You are doing a great job.
Ajay Kumar Trehan

It is indeed sad Congress's dirty tricks Department is now threatening to find scum on anyone and everyone opposed to Madam and her son!!!! Well all who want the Nation to get out of the rut it is in should hope Congress does a Ramdev on Anna......... revolutionary changes will take place!! It's understood Congress is already in touch with its 'pally' Media to ensure that Anna's fast does not get the publicity it got last time!!!!

With every stupid act Congress digs itself deeper into the pit!!!!!

Like cutting the branch on which it does sit!!

If Mohna and Pranab have become friendly then PC's in the doghouse!!! Maybe this 'tapping revelation' is an outfall of this new friendship...... after all the alleged tapping is supposed to have taken place a year back...... when Mohna and PC were pally and Pranab Da was the common enemy!! Maybe Pranab Da has realized his PM dream is now not achievable and Mohna has realized 'my days in 7 Race Course are now numbered' ...... via a statement by a Congress Leader ' that Rahul should takeover' Sonia has already served Notice to Mohna!!! I feel PC should be straightened out ..... his mischievous bent of mind..... his deviousness.......his ambition........and his haughtiness have made him unpopular.......and Sonia I'm sure must have placed him in the 'undependable' bracket!!!

If equations have changed then some drastic changes in the reshuffle should be expected!!!!

There is an outside chance that from the Cabinet 'election wonder' PC could be ejected!!!

NHRC Report clearly shows that Rahul was lying.......not even exaggerating but lying!!! Had a few deaths and rapes taken place and Rahul would have exaggerated the number he could have got away...... but now he has the 'not to be trusted' tag around his neck!! Why did he lie.........or who got him to lie........PM in waiting indulging in such cheap tactics..... ???? Now as usual he's gone underground and in another week or so he'll surface and I'm sure he will not disappoint his ever growing number of detractors with a gaffe.... foot in the mouth!!! Congress needs to do something about the 'foot in mouth' that's gaining epidemic proportions in Congress!!!! And law and order in UP is more because of UP's size..... of course Maya's reluctance to act against her supporters has been a catalyst......like the murder of the CMO and the alleged suicide of the main accused in his murder..... corruption related !!! But when it comes to Bhatta Parsaul it is 'game , set and match' to Maya!!!!

Can Rahul fit into Vajpayee's or Mohna's shoes??????

Just say in Public 'Rahul should become PM' and hear the boos!!!

Munde's been placated ........ his exiting BJP was a near impossibility..... yes he went through the motions only to improve his bargaining chances!!! Had Congress been in BJP's place today Congress would have literally made BJP Government fall...... but BJP with its Camps is tottering!!! Basically BJP's proven to be a unfit Opposition........ fritting away its being in power in so many States!!!! Today BJP's only hope is Modi...... he can be a unifying factor........ and he has the charisma to woo the majority to vote for BJP!!! But Camp wars keep him busy in Gujarat....... mind you he is more worried about his own Party men that Congress when it comes 'power wars' in Gujarat!!!

Bharatiya Jhagda Party is living up to its name!!!!

So many opportunities to gain because of Congress 'loosing out' ...no gain as of date.... what a shame!!

CBDT shouldn't be cagey
CBDT should not be cagey in disclosing that it created the ruckus of bugging in FM's office so that its Chairman(now ex) could wangle an extension. The legendary filmi villain Ajit would have said "Smart Boy "

Stevedore
AP leads in corruption !

If you really want to see corruption, you should study Andhra Pradesh. It can surpass any northern state.

Arun
An extension again
Yet again an extension. Are there no people to take their place OR is it "managed". Extensions as brought out on a number of occasions are creating bunching and fresh people do not get their rightful place. Unemployment is increasing due to these policies. Making people indispensable gives rise to corruption and creates grey areas in governance.

T S Rangarao

Hats off to Pukhraj Maroo
Hats off to him. It is really wonderful to have such interesting academicians working as bureaucrats. It would be appropriate if he becomes an educationist and a vice chancellor of a reputed University. Keep going.

Dhayalan
Aam Admi has high hopes from Team Anna

It is rightly pointed out that the notion of "Sole Authority of Law Making By the Public Representatives" is cracked and Aam Admi of our Country is looking with God's Faith towards the Team Anna as a crusader against the Corruption.

Sunil

Reducing LLM to one year course will be injustice

All PG courses are of two years. Masters degree in law should also be of two year duration. Reducing LLM to one year course will be a gross injustice against other PG courses

NVK Prabhakar

Plenty of wrongs

There are plenty of things wrong with the DOPT and MEA, not in just one single case. The DoPT in particular should be a national shame of mismanagement, manoeuvrings and manipulation with no principle, ethics or values. It should receive a global award for killing careers of b=right officers and promoting corruption in this country.

Copy of application of wife

The applicant asked for the copy of application form his wife had supposedly sent to the RBI including her educational certificate. The CPIO refused to disclose the information claiming that it was personal information as she had not been selected for the job and is not an employee of the RBI. The CIC upheld the order of CPIO holding that there was no apparent larger public interest to be served by disclosure. The CIC noted that there was nothing on record to show that the lady has authorized the Appellant to access this information.

Comments

This order shows that the Public Authority is not bound to disclose information about a job-seeker who is not his employee, even to her spouse.
