Is it Snake-charmers V/s Mouse Charmers Now?

Thanks to NaMo's Nindastuti, the Gujarat Chief Minister has been made something of a cult figure. He has decidedly the best advantage of being the mouse-charmer, who is being attacked by the snake charmers. Even the mighty America and Europe have started taking notice of him. His bullies belong to the fraternity of hate mongers, who have blood of the innocents on their hands and money of the tax payers' in their belly. Had the significance of honesty in public life and governance been practiced by his rivals and adversaries, they would have not burnt of jealousy. Instead they would have found it normal. But normal duties like upholding the constitution or honesty in public life or governance is what they dislike the most. They do what they practice best: hate, communal rhetoric, corruption, kidnapping doctors, illing officers(including police officers),messing up with promotions, postings and transfers and transporting the proceeds of their illegal activities to foreign banks. They suffer illusions of the youth being lulled into silence by rope tricks or snake charming tricks!

Rashtrapti Bhavan sets new standard
Rashtrapti Bhavan sets a new standard by hosting a conference of Vice Chancellors. All high tech gadgets drew attention of VCs and everybody is saying if Rashtrapti Bhavan can do things of global standard then why not other ministries. Rashtrapti Bhavan has already created many firsts by using You tube, Facebook and online booking of visitors to visit the Rashtrapti Bhavan. The e-governance has taken front seat in new Presidency. President Secretariat is using digital invitation, which are bar coded for cultural programmes and also initiation were issued for 26th Jan at home. These things have become a topic of discussion for emulating in other organisations for efficiency and productivity.
