wonderful site by a wonderful TEAM Aaj Ki Aawaz As expected there's a deadlock between the Civil Society Members and the Ministers on the Draft Lokpal Bill Pane!!! The Ministers want to keep PM, Higher Judiciary and MPs (inside The House) out of the ambit of the Lokpal Bill....... just for show Lokpal!! Seems ultimately If the Mantirs on the panel have their way Lokpal will be toothless...... yes as and when the Government wants Lokpal to act Lokpal will be given a pair of dentures...... now its clear why the Ministers on this panel were against video graphing the proceedings of this Panel!!! The Civil Society Members should take the stand 'all or nothing'!!!! Ex Baba and now just Ramdev is now in tune with Congress but Public is 'shaana' ...... he'll not get the spontaneous response that Anna got......but his rented crowds will be there...... numbers will be there but the spirit will be missing!! Congress basically wants Ramdev to takeover Anna's movement..... Ramdev is pliable Anna is not!!! Ramdev is now a businessman Anna is not! Ramdev will give and take Anna will not!!
Seems Anna will have to go on a fast again!!! Otherwise the objective to have a strong Lokpal they'll not be able to attain!!
They say Mohna and PC have a secret understanding ........ PC will start working the 'political ropes' so that Mohna can become the President and Mohna will work to making PC sit in the chair he'll be vacating!! I do not think Sonia will agree to PC occupying the PMs chair...... she knows he is ambitious and could become another Narismha Rao!!! With Rahul literally 'going nowhere' and added to this his boast that he'll become PM only when Congress has a majority on its own, makes it virtually impossible for Rahul to become PM!!! Mohna and PC have come to this understanding as they have inside dope that Sonia is thinking about 'after Mohna who'?? And may I point out here US will have a big say in who becomes India's next PM....... Mohna is a favourite of Uncle Sam and Uncle Sam will agree to Mohna's choice..... maybe PC's already made his inroads for furthering his relationship with US!!! Maybe upcoming WikiCables will throw light on PC's efforts!!!
If Sonia agrees to PC as PM it'll be a Poor Choice or PC!!!! She'll realize very fast why many say Pathetic and Crafty is the real meaning of PC!!!
Though Sushma now distances herself from Reddy Brothers but it's well known she was their Godmother!! The Camp wars will throw up more and more scum within BJP!!! There's the Advani Camp, Ghadakari Camp, Rajnath Camp, Sushma Camp, Jaitley Camp etc.... some camps have understandings or pacts with other camps!! BJP's spokeswoman Nirmala Sitharaman rubbishes this camp theory...... actually she too belongs to a camp.... otherwise how did unknown Nirmala wangle this job????
Cadre based BJP is now Camp based BJP!!!! That's why people say Bahut Jhagdewaali Party is the real meaning of BJP!!
As UP is a lost cause for Congress seems Congress wants to shift the blame for the downfall from the present Congress leadership.... so a Congress sponsored book puts the blame on I Gandhi for Congress's downturn in UP!!!! The book also criticizes the Emergency.... which was again I Gandhi's brainchild..... of course her younger child a huge supported of this brainchild!!!! Now that Congress feels I Gandhi did damage will it make 'token' amends and change the name of IGI Airport as a mark of repentance on behalf of its ex High Command!!!! How about renaming this Airport after Gandhi Ji......... it's only appropriate that the Airport in India's Capital is named after the Father of the Nation?
I Gandhi had her moments of brilliance, flops and blunders!!!! And both I Gandhi and her older Bahu think they are madaaris and Congressmen are their bandars (monkeys)!!
This Morani fellow was put behind bars and the Media termed it as huge setback for Bollywood...... or are Morani and Sharukh Khan Bollywood........ seems all of a sudden Sharukh will find that Rahul and Robert Vadra are not taking his calls!!! Seems our Media is besotted with Bollywood..... that's why most of the Channels dedicate more and more airtime to Bollywood!! I guess like Sanjay Dutt and Salman did Morani too will in his Court appearances sport a Fez Cap.... misuse of religion!!! Sanjay Dutt is already facing heat for saying in a speech that he was persecuted because he was son of a Muslim Mother!!! I'm sure the Court will be lenient to him if he tells the Court it was' during a phase of sheer insanity when he was under Amar Singh's control'!!! Come elections and our Netas also resort to wearing attire of different religions to woo voters!!!
Our Courts are pretty smart and do not get taken in by this kind of
drama baazi!!!!
Seems Maran is again in the doghouse!!! WikiCable leak shows that he had predicted DMK's fall!!! He was right !!! Now there are revelations that Maran could have made 700 crores by being helpful to Aircell when he was Communication.... Maxis the promoter Aircell invested about $ 150 million in Maran's Sun Direct and Sun FM and this investment was made after Aircell was allocated 14 licenses......Maran was the Communication Minister!! If Maran did not share the spoils with Karuna, Stalin and Azagiri then they are going to be hopping mad and would be feeling cheated (sic)!!! There are also 'unconfirmed' reports that elder Maran bro was in touch with Jaya prior to TN elections!! And above all now Maran has a lot of answering to do to the Nation.......CBI could be kick-starting the process soon!!
