Kejriwal and Sisodia... Mineral water pe charcha (imaginary)
Kejriwal and Sisodia at a Vend after a long walk... sipping mineral
water and doing charcha
Kejriwal (A): Manish I have come to know Centre
is reducing prices of Petrol and Diesel
Sisodia (S): Arvind let's increase the VAT .... and we will say we
are trying to keep parity in price in the neighborhood....regional cooperation
.... we need the money badly ...
A: But if you recall when fuel prices went up it was I who demanded
that price of Diesel should be 38....
S: Tabh ki baat ... who will remember ...
A: No... no you forget they dig out stuff that even I have forgotten
I said ...
S: Arvind Public memory is short... remember all the promises we
made to Autowallahs... and the poor fellows carried our message behind
their Autos ... and then we just let them go...baddi baddi rajneethi
mein aisa hothaa hai... sorry sorry ...that must bring bad hurtful memories...
but thankfully no long term damage done .... hai na Arvind...hai na!!!
A: (feels his left cheek and grimaces) And if we say we are cooperating
with neighbors then tomorrow neighbors will say why don't you cooperate
on water??
S: Then use some excuse to say no.....Treaty and previous Government
commitment excuses .... arre Arvind in the next batch of ads we will
explain this .... apne kya doosro ke bhi waadhe nibhaaye....wah wah
wah!!
A: But to the best of my knowledge No Treaty on this .... and cannot
risk bringing water in as a bargaining point .... Water is a very touchy
issue there and here !!
S: You worry too much... our Media stays on a issue max for 3 days
and now for days to come IPL controversy will grab eyeballs .... we
can do it.... we need the money!! By the way what about our Party Funds???
A: Just a thought... let's grade Memberships .... and each grade
comes with its benefits. .. Rs 10 lac Gold Membership ...the benefits
.... AAP VIP car stickers... monthly lunch invitation with Cabinet...
CM will visit the Members home for tea once ....etc ... etc. ..
S: We can discuss this minutely .... only worry I have ... we announce
this and response is bad... we do not have the money to put up sham
applicants even though money will go from one pocket to other .... there
should be money to do this ...Arvind I see lack of discipline in the
Party cropping up...I propose all AAP MLAs should wear the same attire
.... will highlight our strength and inculcate discipline!!
S: Could also be a handicap. .... samjhe samjhe (winking) .... okay
uniform should be ...same topi ... summer ... Kurta, jeans and jhola
and sports shoes!! Winter ... waist coat and if it gets too cold a desi
coarse shawl...
A: And none of the garments will have pockets .... yaar this jhola
will send the wrong message!!
S: No ..no... jhola will identify us with NGO types ... the jhola
would be stitched at the top...so if there are any allegations we will
prove detractors wrong... 2 in 1 benefit !!
A : And we need a special greeting and anthem.
S : Your fav song Insaan ko Insaan se ho bhaichara... and salute...
both handed salute ... palms exposed ... to also show clean hands !!
A: Chalo salute is fine .... but anthem... I sang this song at Jindal
... and it was twisted to... AAP is a male Party ... why not Bhenchaara
and then we did not make a woman Minister .......I think our Anthem
should be..... leave the Anthem... we would end up being ridiculed ....
I am hungry... famished !!!
At long last they order tea and when tea comes there is a plate of Jalebis.

maarna hai kya Jalebi khilaa ke ... sugar ke mareej hai!!

Empanelled hospitals
Prakashji, Govt hospitals are not required to recommend treatment in
empanelled hospitals. You have to get permission from CGGS dispensary
for referral for treatment in such hospitals. CGHS dispensary cannot
deny permission in so far as permission is sought in empanelled hospital.
For getting tests, etc conducted, as prescribed by the specialist, you
can directly go to empanelled diagnostic centres / imaging centres with
a copy of specialist's prescription and copy of CGHS card and no permission
needs to be taken.

Corruption of bureaucracy
After the legendary corrupt bureaucrat Joshi couple, comes the case
of Yadav Singh of UP in whose case the High Court has ordered CBI investigation
as he is prima facie found to have indulged in corruption on a huge
scale (Rs. 1000 crore as per media report). This only highlights what
readers have been saying all the time. " It is high time to put
bureaucrats on a tight leash and ensure that they remain servants of
the people and not behave as masters and maharaja helping themselves
to loot." The main issue is lack of immediate punishment for their
deeds.
Where are the honest ones?
Manu Ashar
God bless SEBI
SEBI may be in trouble if they take all FMC officials or all staff
for running their commodity segment. If FMC officials/staff were capable
enough to run the commodity regulator smoothly then there wont be any
need for this merger. God bless SEBI.

DATE WITH RTI

Filing of RTI Application to know the fate of earlier application
An application was under the RTI Act seeking information regarding
action taken on an earlier RTI application and first appeal filed
by the Complainant. A reply was sent to him on but the Complainant
stated that he did not receive this reply. The Respondents volunteered
to send another copy to him. While noting that no further action
is due on this RTI application, the CIC observed that the right
course of action for an RTI applicant, in the event of the PIO
not responding to his RTI application, is to file an appeal to
the First Appellate Authority and thereafter, if necessary, an
appeal / complaint to the Commission. Instead, the Complainant
took upon himself to enquire into the delay on the part of the
Respondents in responding to his earlier RTI application by filing
yet another RTI application. Filing of such applications is avoidable
because the RTI Act provides for appeals / complaint process in
the event of unsatisfactory action by Respondents on an RTI application.
Such applications needlessly clog the system.
Comments
RTI act is a self contained act which provides
for the mechanism to deal with cases where replies have not been
received. An applicant should use the modalities provided under
the Act which can provide him the best results.
