" Who after Modi in 2024 ?"

A farfetched question to form an authoritative opinion on PM's choice in 2024 . Arun Jaitley's exclusion seems justified as he never won any elections. A similar debate on : "After, Nehru, who", was initiated by Nehru loyalists to push Indira Gandhi's candidature as next PM after 1962 debacle. But, Lal Bahadur Shastri emerged out of the blue as the ultimate choice.Perhaps, none out of 13 probables could be in the shortlist for PM's post in 2024. Even, BJP's chief Amit Shah, a Modi's favourite, seems out of question. Modi belongs to a different class. Even, Obama praised him for shaking India's bureaucratic inertia. If things go well, Modi could gear up the country to face challenges in 2024. Considerations of religions, castes,regions would become irrelevant. Due to paradigm shift in ethical values and moral standards , the benchmark criteria for leadership could be far stricter.

Against this background, it would be unfair, unjust and too pre-mature to hazard a guess about the PM's choice in 2024 .

CAG critizes Rlys for Financial indiscipline but has a hand in it


All employees of CAG, including IA&AS officers, posted in CAG's Railway Audit offices (zones and HQ Delhi) are unauthorizedly claiming a dozen sets of free and privileged railway pass (mostly by AC II/III-tier) for themselves and their families that runs into several crore rupees per annum in monetary value. There are also numerous instances of misuse of Railway passes by CAG employees. Many senior officers in the Railway Audit Wing in CAG's office have availed both Railway and CCS (TA & LTC) benefits as well, when this is punishable by a major penalty under Railway rules. This is when the Railways meets the entire cost of CAG's railway audit wing plus allows use of their lavish housing, inspection carriages, medical facilities, telephones, clubs etc. that runs into several crore rupees more of revenue non-Plan expenditure adding to Railway's 90%+ operating ratio. In fact, CAG's Railway Audit wing and its branches are responsible for Rs. 75-100 crore on non-Plan expenditure per annum. If CAG's officers can claim benefits allowed only to Railway servants, then all other depts like municipal corporations, water supply & sanitation, Coal India, electricity utilities, GRP, should also be eligible as Railway's service providers. Yet CAG has the gumption to criticize the Railways while partaking in plundering the hapless Railways for CAG and their privileged personnel!

About Orderlies

Wonderful decision. Should have been taken long back. Huge force will now be available for serving the country.

Milestone decision

Milestone decision by our Great Prime Minister. This heinous practice followed since 1947 was intriguingly not noticed by other great leaders in this welfare state. Modi has restored dignity of these trained police constables who till date wash utensils, dress of officers wife and kids and do other household job after receiving police training. Fate of female constables only God knows. Good move which will improve law and order and security of this country. Interestingly former home minister reportedly ordered withdrawal of 10 out of 20 orderlies posted at Ex. Home secretary after he joined politics.

End of slave system in India !

If this arrangement will be operational in Force/Police, it means this will end of slave system in India. In force this will boost up the morale of the force personnel. Force personnel will be very much obliged for ending of this slave system in police force. Seniors officer treated junior personnel in force is like a slave. If anyone disinterested in this type of work, they are harassed in other ways. This is very progressive thinking of our Prime Minister.

Govt offices need biometric attendance ?

Why Government offices need biometric attendance. Instead there should be computerized work culture, flexibility of working 8 working hours with half hour break. You log in and log out should be your attendance system. This is high time system of hourly salaries be introduced instead of scales etc. Increase in hourly wages must depend on your performance.
