Aaj Ki Aawaz

'Price rises' are pouring and India’s ‘bus driver’ is snoring!!!
Indians inflation is goring!!
 
There's a rhyme that goes 'its raining and pouring and the bus driver is snoring'!!
His duty as a Bus Driver he's ignoring!!
 
If I recall our Bus Driver had predicted a fall in inflation!!!
Made a budhu of the Nation!!
 
In this Bus India Bus Driver Mohna was ably assisted by Montek!!!
Like Mohna he too had the same ‘inflation will fall’ take!!!
 
Mohna ji inflation is hurting and you lied to us!!!
UPA ko because of inflation Aam Aadmi sure does cuss!!
 
Sonia Madam knows this but she’s now in ‘define mode’!!!!
She’s working on defining 'Aam Aadmi' code??
 
This is her lollipop in the Aam Aadmi’s gob!!!!
‘To define who need help Sonia Madam is on the job’!!!
 
Montek needs to get his upper storey tested!!!
Or he’s worked too hard and so he’s tired and needs to be rested!!
 
The Government should set a cut off date for food grain storage!!
Near Expiry Food grains should be distributed when inflation does rage!
 
In FCI godowns food grains are allowed to rot!!!!
Wasted away or ‘as animal feed' rotting grains are bought’!!
 
Montek’s take that free distribution will hurt the farmer is a figment of his ‘mind’!!!
Always against ‘any kind of subsidy’ Montek you will find!!!
 
On Obama’s stand on outsourcing why is Mohna not saying ‘unfair’!!!!
Or maybe Mohna feels what Obama says is fair!!
 
Or maybe Obama’s taken Mohna into confidence!!!!
Or maybe Mohna on account of ‘ongoing power struggle in Congress’ is too tense!!
 
Too tense to bother about Obama’s ‘outsourcers will get no tax breaks’ declaration!!
After all his electoral vow was ‘job creation’!!
 
Kalmadi is now taking Journalists on a sanitized tour of CWG facilities!!
His being allowed to ‘hoodwink’ is one of the biggest pities!!
 
He pleads with them ‘achcha achcha karro report’!!!!
A lot is being held up by ‘band aids’ is an inside report!!
 
And OC has already got a list of excuses ready when any ‘fall apart’ takes place!!!!
To save face and shift blame Kalmadi and gang will race!!!
 
Omar has time and again proved conclusively he’s not fit to be the CM!!!
Clumsy Minister is how many decipher his being the CM!!!
 
He comes to Delhi oft nowadays!!!
And usually does not fly back as to Party at night in Delhi he stays!!
 
Increase Army presence and at the same time come down hard on Army’s transgressions!
Yes bring in internal accountability in AFSPA that’s causing tensions!!
 
How about an independent ‘watchdog’ that keeps a watchful eye????
To ensure that 'justice' Army is not able to defy or deny!!
 
Confucius says …….Army presence in the Valley is a must!!
But make Army accountable for 'greed and lust'!!! 

Bharat Kumar

Why was it a smooth sail for Subhash Kumar in Uttarakhand?
Why it was a smooth sail for Subhash Kumar as far as his appointment as new Chief Secretary of Uttarakhand was concerned. He is an IAS officer of 1977 batch who belongs to the Uttarakhand cadre. It was quite easy because Ms. Vibha Puri Das of 1976 batch had earlier on
central deputation joined from Uttarakhand as HRD Secretary. Then there were two more IAS officers of the 1977 batch above Subhash Kumar. They are: Ajay Joshi and S.K. Mattu. However, Joshi had returned from Uttar Pradesh cadre one year back while Mattu was mostly
on central deputation. As it is Mattu has been posted on a newly created post as Delhi based Chief Resident Commissioner (CRC) with the Uttarkhand government. So, Subhash Kumar’s was a natural choice for Uttarakhand Chief Minister Dr.  Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank.

Welcome to Rahul Gandhi Colony!
Some people are really ingenious, deft and very agile. They move with the speed of light! They grab the opportunity before most of us posting at WIC even grasp what is going on. So, the Rahul Gandhi Colony is a developed colony, that has grown to a beauteous youth in less than 7 years(flat as they say in discount advertisements!).I am aware of one only, but am sure there will be many more. Only the surfers of WIC can bring this information for public knowledge. We remember the days when Sanjay Gandhi/Maneka Gandhi colonies cropped up overnight, followed later by Rajiv & Sonia Vihars & colonies. But this one is the best. As I found it interesting, I became a little curious to know more about it. I learnt that the person (coloniser) was a politician, who has occupied government land but will get it regularised. A bit of prodding revealed that he still has a few "plots" and can "oblige" if gets the right price. To the query regarding government taking it over, he proffered "guarantee". The deal might have gone through but for a call from Dr Suresh Mehrotra to send him the post on the subject immediately, which compelled me to hurry back to the HQs!

All salutations to IRS officers
Only they actually know and carry out personally work at the grass root level, unlike IAS officers whom file and all information is sent from officials of secretariat cadre. IRS, admittedly not given perks and facilities commensurate to their performance and contributions they make to get Indian economy strengthened. If IRS do not collect, where from various ministries and departments would get fund to make expenditure?
Surendra Mishra

Work together
Why is everybody in the forum against IAS? .Infact every service has its own importance. Better to work together.

Congratulations

Contribution of others should not be forgoytten
No doubt our army has been called again and again in internal insurgencies. But one thing also should not be forgotten. Contributions of state police and CPMFs should not be undermined. Not only army had fought in Punjab but ultimately when local police was strengthened and free hand given by politicians, then only it was totally defeated. In Andhra, only when state police was strengthened and political will was there, Maoists insurgency was defeated. In J&K, we are less then fair if we are ignoring role of local police, CPMFs , SPOs. Again in Mizoram, insurgency was controlled because of political will and strengthening of local police. The problem is of political will ( as army knows it now when there is talk of diluting AFSPA. At least they can take some stand on it, luxury which is not with state police of CPMFs and investment in police by state governments. People who have not worked in state police cant know how state police fights with limited resources, poor training and hands tied. Bihar does not have a training centre for its officers yet( proposal pending in home department since many years). There is total of 11 lakh vacancies in state police. Sanctioned strength of many state police forces have not been increased since 1971 , commensurate with population. 197 Subdivisional officers do not have offices to sit. Same is the case with CPMFs. although much is desired for increasing their training but they also stay and fight in very poor infrastructure and again it is provided by state governments. Our Indian army is more professional but other organizations are not weak by choice rather they are by design. And true nature of naxalism should be understood before strategising. Iam damm sure that even Indian army cannot fight them without AFSPA. They will also keep on fighting their front organizations and organizations of mass movements, civil rights in courts, human rights commission, media, tribal commission etc rather then in field.
