers sitting in headquarters and calling shots and misguiding the HM on policy matters. If HM is serious in his mission, it is prudent that he calls officers of paramilitary and address their grievances and gives their dues before it is too late. He should not remain oblivious and complacent on these issues. Recent incidents in BSF need to be taken seriously. All is not well as being projected by these IPS officers who have led J&K, Chhattisgarh, Jharkand and North East to their present condition.

Misuse of Telephone
Worked for four decades in Central Government in 3-4 Ministries. On an average, 75% of telephone use in Government offices is for private purposes. Everybody in Government knows this. Difficult, if not impossible, to control this.
