Aaj Ki Aawaz

Hussein Ali is based in Maharashtra State!!

I feel he is more Pawar and Praful's mate!!

Had he been Congress's pal only NCP would have shouted from roof tops!

It is for self preservation that NCP stops!!

Against all odds Thomas continues!!!

Despite all that has come out in the news!!

Sarkaar can remove him on grounds 'prejudiced for financial of other interests'!!

Congress says to remove him with SC the power rests!!

And when will Mohna clarify on why was Thomas made the CVC despite his past???

On Thomas doubts very clearly Sushma did cast!!

Though Sarkaar has tried to befool Nation by saying Mohna was not in the know!!

I'm sure many would join me in saying ' Is that so'????

In yesterday's conversion rate I've been questioned why I did not include Praful's name!!

Because it is said to 'make' Praful and Pawar are just the same!!

Now it's said he's been telling everyone!!!

His charge of Heavy Industries is temporary and he and Pawar are one!!

Though some time back he had shown clear indication of a shift towards Congress!!

In fact he had said this even to someone from the Press!!

The reason for his change of mind is pretty obvious or clear!!!

It is on account of his future prospects tinged with fear!!

He's dabbled in everything under the sun.... from tobacco to Palmolin oil!!!

His change of mind was partly due to fear of a 'recoil'!!

Hope Madam has recovered!!!!

Come winter and asthmatics should take precautions and keep themselves properly covered!

What she was reading in bed is still a matter of public interest???

Because then only will it put the 'prospects of another emergency rumor' to rest!!

But if there is another Emergency who will play Sanjay Gandhi's role!!!

Rahul cannot as when it comes to him and Sanjay he's from South and Sanjay from North pole!

I think Kamalnath and Tytler both have ruthless streaks and could take on important roles!!

Both already have blood of innocents on their hands and dead souls!!

Confucius says..... History repeats itself but hope Emergency ke maamle mein this does not take place!

India's Democracy is already being doubted and Emergency would make it totally loose face!

Adds..... Looking at what UPA is doing for self preservation!!!!

People do ask ' is India really a Democratic Nation'????

Flash....... The Dollar is getting stronger!!!!

Is India lucrative for the FIIs..... no longer????

Only an Amnesty can save the Indian Rupee!!!!

Otherwise in the nearabouts of 47-48 to the Dollar the Indian Rupee experts see!!!

Its being said Gold will trip!!!

Up to now Gold has been on 'its own trip'!!!!

Oil seems to be in a good mood!!

And the World is in for shortages of food!!!!

So when Bulls say another Bull run is coming!!!

Jhoot bolle crow bites tune you should start humming!!!

A tour to capital city of Jaipur by Sanjeev Majupuria Editor & Country Head of whispersinthecorridors.com showed that Ashok Gehlot has been able to achieve so much because he has a team of motivated and dedicated

DEBATE

Rahul Gandhi reminds us of Rajiv Gandhi and Nehruji. He is the icon for the youth of this country. The old guard of various opposition parties do not like him and carry out propaganda against him but the propaganda is unlikely to succeed. The youth adore him for his humility, humaneness, good intentions, capability, integrity and soundness.

Arjun Mallik

Dos - Have courage and patience to hear frank criticism on your face. Do nots-Coterie around.

S C Poddar

Rahul Gandhi is doing a good job by visiting Indian states. In my personal view, he should be camping in Congress-ruled States more often and provide 100% employment to the youth, zero corruption in the administration and set an example for non-congress ruled states to follow. Spending more time in other than his own constituency and non-congress ruled states may not pay back in long run.

G B Singh

Resign for causing a national disgrace

Manmohan Singh, P.Chidambaram and P.J.Thomas should jointly tender their resignations to the President of India for causing a national disgrace.

D Choudhury

Why can't CSSS personnel hold the fort at DoPT ?

Can redressal be decided by somebody whose interest is affected? Obvious, the answer is NO. Then how and why service matters of CSSS should be considered/decided by CSS.

S Gosain

Don't wash inter-cadre rivalry in public

RP Agrawal's English is nice. He should not wash his inter-cadre rivalry in the public. As the matter is sub-judice. Have patience. Before pelting stones at other's abode, one should look at his own.

Anyway, to me it looks like, the historical Imperial Civil Service (comprising of DR-CSS, Asstt Level-CSS, CSSS and CSCS - their direct recruitment, ltd. departmental examinees and promotees) was ill-concieved, born prematurely and at odd hours and has grown inappropriately and weak. Through-out its history, it has grown fighting amongst its siblings and cousins. GOD BLESS the Service and its incumbents.

Well-wisher

Why not raise the issue of pay disparity ?

Why should not the people raise the issue of pay disparity brought in by 6th Pay Commission and other Pay Commissions. If officer/official of a servie has been put to disadvantage he has right to raise the issue in any forum available. Has the IAS has descended from Brahmaji's mouth that he should get two extra increments on every promotion.

Sanjeev Kr Singh

Greed knows no bounds

It is heartening to know that Finally realisation has dawned among the people that Corruption transcends religion/caste/community. It had become an established norm to blame those from the reserved category for inefficiency, corruption and what not. Now it's there for all to see. Greed has no religion, no caste, no community, no region. It afflicts all. For example, look at the way the poor tribals are deprived of their livelihood and by whom, its all clear.

Wake up - CSS officials have taken entire government machinery to ransom !

This is regarding a complaint appearing in these columns against Secretary (OL) by some disgruntled CSS official's posted in OL Department. Can they tell why Secretary is against them. There must be some reason. Have they ever tried to seek their grievances sorted out by talking to her. If not, why? and Why they people are playing Dalit card against her? It is known that Lady secretary working there is very tough task master and she wants these people to deliver and these people are willfully defying her dictates. If she wants the people to work, why don't you people work? These officials are sitting over the cadre restructuring case of official language cadre for more than last six years. While they themselves have got their cadre restructuring twice ie. in 2003 and 2008 and their third cadre restructuring is due in 2013. But these people will not let other cadres to get reviewed. Situation has become so worse in OL Dept. that in another pay parity case, verdict given by Hon.CAT in Translators favour is not being implemented by these people simply out of grudge & illwill and if some upright officer cracks whip against these hard to move officials belonging to CSS cadre and working in OL Dept., they go to sites like whispers to vent out their anger against upright Officers like present secretary OL. Some (not all)of these CSS officials have taken entire government machinery to ransom. It is high time to see that they don't degrade other cadres out of whims and fancies. It is time to check their nefarious designs. If they can accuse secretary(OL), and remain unpunished, tomorrow they will malign other upright officers. Many cadres such as audit & official language cadre are suffering because these people are at the helm of affair in the respective offices. Situation in Ol dept. of GOI is really bad and needs immediate attention.

Dalit Awaaz?

Secretary (OL) must be immediately shunted back to her UP cadre to receive lessons from Behn Mayawati on good behaviour with dalit officers. Why MHA and NCSC are not taking action on Dalit representations?
