POLITICS
No ministerial berth for Amit
Shah
Seemingly enthralled by the encouraging exit poll results Amit Shah
is supposed to be entrusted with bigger and crucial role within the
party. If it comes true Amit Shah would miss the chance to be on board
with new Govt at centre. More importantly, it would further strengthen
Narendra Modi's grip over the party affairs and consolidate his power
to play conveniently and peacefully as PM. Will Amit Shah play as chief
strategist and crisis-manager as Pramod Mahajan played during Vajpayee's
regime?

Modi should fulfill expectations of employees
BJP and Narendra Modi are expected to win almost all the seats from
Delhi. Delhi comprises a very large population of Central Government
Employees. All Central Government Employees have voted for Modi en block.
Modi should now fulfill expectations of Central Government Employees
from him by increasing retirement age in the month of May 2014 itself,
so that no one is deprived from his this grace.
Agenda and other details are already ready which were repeatedly blocked
by one politician in the previous government, last time being on 28.02.2014.
Thus everything is absolutely ready waiting for a nod from Modi Ji.
He can do it in the month of May 2014 itself.

elay in transfer of ration card
The ration card of the appellant was transferred since 15-11-2012
to a fair price shop 30 Kms away from his house from where he
was not able to draw the rations since then and purchasing the
same in the open market by paying Rs. 800/- extra every month
and thus suffering financial loss. He filed five applications
under the Right to Information (RTI) Act seeking details of various
ration card holders, details of fair price shops, details of the
cards which are transferred, details of the employees who will
handle complaints, guidelines for transfer of ration cards from
one area to another area etc.. The respondent submitted that no
human error was involved and the transfer occurred due to the
computer system fault. The respondent felt that the appellant's
card also should have been set right before the enactment of National
Food Security Act but the appellant would now have to wait till
July, 2014 as the respondent office is neither issuing the new
cards nor renewing the old cards till then. The CIC observed that
this will amount to denial of ration card and ration to deserving
appellant, which go against the objective of food security. Directing
the respondent to provide the information, the Commission issued
a show cause notice to the PIO for imposing penalty and granted
a compensation of Rs. 250/ per month till the date of restoration
of ration card to the appellant.
Comments
This is an instance where the RTI Act has been used for getting
a grievance redressed.
