Kappdo pe attke

Rahul kapdo pe attka ,
Asli muddo se bhatka!!

Attire fixated .... its pychology!!
This is my analogy !!

Jabh koyi hothaa hai aise nangoo pangoo (notionally),
Oh sochda hai kapdeya di killi teh uttaaran waale noo tangoo *!!

We know what some Leaders simplicity does cost!!
And because of them lacs of crores Nation lost!!

Suit Boot ...... Loot Scoot!!
Started with one suited Q who scooted and got back loot!

All the cannonballs Congress fires at Modi,
Invariably land up in Congress's own goddi (lap)!

Nitish and Laloo missed Rahul's rally!!
Sent reps to show with Congress they are still pally!

But message was not lost!!
Being seen on same stage with Rahul has a steep cost!!

Rahul aaaye...kapdo pe bolle aur khissak gaye!!
Attendees lamented ...humaare liye kuch nahi kahe!

Now what is meaning of fisherman caught fish is best!
Fish caught by Trawlers fails Rahul's taste test!!

Kuch bhi bolta hai!!
Now Congis lament bezati karwata hai jabh bhi mooh kholta hai!

Phoolka has exited AAP!!
Defenitely did it apne aap!!

He thought Kejri was serious about 1984 injustice!!
But now he realized it was all for votes and not quest for justice !!

Now AAP's looking towards Punjab !!
Chalo hopefully Punjab will give apt jawaab!!

SOP of AAP is create hype ..already won,
Every election by AAP this has been done!!

And Dengue in Delhi has put AAP in dock!!
Soh rahe theh kya ..AAP ko people karr rahe hai mock!!

Centre sent 26 advisories to Dilli Sarkaar!!
Ignored and so now padh rahi hai Dengue ki maar!!

Yaad rakho... yeh sabh Drama baazi abh nahi challegi!!

IRS officer as Revenue Secretary

The suggestion made in this column to anoint an IRS officer as revenue secretary is devoid of any logic or reasoning. A Taxman can never be an administrator much less a development oriented agent which is the hallmark of IAS. With his rigid outlook and vigilant mind an IRS may bring to halt the smooth functioning of tax administration. His contribution to tax terrorism in the last decade cannot be forgotten so easily. The present dispensation cannot afford to risk the next general elections. The IRS is now known only for failures in International Taxation as well as domestic taxation when their unprofessional tax demand orders are struck down at various courts. The Judicature has to go out of the way to confirm certain Tax demands which otherwise needs to be thrown out. The Tax officers are too busy to get their promotions and target a few honest officers by misusing vigilance directorate. No other service is there with an instance of four batches of IRS officers promoted to the post of commissioners. Any administrative authority would ensure a gap between each batch before promotion to maintain the seniority rule. How can an IRS officer administer the Tax Machinery ?

A Regular Visitor

Revenue Secretary?

The time has come to have a revenue secretary-neither from the IAS or IRS. He should be well-versed in both the taxes, preferably an eminent academician in the mould of Prof Kelkar or Prof. Shome....that will give a fresh perspective...

IAS Revenue Secy and IRS Home Secy

I read with interest the logic of KP Singh regarding the necessity of a non IRS revenue secretary to ensure the momentum in tax regime. On this logic, IRS officers must also be posted as tourism secretaries, home secretary, telecom secretary, etc. to ensure that the people of India get service and not snobbish administration in which even an IAS probationer feels that he is true ruler of this great country. I wish I could provide you the videos of how they talk and behave and if the Prime Minister sees that he will recommend disbanding this service .

Fresh air by political executives

About the posts of Secretary being manned by the IAS/ IRS etc, one thing which is being overlooked in the current debate on your esteemed channel is that fresh air is never brought in by Secretaries to the Government, who are bound to be bureaucratic. Fresh air is brought in by the political executive, as contemplated in the Constitution of India. As everyone is aware, e.g. the Finance Ministers of the country have been outstanding men of affairs, to mention a few from the recent past, from P Chidambaram to Pranab Mukherjee to Arun Jaitley. They are all exceptionally intelligent, learned, well experienced in public affairs and sound leaders. They are supposed to guide the decision making and they do. In our democracy, the role of Secretaries in bringing in new ideas etc is extremely limited. To attribute more to the Secretaries than they deserve would be doing a disservice to our democracy.

Development in CPMF

In the din of Affairs a la Indrani, OROP and now the elections in Bihar, the media seems to have lost sight of one major development in r/o the Central Para Military Forces. The High Court of Delhi in its Landmark judgment in S S Guleria and other vs. UOI and others and 6 other related Writs has ruled that the Officers Cadres of all these CPMF are organized services like any other Group A service of the Govt of India. This will go a long way in enhancing the morale of these gallant officers who are faced with war like situation every day be it on the borders or in internal security while countering militants and extremists.

These officers were so far neither getting the benefit of promotion because all promotions in CPMF are vacancy based and the pyramid is so steep that very few can hope to reach beyond the rank of Commandant i.e. SSP in civil Police or Col in Army. Moreover these officers were also faced with early retirement because the retirement age for the CPMF is 57 years up to the rank of Commandant. Thirdly, these officers were also not getting the benefit of non functional upgradation of pay because they are not recognized as Organized Service/ Cadre. Now armed with the court order that the Govt is ignoring its own orders/instructions which recognize thee cadres as organized service since 1986, these officers are hopeful that their treatment as third class citizens by Govt will end and they will soon be extended the benefits long due to them.

Non-performing latecomers beware

Govt of India is proposing strict action for non performing late comers to the extent that they could be out of job. What about the performance of ministers. For appointing chairman NBA the post is vacant for one and half year and interview has been taken in may2015 but they could not order in four and half month ,is it the performance. For such an important issue like biodiversity conservation which is closely link with climate change and development of our country govt of India is not bothered. MoEF ministry is not serious and its performance is in question.PMO is kept in dark and it seems that ministers and bureaucrats are not afraid of PM now and they started functioning like before just like in congress regime.
