DEBATE (1)

One cannot come to any sane conclusion in two months. The AAP has done a tremendous job by ordering probe by ACB against RIL and others. the very fact that officers of unimpeachable character like TSR Subramanian, Eas Sarma, Naval Chief Tahiliani and Kamini Jaiswal are supporting Arvind Kejriwal shows that he means business and not like other petroleum ministers. i am stunned by the number of kudos he is receiving in facebook, twitter and other public fora. give him some time. when you gave 60 years to Congress and BJP, why cant you wait and have patience?

Retiremet age should not be increased

This pertains to your news regarding rumour being rife about Govt. increasing the retirement age to 62 yrs. This should not be done to provide more employment opportunities to young people and also help in reducing the government financial burden as the pesons who are about to retire draw a hefty salary as compared to a person joining at the entry level. Ofcouse, the younger generation will also contribute to more productivity. Being election year UPA govt. must be thinking that it will gain more votes by doing this. On the contrary, this will lead to loss in votes as the persons who are about to retire, their subordinates want to see their back as soon as possible for various reasons. The number of suborninates are much higher(1000 times) than their boss. The subordinate will vote against this move. Further, increasing retirement age will only help those who are about to retire now or at most next few years and not all govt. employees. Even those who are getting benefited will vote as per their choice as around retirement age people loyalty towards political party do not change. also, they know that once the retirement age has been enhanced it will not be immediately lowered and even after enjoying this advantage, they will vote as per their favourites/loyalties. Infact, to get more votes, UPA govt. should consider hefty increase(18-20%) in the Dearness Allowance(DA) to all govt. and PSU employees. This will benefit each and every employee and will lead to gain in their vote share. Hope, people in UPA take this suggestion seriously.

Increase retirement age

On February 6, 2014, the Chhattisgarh Assembly passed an amendment bill to raise retirement age of state government employees from 60 to 62 years. Few other states have also increased. I think it is time and now is the minute when the Central Government should increase the retirement age of all central government employees (civil service and others) from 60 to 62 years. A parliamentary committee has recommended that retirement age should be increased from 60 years to 65 years

Lack of competency and lackadaisical attitude

I am a Secretariat Officer. I work in Ministries/Departments. The outside world knows which Government Department is corrupt and which is not. My intention was not to point out corruption. My intention was to point out the lack of competency and lackadaisical attitude of the Government employees, which I know are also there in the IT Department. Your are a Group 'A' organized service officer. The British imperialism still exists in some of the elite services of the country. Your comments smacks of feudalism. My father was also a group 'A' organized service officer and retired from Special Secretary level. He use to travel by 610 Bus from his office in Rail Bhawan to Vinay Marg regularly at that level. He could not purchase a car during his entire 34 years career. At the age of 80 years also he travels by Bus and Metro to Railway Hospital in Connaught place from Vasant Kunj on regular basis. I am also on the path of Shri Kejriwal. So please don't try to teach me honesty. You belong to state where for even getting money out your GPF account you have to grease the palm of the Government officials. Please indicate to me you address, I am ready to slug it out with you on the subject of corruption and the need for doing your in Government in an expeditious manner.
