WHISPERS' IMPACT
'Whispers' on our website whispersinthecorridors.com are taken very seriously by the Government, which takes adequate steps to plug loopholes or shortcomings in policy matters, if any. The investigations into the 2G spectrum Scam and role of a lobbyist, that is under scanner is an ample proof of the impact of whispersinthecorridors.com. A small news item published on our web site earlier about the lobbyist caught the attention of the government. While the news item did not name the industrial house or the lobbyist, the investigating agencies still took cognizance of the news item and started the investigations into it, which is on record now.

Aaj Ki Aawaz

Bihar's Public has shown it's moved on!!!
This is the message to Laloo , Sonia and Sonia's son!!

All that Laloo, Sonia and Rahul did in this election was damn Nitish Kumar!
And in the end RJD and Congress ko padh gayi maar!!

Despite Nitish's BJP connection Muslims voted from Nitish!!!
Because Nitish does not follow Congress's policy which Congress aped from the British!

And that is keep communities, religions, castes fighting with each other!!
People tend to forget other issues in such kind of gudder ( chaos)!!

I'm sure had Congress done some groundwork on what Public does want!!
Then such a defeat nahi karti Congress ko haunt!!

Now Congress is trying to deflect the shame by saying ' we are starting from scratch'!!!
On this I am sure apne heads Public karr rahe hai scratch!!

Because rather than improving marginally Congress has been cut further in size!!
Yes Congress could have used this 'starting from scratch' excuse if its seat share did rise!

And Congress is perceived to have let Laloo off the hook!!!
Because Laloo's side Congress tacitly took!!

So people feel Congress and Laloo are both bad news!!!
And dono ka bulb karr diya fuse!!

Poor Jananki Natrajan was ordered to do the mopping up on TV talk shows!!
And her being totally out of sync with the results clearly shows!!

Now again Congress's friendly News Channels have started their 'wolf cry'!!!
To create a wedge between JD (U) and BJP karr rahe hai try!!

Modi coming to Bihar has cropped up again!!!
Nitish is at the helm and he's committed to harmony and under him this is Bihar's biggest gain!

Yes Congress and Laloo will try to whip up sentiments if Modi does come!!
But I am sure the Public's response will be ek dum kumm (less)!!

Yes IBN's Rajdeep and NDTV's Barkah will get an oppurtunity to scream and shout!
But thankfully dono ki apni reputation is in doubt!!

In Bihar BJP's got bouquets and in Karnataka egg on its face!!!!
Because of its weak Leadership in Delhi BJP is not being able to use on Yeddy 'the mace'!!

They say Yeddy's blackmail has worked!!!
And that is how his prospects to remain CM perked!!

If not today then tommorrow Yeddy will be ejected!!!
Because when it comes to 'scandals' he never lets his opponenets get dejected!!

Sonia says Mohna is 100% honest!!!
Chalo Mohna has passed Sonia's honesty test!!!!

But Sonia's test is more to do with Mohna's commitment to her ' not to take over'!!
She still has nightmares about how Narsimha Rao made her run for cover!!

Mohna has often sided with the dishonest on Sonia's orders!!!
On dishonesty this borders!!!!

Yes he's been honest with Madam and obeyed her diktat!!!
And put his own honesty on the mat!!!

Because people do say ' if he's honest how come he sides with the dishonest'????
Madam Ji and Moni ji sorry for being so honest!!

Confucius says…… What do you think people saw when they saw Mohna placing on Raja's shoulder his haath?????
All those who feel in her analysis on Mohna was Sonia being honest raise your haath???

Adds... my perception is not many a hand will rise!!
Himself Mohna has cut his stature ka size!!

What's the hitch in questioning Barkha Dutt and Vir Sanghvi ?

Will the ED and CBI please question Padma Shri Kumari Barkha Dutt, and Vir Sanghvi, as to why they were promising to fix the deal for various interests in the recent 2G scam? The public would certainly like to know what other misdemeanours they have been up to? Why should media be immune, if they are the ones who will point out various scams?
