Aaj Ki Aawaz

Without a doubt BJP needs to replace Yeddy!!! BJP cannot and should not allow this 'nangaa naach of corruption' to go on!! And if BJP chooses to overlook Justice Hegde's report then it should stop pointing fingers at UPA's acts of corruption!!! Yes knowing BJP they'll make it into a numerical issue..... say Hegde calculates the loss at Rs. 1800 crores whereas the scams of UPA go in lakhs or crores!!!! And what about the God Mother of the Reddy Bros..... after all she is the Leader of Opposition......she should resign!!!!

Yeddy got 5 years to rule ... 4 years 11 months and 25 days will go into making money and fighting to stick on!

Last time he was able to ward off the attack as in the Karnataka bye-elections BJP won!!!!

Why is Congress in such a knot on Katrina Kaif's self defence ' like Rahul I too am of half foreign decent'??????? Rahul is half Italian and if and when he stakes claim via the parachute route to lead the Nation his being only 50% Indian will come up!!!! If Congress feels Katrina has said something so wrong why don't they sue Katrina????? I do agree Rahul is not to blame..... it is fate!!!! And maybe it is also fate that this could become an impediment if he tries to parachute into the PM's chair!!!! Maybe one of the reasons for his overnight stays in rural India is to show his Indianness!! By the way will Italians accept a half Indian half Italian as their PM???? Non è una possibilità!!!! But then we Indians are more understanding than Italians!!

See if Rahul has to parachute into PM's chair his 50% Italian decent will come up!!!!

However if he stakes claim on merit his 50% Italian decent will be termed as a gup!!

Manpreet 'ze shayar' Badal has got a sidekick of his, Mann a stand up comedian, to come out with a political song CD!!! Surprisingly the very serious and shayrana Manpreet is not averse to using street humour and pedestrian shayri to further his cause!!! He'll be carrying this CD to US........ he's going there with a bowl to collect political alms!!! Today in Punjab its either the liquor lobbies or NRIs who fund political parties!! How about using the following limerick?????

Thau mera khaoo (my Uncle guzzles on ghoos).... Thau da Puttar amli (Uncle's son is a drug addict)!!

Theh Thau di Bahu awal darje di kamli (Uncle's daughter in law in abs nuts)!!!

Amar Singh has switched from his kurta payjama to a track suit and he's hiding in a Luxury Hotel in a room registered in a pal's name!!! Of course no one knows because he entered the hotel wearing a Bhurqa over the track suit!! He's been in touch with the functionary in 10 Janpath who was his partner in the Cash for Votes crime!!! Amar Singh has made it clear to this functionary that if 'I go in I'm going to go in taking you and a few others for company'!!! Rajdeep Sardesai has his bag packed and it's in the 'dicky of his car'!!!! And surprisingly Cops have already given Congress Leaders a clean chit!!! So this was just a game that Saxena and Hindustani played...like 'chor police' and Amar very dotingly gave them play money!!! What a sham investigation!!!

Cash for votes has the potential to blow up in UPA's face!!!!

All the Neta protagonists pack karr rahe hai apna apna suitcase!!

Narayanmurthy may be a genius in his line of work but his 'make bribes legal ...... the giver should be given amnesty' shows he has very little knowledge in this area!!! And I do not blame him because Infosys is known to be a Company that has done its very best not to give bribes!!! First he needs to classify the bribes!!!!! And without a doubt any bribe giver who goes to the Authorities after giving the bribe should be treated at par with the bribe taker... also post the bribe (transaction) the case becomes weak....... bribe takers have been able to get away even after they've been caught red handed taking bribes!!

Maybe Infosys will put up a Call Centre to track and fight bribes!!!!

First study the various bribe giving and taking 'tribes' (types)!!!!

PS........ Hillary met Sonia and both of them blinked messages via their twitching eyes (eye blink Morse code)...... no leaks possible!!! Sushma played 'dance charades' with Hillary!! Jaya tripped and fell down on Hillary....... Hillary fainted..........why........Jaya on Hillary 'Clean Tonne'!! What was objectionable is that Hillary met Jaya saying she's meeting 'potential Leaders (PM).......Rahul must be upset that she did not call on him... Sonia's taken note of this... though belatedly!!

