Debate (1) Who will make the best Prime Minister in India ?
The qualities in the Prime Minister is leadership and ability to decide. I have read stories of Vishwamitra when he refused to own up his own child 'Shakuntala', then is the story of Atpat Nagri Chaupat Raja and then the story of Emperor with no Clothes. I am sure readers will immediately drive similarity with the present state of affairs. The right decisive officers are harassed by creating bogeys against them. A leader missed out to take credit of excellent execution of Common Wealth Games and still refuses that how he has been made fools by tailors i.e. Committee where 6 crores were spent who dressed him with no clothes and made him mockery in front of his own bureaucrats and the world. The 2G, Coal gate are other examples of ostrich and Vishwamitra like attitude. Well definitely country does not want a Prime Minister like him he is most dishonest to the chair he is occupying

Medical dichotomy can't stand scrutiny in Court of law
DoPT's order allowing medical treatment abroad to officers of IAS,IPS and IFoS , is criminal waste of foreign exchange defying logic in the face of rising fiscal deficit, and depreciating rupee value. The demands for strengthening public health care in India was rejected by the Planning Commission citing budgetary constraints. How do funds become available now for officers of
three Services? Super-specialty hospitals have been set up in India by leasing costly public land to private sector at throw away prices. It was hoped that this would save the country scarce foreign exchange so that people could secure world-class medicare at home. India is a hub for medical tourists and earn foreign exchange. All other Civil Services Officers associations must protest against discrimination causing heart burnings. A PIL would solve the problem.