For all you know Jaya could join the UPA and nominate Maran as a Minister!!! Karuna will then say that Dayanadi Maran's Grandmom Shanmugasundarmbai
was not his sister!!

Debojyoti Sir, Sudhir Chopra With due regards to S.Kant,I am to say that while expressing views
in Forum,at least facts should not be misrepresented.It is interesting
to note that while alleging misrepresentation of facts,the respected
author, himself, has not mentioned facts correctly. He says"...CSS
is the only service ,where Direct Recruit (through Civil services) are
denied promotion on all flmsy grounds but Assistants/LDC/UDC are promoted
upto Deputy Secretary & Directors of Government of India to whom
even senior IAS/IPS/Central Services happily report." This is not
fully correct. There is not even a single instance in Govt. of India
when LDC/UDC could become Dy.Secretary and Director. Only Assistants
and only those who are DR Assistants(recruited as Group B,NG) are reaching
to the level of Director in a few cases only and that too only when
they qualify the UPSC's Section Officer grade departmental exam. Is
this wrong? Recruitment of Assistant was being done by UPSC earlier
and later it was transferred to SSC.At present,they are selected through
Combined Graduate Level Exam comprising of Pre/Mains/Interview stages.
His words ".....to whom even senior IAS/IPS/Central Services happily
report" are not appropriate.This is the system and post which is
given regard and reporting is decided according to that, not the level
of recruitment.If recruitment level is the only deciding factor for
reporting by IAS/IPS/Central Service officers, any officer of these
services would not report to a Director/J.S./Addl.Secretary who was
recruited merely as S.O.(DR,Group B).I mean to say same thing applies
to both Assistant(DR) and S.O.(DR) because there is difference of only
one level in them. Further he says "...Assistants/UDC/LDC want
to become Dy.Secretary and Directors,which they can not become.".
It is submitted that firstly UDC/LDC are not becoming Dy.Secretary and
Directors as mentioned above, and secondly if Assistants( who are Direct
Recruit) want to become Dy.Secretary and Directors, why they can not
become so when Section Officer(DR) can become Additional Secretary/Joint
Secretary. There is difference of one level at the time of recruitment
and same or even more at the time of retirement. There is no injustice
to anyone at least from this aspect. THis refers to the high praise showered on Mr.Chandra by one Mr. Satya. At the same time, it is widely believed that he was instrumental in ensuring that the name of high functionary of a major political party did not come to light in the hassan ali case. will any one shed more light on what is the truth, because truth is important and no person should be unfairly targetted or unfairly spared. thanks This refers to your news report about the acting chairman position given to one Mr. D.K.Mehrotra in LIC. Your report gives a lot of praise for him, unnecessary in a report of this nature. At least in one respect I can say that he is an expert in refusing on flimsy grounds, RTI info which may be awkward for him or his colleagues. thanks. CBDT Chairman Well, Mr Sudhir Chandra has formally retired. He is a strong man, and when circumstances allowed, he has done a lot for good governance, be it timely filling up vacancies, unearthing tax evasions, and now, formation of Criminal Investigation Directorate within CBDT to tackle black money. I hope his successors continue the good work taken up in the Department. Vijay Kumar About CBDT Chairman Sudhir Chandra, Chairman CBDT is a very dynamic officer and one of the best civil servants independent India has produced. He is a very down to earth officer and a hard worker. Unfortunately, he has rubbed the powers that be on the wrong side. He was the first officer from the Central Civil Services who stood up to the bullying tactics of the IAS. Literally every officer that mattered - Cabinet Secretary (who has himself benefited from numerous extensions), Personnel Secretary, Finance Secretary and of course the Revenue Secretary opposed extension in his tenure earlier. But he got an extension for just two months. This time unfortunately, he was not lucky. It's a known fact that all IAS and other corrupt babus in the capital feared him and hate him a lot. Every one of them wanted him out of the Finance Ministry. Just think for a moment what he has done for the country and the Income Tax Department within a span of just 5 months as Chairman, CBDT, & the transparency introduced. Rs. 30,000 crores of black money has been unearthed when Mr. Chandra was in CBDT - both as Member and Chairman. Now people are criticizing him for issuing refunds quickly though that is the duty of the department. For the first time promotions in the IT Dept. have taken place in time & DPC's are being conducted in time because of Chandra. Focus has also been on Infrastructure. He is the only Chairman who visited every part of India. New transfer Policy for the IT Dept has been formed under him. Cadre Restructuring has got a big fillip under him and he was personally monitoring it. Hope he is given an important post retirement assignment after retirement - a post that can make a difference to this country. Tapan I would request you to first reflect on the basic question -'what is power'? There is a world of difference between 'authority' and 'power'. Anybody in a position of authority exercises power but that power stems from