Modi's letter to Nitish
Modi's Imaginary reply to Nitish's letter questioning him on his DNA comment ....

Got your Letter,
Firstly your English could be better!

You should have got IFS Verma to pen it,
On every English TV Debate he does sit.

Do you only have right to criticise me?
Why can't I do the same to you Nitish ji?

You I see as epitome of Double Speak!
With Laloo in this you have started to peak!

My DNA comment is limited to your politics!
And I know on you this analogy of mine sticks!

You call yourself Apostle of honesty!
And you have allied with alleged King of Dishonesty!

He does not know what probity means!
Its not in his Party's genes!

You pride yourself on law and order !!
And your new Ally used disorder!!

Disorder for his Party was music to their ears!
Why do you think Biharis shiver as election nears!

You pride yourself on your Governance!
And your Ally is known for Misgovernance!

You say under you Biharis are safe !!
In Ally's Raj every house was made like a safe!!

Goondaism..kidnappings .. were everyday affair!!
And you say for law and order your Government takes all the care!

Any relief in Ally's time was allegedly minting time!
And you say you pass over every relief dime!

Your secular stance is a mazaak!!
For you only Majority Minority is paak (pure)!!

You wear a Fez Cap in Masjids..rallies and Iftar!!
Toh firr Gurudwara mein sirr pe rumaal kyon nahi liya tha dhar!

They pleaded with you .. Sir cover your head!!
But pompously you went in bare headed instead!

This is why I said your DNA is faulty.. weird!
And it's gonna get worser is what is being feared.

Hope you are taking care of your health!
It's the real wealth !!

Your ally is a Kheni addict so be careful!!
Into this vice you he will try to pull !

And thank you for not sharing stage with me !!
Fate favored me ..this now I see!!

Gist of my letter... your DNA is not what you show you are!!
And the day Biharis will agree with what I say is not far!!


Disclaimer... alleged and is Satire ..do not draw any conclusions..its meant go be read and forgotten

Pro-criminal sentiments a bane

Comments about police reflect the present bias of a society which is more bothered about the rights of a criminal rather than the victim. This pro-criminal sentiment is the bane of our society and therefore police reforms are awaited since 1902 when the first commission submitted its report. No one wants the police to be effective as the ability to break law is treated as a status symbol even by the educated in our society. We will continue to be like this most shamelessly.

No rule of law

There is no rule of Law in MOS&PI

Misuse of power

Certainly it has been long overdue. The mighty had usurped the power depriving the vulnerable their due. Certainly any IRS should be the revenue secretary, an IA&AS should be the CAG, capable Dy. Governor should also be tried to head the RBI so on and so forth. Let's hope for the best.

There is no rule of Law in MOS&PI

I fully agree with the views of S Das, published on August 3, 2015 under the heading of "There is no rule of Law in MOS&PI,www.whispersinthecorridors.com. If it is correct that transfer of ISS & SSS are frequently made without any existing transfer policy, as per DOP&T instructions, then the responsibility of concerned officials may fixed and all concerned officials may be punished.

Ran Vijay

Not all cops are to blame

Nothing can be far from truth. As always in typical IPS (I Play Safe?!?!) style he has sought to pass on the burden to everyone else for everything afflicting the police except to its inefficient and pliant leadership of IPS. The law is set in motion at a police station. They do not do so promptly. The SP waits for every political clearance before taking any action! Whereas law empowers the police adequately, its leadership makes it rudderless. It is said even IPC is enough to set right the system if police, rather its IPS leadership, worked efficiently and impartially. And that's where the problem lies.

A citizen

Sigh of relief

It is good that the government will heave a sigh of relief as it is overburdened and majority of the budgetary allocations are spent in paying them salary and perks without any contribution. At least one of them is destructive and it is good to salvage whatever is possible.