Why did Ms Clinton and Jayalalitha meet ?
The meeting between the U.S. Secretary of State Ms. Clinton and the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu Ms. Jayalalithaa on July 20 at Chennai is the first of its kind as no U.S Secretary of State has ever gone to meet the Chief Minister of a State in the past. The meeting lasted for nearly an hour when the two ladies had a highly productive meeting. While the ethnic problem in Sri Lanka which is now engaging the attention of the U.S. Congressmen as well as the large U.S. investment in the State might have been the primary reasons for her visit, Tamil Nadu, well-known for its sycophancy, has allowed imagination to run riot in interpretation of this visit. While the party cadres would like to believe that Ms. Clinton has come to Chennai to call on the next Prime Minister of India, some others have even suggested that Ms. Clinton met Ms. Jayalalithaa to seek her advice on the kind of campaign she should launch to capture the White House in the next Presidential Election little realizing that there will be no primaries for the 2012 elections and Ms. Clinton would be able to contest only the elections in 2016.

Shyamanand Choudhary

No use extending retirement age

If a person want to do something new or inovative 20-30 year is enough for it. If retirement age extend 3-4 year "means" he is experienced, to search the sources of "malaiy"

Pawan Khatri

Not in good taste

If senior Chief Commissioners of CBEC and CBDT do not get justice and continue to be sidelined and their juniors get all the important postings, it is bad for the overall cadre of Chief Commissioners. The same treatment will be meted out to the junior Chief Commissioners when they are more senior. Hence, the principle of seniority should be respected and not be breached like it is being done now.

Vijay Kumar

She is Kiran Bedi !

Why is N.K.Rana shy of naming this IPS officer of UT Cadre? She is none other than Ms. Kiran Bedi.

Ram Sevak

It's shocking

Many of your browsers have raised question of propriety of employing retired officers in Government when serving officers are available to man those posts. Don't we know why it is done? To reward loyalty. As a matter of fact giving extension after extension and then parking favourites to some other jobs after retirement is the most corrupt practice followed. So is the permission given to the many to take up lucrative jobs with private sector without waiting for the mandatory cooling off period. I was surprised to read in a newspaper today that the Government is thinking of raising the cooling off period to three years from one. It used to be two years. When did they reduce it to one year to help themselves. What has irked the Minister of State for Personnel Department to increase to three years is the fabulous salary of 1 crore per month plus perks on which a retired Revenue Service officer was picking up a post retirement job in the private sector six months after his retirement. It was also mentioned in the news report that at least 10 to 12 applications for waiver of the cooling off period of one year are received in DOPT. Shocking. How things have changed. I was Joint Secretary in DOPT way back in 1985 and this subject was handled by me. I must have dealt with two to three applications of such waiver of the then bar of two years. There too MOS(PP)( The current Home Minister held that job)was quite strict about it. With liberalisation we have diluted all the checks and balances in place and then we say corruption has become one big monster eating away at the vital organs of our polity.

Aarti Khosla

Lessons for India !

The phone hacking scandal of UK must be an eye opener to all and sundry. One wonders whether India is free from such unethical practices arising out of politicians-journalists nexus. There is a crying need for journalists, politicians, bureaucrats and police officers in India to draw appropriate lessons from this scam ? The Prime Minister of India must lay down specific guidelines for engaging/ hiring Media Advisors including prior verification of their credentials. This will help the future Prime Ministers of India.

A K SAXENA (A retired civil servant)

A right step

At last a right step. Government has decided to stop post retirement plum jobs for 5 years after retirement, which means all post retirement goodies will be out and civil service will not bend over backward to please the political boss for such jobs. As a corollary to this, the retirement age should be increased to 65 so that officers would retire with dignity and not go after business houses for consultancies.

Rita

Stop giving extensions

The Union and State Governments should, as a matter of policy, stop gives extensions to superannuated officers. This breeds nepotism and leads to discontentment for serving officers. There is no dearth of specialist officers in the services

Comments

Contrary to popular beliefs, the RTI Act is applicable not only to the governmental organisations, but also to NGO's which are substantially financed by the government. Further, the documents submitted by any private organisation in compliance of a regulatory requirement can be sought under the RTI Act. All records available with the public authority can be destroyed only as per the rules.