that position and not from that person. It is only when a person wields influence beyond his authority that he is said to exercise real power. Now judge the PMO or even the PM from this angle. Do you think they are powerful? The PM is the Chief Executive of the country so it is but natural that he will exercise the CEO's authority. But, is he powerful? Take the case of appointment of civil servants to senior positions. He either acquiesced to whatever his Ministers wanted (Raja wanted Behura)or allowed himself to be fooled by a coterie of officers close to him (remember CVC Thomas' case?). The only decision that no one else could have taken was the appointment of Cabinet Secretary. Here, all he did was to give extensions to the incumbents - B.K.Chaturvedi and K.M.Chandrasekhar. Do you think these are examples of a PM exercising power? And if the PM himself is so unsure, would his PMO qualify for being powerful? Pranab Mukherjee would qualify as being powerful because his influence extends beyond his authority as Finance Minister. But the PMO? Forget it! An Obsrver All Indian postal service officers waiting eagerly for cabinet reshuffle. No one is joining new place of posting. There is rumour kapil sibal is being shifted from ministry of communications and Lalu Prasad Yadav being brought in. everyone dissatisfied with Kapil Sibals strict implementation of tenure transfer policy. Minister with flexible approach required who can satisfy & keep all services lobbies happy. How true is this rumour? Only time will tell. Let us wait till 5th june for cabinet reshuffle.

Mrinalini Kalia I was happy to see one news today that Germany has decided to do away
with all nuclear power stations by 2022. It's great and needs to be
followed by all countries of world.Germany took this decision in view
of recent calamity ?in Japan.
Respected sir. I beg to mention, through your esteemed site i appeal to honble MOC to now give attention to accounts side also. because of weak inefficient accounts wing the department of post is suffering badly. the following step need to be taken- 1. to frame a transfer posting policy & implement in transparent way for indian postal and telecom accounts and finance service. 2. the offices of director of postal accounts are dens of inefficiency and there is huge pendency. they are taking lot of over time allowance making money but not doing work. 3. the decentralisation of work and shifting of accounts persons from uttar pradesh circle to newly formed uttarakhan circle. the shifting of accounts staff from madhya pradesh circle to newly created state of chattisgarh. to shift accounts persons from bihar circle to newly formed circle of jharkhand. this task very difficult to do. the indian postal service board has failed to implement this because accounts finance cadre being controlled by telecom and they not interested solving problem of postal department. 4. Indian postal service cadre strength is 574 only which control largest postal network in the world with more than one lakh fifty thousand post office. In contrast the Postal & telecom accounts & finance service is too big its cadre strength is three times that of main service at 1723. Everyone knows accounts & finance is ancillary service as it is supporting service only. But when main service is over powered and overwhelmed by a service having supporting role and it then situation only hampers the smooth working of department. 5. postal services 1988 batch become SAG in July 2010. IP&T AFS
1995 Batch become SAG in 2010. Why there so much anomaly when examination
recruitment is same. This leading to frustration in postal service.
P&T AFS not having transfer policy & being posted reposted after
brief spell to same Circle or station why. Please mr minister I appeal
to you to clean up this mess on urgent basis. MANIK RAM Treatment in USA Isnt it ironical that Union Ministers and Chief Ministers are still headed to USA for their medical treatment as also of their sons and daughters! It is high time the government decides not to waste public money for this purpose.. If not, PIL needs to be filed in Supreme court to debar govt from wasting money for any treatment abroad that can be handled in a govt or private hospital in India Sanjay Kumar RTI Charge-sheet in Reliance Call Re-routing case The reasons for non-inclusion of the names of Mr. Mukesh Ambani and Anil Ambani in the charge sheet filed by CBI in the Call Re-routing case were denied u/s 8(1)(h) claiming that disclosing the information would impede the process of prosecution. The PIO informed the CIC that the said reasons were available on record but disclosing such information would provide clues to others by which they would be able to argue why they should also not be charged. Holding that the PIO has failed to produce any cogent evidence to establish that disclosure of information would impede the prosecution of offenders, the CIC directed to disclose the information. Comments The Delhi HC in Bhagat Singh v. CIC W.P. (C) No. 3114/2007 has observed that the mere existence of an investigation process cannot be a ground for refusal of the information; the authority withholding information must show satisfactory reasons as to why the release of such information would hamper the investigation process. As pointed in this column earlier, such reasons should be germane, and the opinion of the process being hampered should be reasonable and based on some material. [Mr. P. C Srivastava vs. CBI in CIC/SM/A/2011/000309/SG/12557]
