POLITICS

This is History (113)
The Empire of Spain faded away. In the days of Charles V, it was said that the Sun never set on his empire, a saying which is often repeated about another proud and overbearing empire today.

 

 

 



Bihar ministers to face the music ?
Bihar ministers in the Union Council of Ministers are going to face music following BJP debacle in the state. At least three ministers are sure to lose their chair. Instead MPs from Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal are going to be inducted in the Union Cabinet.

 

 



Amit Shah to continue!

Political observers believe that as long as blessings of Narendra Modi are there, Amit Shah cannot be touched. He will be on the roads only if Modiji decides.

 

 

 

 


Mooh ke bal girte hai tede log....
Modi ji yeh mat bhoolna!
Out of power Congress se padhe ga jhoojna!
Congress over 65 years has acquired the infrastructure and technology to grab power. ... And has the deepest possible pockets ....though nowadays Congress says we are out of funds...even if you tell this to a 'layman' he or she would burst out laughing. Mission ...block ....create strife .... damn is on. This Award Wapsi is a clear example ...after the Bihar elections got over..The Wapsi stopped ....it felt like someone ne bandh kar diya nalka ....and now Congress has a partner ... AAP! And crassness has been outsourced to Laloo.
Respected oldies who Modi helped to win polls!
Are hitting self goals!!
They are part of BJP and when they resort to discussing Party matters in Public it's perceived a self goal by BJP! They could have picked up the phone and spoken to Modi ...but no...They resorted to penning a letter.releasing it and then sending it to the Party! Do they have the guts to pen a letter to Bhagwat and point out his blunder ...just see the attendance at Modi's rallies ...there were no charges by Laloo and gang that the crowds were rented...so then how come did not convert to votes ...because in a State where reservation is akin to oxygen, making such a comment like Bhagwat made was like committing hara-kiri! Less said the better about Shotgun... he is not CM material and very good he was refused...once he loses 'embarrass BJP value' Nitish will stop taking his calls!

Karr bhala hona chahiye bhala!
Jo kehta hai yeh hai 1 number la jhalla (idiot)!


Modi out of sheer emotion committed himself to OROP.... came to power and started work on giving it! Despite this some Faujis started protesting ... often they were advised ...you do not fight with a surgeon while you are on the Operating Table...but they wanted to fight..remember.... first in its Quackery Congress reduced basic dosage of 'Salary' and stopped dosage of 'OROP'....successive Congi Quacks refused to change medicine despite patient getting worse ....disease got bad...UPA Quackery ...rather than prescribing much needed surgery prescribed Homeopathy cure (500 cr)....no appreciation for 'Dr' Modi who has carried out effective surgery ... and you have Faujis 'ordering Government' ... 'Unacceptable.... Reject'!! Modi Government could have just demarcated 2500 cr for OROP and boasted ... we have allotted 5 times what Congress allotted for OROP and sat tight ...but the sentimental type of guy Modi is ...did his best to deliver. And most Faujis are happy ..excepting the political ones. From 10 years equalization down to 5 years... past PMR included (though technically do not deserve).....this is not an Industrial Dispute that Faujis can have their reps on the Committee or negotiate!! Base year 2013 ...they can take it up with Judicial Commission in case they want it to be 2014..in the present conditions Modi has undertaken apt surgery!

Joke doing rounds ...this Diwali in Bihar tables turned on Good and Evil won!

Only Modi can check IAS
The injustice done by IAS to other services can only be corrected by PM Modi. He has the guts to take such steps. If the centre is working very well, it is because other services are doing well and without any fear or influence. Majority of IAS do not like strong men like Modi, but they encourage corrupt political parties like RJD, Cong etc. God give strength to Mr. Modi to face IAS and address the issues raised by other Group A services. Let there be only one Group A service by providing at lease pay parity.

Caution to Finance Minister

Finance Minister is trying to implement arbitrary price policy for LPG cylinders as subsidized and non subsidized for people having income more than certain limits. Please first give up the subsidies being given to Parliament canteen, subsidized license fee for Govt. bungalows in Lutyens Zones, free electricity/water/telephone etc. before implementing. The poll results in Delhi and Bihar are lessons to learn. Do not try to implement which is illogical. Give subsidy to people who belong to BPL and do not create another artificial category to implement something new. Be cautious.

Denying them backseat driving, be ready to be driven away!

So, kudos Bhagwat for your Bhagwat Saptah. You have successfully chained resurgent Narendra Modi and all the Indians who were hoping for change. Indians resist change too much. What can be a better example than the Bihar verdict. Modi didn't allow RSS the privilege of backseat driving/remote facility. So Monseur Bhagwat, you can appoint your population Commission in Ranchi or are you planning to shift it to Kolkata/ Guwahati/Lucknow? Bhagwat, Adityanath, Sakshi, Shiv Sena, Bihari Babu and Amit Shah can have a gala celebration for achieving a feat that the Congress was wanting but hopeless to achieve. And second backseat/remote is emerging in Bihar, where the loser or the winners don't as yet know whether they have lost or won. In the meantime, the foreign hands (no Pak) are giggling with immense mirth at this unexpected turn of events.

