BUREAUCRACY

Who is India's Foreign Minister?
India's first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru also acted as its Foreign Minister. When the matters relating to Foreign Affairs came up before the Cabinet, Nehru acted like a school master, asking questions and explaining answers. Last September, during an informal conversation with journalists, it came to light that Sushma Swaraj did not know that the following week the Scots were going to vote in the Scottish Independence Referendum. With the Minister, as also the Minister of State, lacking interest in foreign affairs, PMO is stepping in to fill the gap. At the same time presently there is no IFS officer who has any influence in the PMO. No one seems to know, who is the 'real ' Foreign Minister.

Why exit polls went wrong in Delhi Assembly Election 2015 ?

Bureaucracy has understood how to become politician in Indian democracy. Bureaucracy knows how to raise funds e.g. Kejariwal left government service, joined Anna Hazare movement where funds were pouring, realized it's very interesting and easy to have more and more funds without any extra efforts. Fund contributors can be any one but mostly anti-nationals gets attracted towards such politicians.

Why Kejriwal chosen Central Delhi constituency on both occasions ? Because all government servants live here and have become corrupt in last 65 years of Congress rule. They have corrupt practices and don't like to be disciplined in their working. They prefer politician and system, who just increase their DA, pension etc. continually without interruption.

All workers, political agents, candidates of Kejriwal are mostly family members of government servants including retired.

BJP has understood this politics and brought Kiran Bedi. Unfortunately, she is honest task master and very strict which didn't attracted corrupt government servants.

You see, Congress already knew and did this sort of politics and that is why they brought Ajay Maken instead of Arvind Lovely to have lesser and reduce fight and enjoy the defeat of BJP from behind which is also evident from last times support to AAP.

That's why exit poll gone wrong and they have won 97 per cent of Delhi Assembly seats.
This sort of victory never happened in history of Indian democracy, not even in people's mind, not even in the era of booth capturing or unprecedented political circumstances like-1984 etc.
And more surprising is that polling has 67 per cent and victory in 97 per cent seats. Very strange results.

This is very bad precedence and dangerous trend for Indian democracy. Hope fellow citizen may understand. It's an observation & experience.

Finance Minister to learn lesson

FM has to learn lesson from Delhi election. Taking anti-people measures like removing LPG subsidy through an arbitrary economy line will not work. If it is to be removed, please remove from all or leave the people belonging to BPL. Do not create another line for this purpose rich and poor. FM has to make some efforts and innovations to increase the number of tax payers whose taxable income is more than a crore. Do not stick to old numbers. It means no tangible is done in this direction. Efforts by IT industry is to collect tax from small tax payers where all energy and time is wasted due to large numbers. Create a data base for the people having cars more than 25 lakhs, house more than 2 crores, properties more than 5 crores, foreign tours more than three in a FY, staying in 5 star super deluxe hotels, spending in advertisements, criket, entertainment industry, media etc. It will stop generation of black money.

Why post of Secretary Official language vacant ?

Can the present BJP government explain the justification of giving the charge of Secretary official languages to some other officer additionally when many 1981 batch IAS are waiting for secretary posting. Only two possible reason...to adjust some one at lucrative post or Hindi is not important for BJP. Ye public hai Sab janti hai.

This is with reference to the comments of Khosla regarding ICFRE.I am not aware of any rule where postings in any dept are 'approved' by finance or expenditure department. Postings are approved by the concerned Ministry or DoPT.

Modi still continuing with top officials of UPA regime

PM Modi is relying on same factors which were reason for defeat of UPA government like slow development in infra projects. In place of accelerating, he is going on opening new company by sidelining already existing NHAI, not keen to address the problem. He is still in planning stage. Still continuing with top officials of UPA regime.
