AAP in Government.
M. N. Buch, the renowned expert on urban development has exposed the populist platform of Kejriwal which will certainly lead to more corruption. Moreover, Delhiwallahs need to pause and think that in a country where a lot of people do not get 40 litres per capita per day of water, does it make sense to receive 20,000 litres of water per month free of cost. Same applies to subsidised electricity of 400 units per month. Only the extremely degenerate householders should accept free water. It is difficult to guess the contribution of various factors that led to AAP getting 53% votes. But if Delhiwallahs voted for Kejriwal to get free water, they should be ashamed of themselves.
Prof. N. C. Saxena

Good Governance
Temptation to keep the meter reading below 401 through corrupt means. This is no good Governance.
K R Gatti

AAP benefitting touts
I fully agree with MN Buch's observations. The new scheme announced by AAP govt. is going to benefit the meter readers and touts. They will doctor the readings. Further Lakhs of Delhi residents don't have metered water connection; so no benefit for them. Similarly others living in society buildings will not get the benefits.AAP is only fooling people.

Corporates dictating appointments in PSUs
The appointments of Maharatna PSU units Chairman and Directors etc for the past two decades are done by the corporate houses. Even the promotions in these Maharatna PSU's are dictated by the Corporates. A day after retirement they are of the rolls of Corporates. The honest and sincere will not even reach the level of DGM cadre. PM should get it investigate and there should be reshuffle and also maintain a regional balance in these areas where leakages can be arrested.

Delhi needs honest CS

D K Thakur

Rajasthan's bad luck
The race for DGP in Rajasthan has soured. The send off party was grim and tightlipped. Officers were not even in speaking terms. One of the lowest days for IPS in Rajasthan. So the state in a path of trajectory does not have a good DGP to lead the force. The silence of the CM appears to be appropriate. Wish it would continue for some more days.