Nitish Kumar's taking over of Bihar once again is a welcome step. His previous innings as CM and as builder of Naya Bihar proved him as a unique genius responsible for revolutionizing and transforming a state with invisible law and order and on a fast track to backwardness, to a state with best law and order maintenance, sound finances, effective Governance, and enviable development. I have had the opportunity to stay in Bihar for more than a month and be a witness to the great achievements of this simple man. Undoubtedly, some compromises had to be made, but all these were made for the welfare of his people. After seeing his achievements, it is not difficult to travel to the times of Chandra Gupt Maurya and Kautilya and of what metal they were made of. He has put Bihar on the path to glory singlehandedly. He is the one and only CM in India, who has changed the destiny of his state in record time. He has the potential to change the history and destiny of the Indian nation. Let us hope, the traditional politics does not destroy this genius of modern India. In late 1950s and early 1960s, Pt Jawaharlal Nehru used to tell the other CMs that they should go to Punjab to learn the art of Governance from S. Partap Singh Kairon, the then CM Punjab. Now we have another trainer in Nitish Kumar to inspire others to emulate him in the art of governance. Many people have apprehensions that the new dispensation in Bihar, with RJD as number one party, may not be able to carry forward the agenda of welfare of people of Bihar and its development and maintenance of law and order. RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav, has been the most towering, steadfast, and staunch crusader against communalism for more than a quarter century. It was he, who had stopped his Rath arrested Advani. He has not even once wavered from the path of secularism to gain access to power. As Railway minister of India, his achievements were internationally known and even Harvard Business school recognized it. In Bihar rural areas he is worshipped as messiah for deliverance of the poor people from bonded labour. He understands the current situation as prevailing in the country and may not succumb to the allurements of personal and dynastic gains. Bihar may, once again, lead India to glory as in the times of Ashoka. It may continue to provide revolutionaries like Jay Prakash Narayan and statesmen like Dr. Rajinder Prasad.

Well done

Very good VJS. Bihar voters who voted for Lalu have not thought of their and families' future under that regime.

Govt. should publish its version on OROP

Our respected Prime Minister Narendra Modi Ji, I as a common man and an well wisher of BJP, would like to write and inform that regarding OROP, government should publish its version with logic and understanding of the facts of the same in the newspapers so that general public is made aware of true facts that why all the reasonable or unreasonable demands of the retired army officers cannot be met or whatever their demands has been accepted are the true and reasonable. The government should also explain to the general public and a team of Army officers that the demands met are not the only one but looking into the revenue out go and expenditure to be made are from the pockets of the tax payer of the country. I hope government will come out with a white paper on the same to make awareness in the general public. As on date we are only reading only retired army officers version regarding OROP. Regarding Bihar loss that is not only due to Mr. Modi Ji but due to his coterie of people for their unreasonable and none required remarks on caste and other things which irritated the voters of Bihar that they started feeling that BJP is party which wants that the fight is between different castes and BJP should get benefited from the same. BJP and its leaders should immediately visit the voters from door to door and tell them that if whatever has been said in the election days should not be taken for negative. The Bihar election should have the focus of corruption which JDU and RJD have committed when in power at Center or in state. Everyone who might be from Bihar or wherever know all this. In today time, remarks on caste, beef or others are matter of the past and today people wants first their livelihood to be safe and second they get jobs for the same. Again request BJP should tell all its leaders in India to visit the public and make them aware d that how new policies being adopted or being made will benefit them in the coming time. Most of the BJP MPs are not taking their constituents to know the BJP policies which would benefit the public and should understand their difficulties and take them along for general public awareness.

Returning of medals

There is hue and cry about returning of medals, awards etc by so-called intelligentsia and film-makers etc. Are they also returning the money received with the Award/medal? If not, they should do return the money along with interest, otherwise they are shedding crocodile tears just to gain favours from the present ruling party!

DATE WITH RTI

Duplicate degree

The appellant sought for the enrollment number & roll number of a student who was enrolled for the BA course in the year 1993 & passed 3rd year in 1995. The information was denied claiming that it is very difficult to manually search for the old record as computerization has been done from 2006 onwards. The appellant submitted that the degree certificates of the student were snatched and destroyed by her stepmother. The CIC directed to search the relevant record and provide the information along with the duplicate certificates.

Comments

Many cases have been brought to the public notice where students are running from pillar to post for getting copies of the old records. It is the duty of the public authority to ensure proper upkeep of the documents in its control.
