POLITICS
This is History (129)
It was Akbar's reign that established the Mughal dynasty and made it
of the soil and wholly Indian in outlook. He was very autocratic and
had uncontrolled power.
NN Vora is the 'Amitabh Bachchan' of bureaucracy
Former IAS officer NN Vora who was awarded the Padma Vibhushan in 2007
for his service to the nation, is considered 'Amitabh Bachchan' of bureaucracy.
Both, the evergreen Vora - who has been the Governor of trouble-torn
Jammu & Kashmir twice - and Amitabh are the only two known personalities
in the country who have, by virtue of their work, always remained in
the limelight and power for so many years.
Why have Sonia and Rahul become aggressive
all of a sudden ?
Why have Sonia and Rahul become aggressive all of a sudden ? Grapevine
has it that there has been a change in the attitude of both these leaders
because they know that it is mandatory for their survival.
Yeh Desh ka yaaro kya hogaa ....
If only Sonia MMS ji ki baath maanthi!
Unn ki GST ke maamle mein objectivity jaanthi!
But now she's reduced MMS ji to a decoration piece!
Soon MMS ji will not do joh Sonia ko karre please!
Sonia ke advisors hai annek!
Sabh apni apni rotis karr rahe hai sekk!
All Developed Economies have adopted it (GST)!!
Sadly here its blocked because of Sonia's writ!
Rahul's problem is his knowledge is limited!
And his quest for power and hatred for Modi is unlimited!
Rahul Baba refuses to recognise the change!
Bangalore Girls too felt he was being strange!
His verdict on Make in India and Swach Bharat shocked!
If they could would have said wrongly GST being blocked!
He simply cannot bear Modi's stellar work!
Many youngsters feel Rahul's being a Jerk!
He is trying to show Thunder as a squeak!
And this foolishness has still to peak!
Status change has filled him with hate!
That's why Excellent ko bad karr raha hai rate!
Ma and Beta are intolerant to any other Sarkaar!
And Modi ke saath toh inn ko hai waise bhi khaar!
Intolerance charade is now on hold!
Mustering strength I've been told!
One aim is to woo Muslim Vote Bank !
Other...message to Foreigners ..on India don't bank!
They have tested this model and it's a success!
So prior to election ON button they will press!
A repeat like Dadri and Intolerance cry!
To whip up passions they will again try!
Then pro Congi Celebraties will jump into the fray!
Start chant 'for India please pray'!
AAPs Lokpal is being termed as Jokepal!
Some say it's Rokkpal!
Stop any attempts to get to the sachayee!
Now even Yogendra has joined in the Hai Duhayee!
Hear Madam has gone to USA!
Medical reasons Congis say!
BJP maintains a humane stance!
On Modi's Official trips you have seen Congress's war dance!
BJP's tolerance is commendable!
And even as a foe it's dependable!

Unagreeable
I do not agree. YV Reddy's grounding in IAS is equally contributory
to his success as RBI governor as conventional economists were chasing
market. Talent where ever it is need to be tapped. The exercise need
to be objective.

Modi losing balance
Modi seems to have lost balance with the great treatment, which he has
been receiving from abroad. So far there has been no wrong step from
his side in so far as the administration is concerned. Now the people
want to see things happening at ground level. His Government has already
taken some good policy decisions. Now is the time to follow their implementation.
A number of good governance reforms is already there i.e. recommendations
of the 2nd Administrative Reforms Commission on which government approval
whether the past/present government is there. The Secretaries and the
Chief Secretaries are going in a lackadasical manner. They are not conducting
their regular monthly meeting to review implementation of the accepted
recommendations. If this along with e-Governance is done regularly for
say one full year half the battle is won.

Disclosure of the name of the whistle blower under PIDPI
The appellant filed a complaint related to malpractices in purchase
of medical material like Fumy floor solution, Multipurpose cleaning
solution etc. to the CVC. He stated that after the receipt of
the complaint, the CVC had sent a letter to him seeking the identity.
The envelope containing that letter was superscribed as "Public
Interest Disclosure & Protection of Informer Resolution (PIDPI)".
In spite of this, the envelope was opened by the then Medical
Superintendent because of which his identity and name was unnecessarily
revealed. He sought to know whether the confidential letters in
favour of any doctor/employee can be opened by the medical superintendent
of the hospital and related information. The CIC issued a show
cause to the PIO to show-cause why penalty should not be imposed
on him for not furnishing the information within the prescribed
period and why compensation should not be awarded to the appellant.
Comments
The PIDPI requires the Competent Authority to conceal the identity
of the complainant and the documents or information furnished
by him, for the purposes of enquiry under this Act. Hence, the
officers and staff should be careful about which envelopes to
be opened and by whom.
