POLITICS

Whispers finds place in books creating political turmoil
As a matter of proud for all our surfers, who have faith in what we publish, whispersinthecorridors.com finds place in the two most talked about books these days - The Accidental Prime Minister by Sanjaya Baru & Crusader or Conspirator ? of PC Parakh.

The Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh's former Media Adviser Sanjay Baru while narrating about the events that occurred during the run-up to his reappointment (which finally did not come) in June 2009 has mentioned, in his book The Accidental Prime Minister - about whispersinthecorridors ( on Pg. 267) saying - "A few days later whispersinthecorridors.com reported that I would be returning to the PMO".

Similarly, former Coal Secretary PC Parakh has in his book 'Crusader or Conspirator ?' , on Pg 142, mentioned about a report which appeared in the whispersinthecorridors.com on March 2, 2005. The report is related to repatriation of Parakh to his parent Andhra Pradesh cadre when the then Coal Secretary, according to him, was not getting full political support of his ministers and the PM was also finding himself helpless in coming to the rescue of the 1969 batch IAS officer because he (Dr. Manmohan Singh) required the support of the said ministers to run his coalition government.

This speaks about the credibility that whispersinthecorridors has earned over a period of time and how much authentic its reports are in the opinion of the 'decision makers' of the country

All roads now lead to Gujarat !
It is general belief that now all the roads in the country lead to Gujarat, thanks to Narendra Modi.

Solution to the CGHS mess
The only solution to the CGHS mess in the city of Delhi is that Government should set up hospitals specifically for the Government employees on the lines of Ministry of Railways and Ministry of De fence. Alternatively, separate Indoor Wings could be created in Government hospitals for Government servants. This will make the private hospitals to bite the dust.

Not honouring the CGHS requests
A really timely observation in Trivandrum in Kerala for want of timely payment to empanelled hospitals and diagnostic centres. Most of them are not honouring the CGHS requests for credit arrangements. What a pity ? Who is responsible ? Also, steps should be taken to start CGHS centres in Ernakulam and Calicut in Kerala to mitigate the woes of retired employees in the Central and Northern Kerala

They have rather helped Modi !

All so called secular parties have campaigned for Muslim votes with a view to prevent Modi becoming PM in 2014.Indirectly, this negative campaign by the Congress, the SP and the BSP has helped Modi to get Hindu votes from all Hindus who want Modi to be PM.High turn out by the electorate in various parts of India is an indication.
