How does it matter ?
There have been many comments on service of Kejriwal being from Central services as against All India Services. How does it matter, central services render as much service to the nation as AIS, though AIS tend to grab all the credit

Praveen

Fact overlooked
It is surprising that a channel of WIC repute has overlooked the fact that IRS is not an All India Service (AIS). Secondly, the syndrome that you are corrupt if you are not in my side, followed by AAP is self defeating.

A K Verma

Glaring mistake !
A portal like Whispersinthecorridors should not make glaring mistakes when it comes to classification of services. To mention one Arvind Kejriwal does not belong to AIS (All India Services) he is from the Indian Revenue Service (IRS) which is a central service and not All India Service. There are only Three All India Services in the country and they are Indian Forest Service (IFS), Indian Police Service (IPS) and Indian Administrative Service (IAS), rest are all Central Services including Foreign, Revenue, Postal, Information etc. All India Services come under Central State Relations i.e. why Justice Sarkaria Commission on Central State Relations wrote a separate chapter on All India Services.

Hardip Singh Kingra

Chanda Bijai

Is it proper?
While Rao is fit for getting an extension for his dynamism, down to earth approach and customer friendly attitude, understand selection of his successor was already done by PESB and approved by the government. The question arises was the incumbent not suitable to replace him? Is it proper to make the incumbent wait for two years for taking over the charge for which he was selected. In fact business environment may throw new challenges to BHEL in coming years and the incoming CEO may have to be reevaluated under the circumstances for capabilities to meet the challenges.

Policy of placating people
The policy of placating people, who are lazy and non-performers is one day going to lead to Civil War in the country. In order to meet to the wishes of the current UPA government (who are bent about to come into power by hook or crook), the Ministry of Finance is playing into their hands. On one side the Ministry of Finance is trying to reduce the budgetary allocation for medical expenses etc. of Government employees and on the other side they are throwing away money for schemes like MNREGA, NHRM and Food Security. All the schemes in the long run will lead us nowhere. The people will become lazy and not work. These schemes are also a breeding ground for corruption. A number of Central Government offices have huge pending medical bills. The CGHS empanelled hospitals are going to go on strike w.e.f. 15.01.2014. Advice is for all the Government servant to not to drain their accumulated Provident Fund amount as you don't know that one day you may need it for your hospital expenses. The Government is bent upon making you die on the streets. If you don't have money to marry your daughter then please postpone it. Other option is to commit suicide so that your wards get some money and survive in this world of criminals and sinners for some more time.
