Will repo rate cut boost economy?
Though the government is quite hopeful that RBI's decision to reduce
the repo rate will certainly boost the country's economy but experts
have some doubt. The say that new monetary policy announcement will
have little impact. Unless government arrests the rising inflation things
are not going to change.
Badlaaw ki aandhi. ...
Many Modi baiters will change track,
After this US trip Modi they will back.
The FB interaction and San Jose speech,

Sharma toh likk saktha hai Bollywood picture ki kahaani.
Jee ha ... suited booted Anand Sharma,
Sharma Bhai kuch toh sharma !
Now he says ..on Modi's past kiya hai detective giri,
Dekho gusse mein Congress aur bhi girri (fell)
He says Modi's family was not that badly off,
In a interview Modi's Ma confirms life was very tough!!
Run up to General Election a Journo met his Ma,
And she confirmed what Modi says bilkul sahee kahaa.
Problem is Congress has no issues to rant about!
So on clothes and Modi's past they now shout .
Sonia Aunty apne pyaazo ko karro stop,
Your holier than thou gubaara could pop!
Because BJP can delve into your past,
Many aspersions will be cast.

stop OROP agitation
As an ex-SS commissioned Army officer who has gone through one war
and also now retired as a senior executive of an Oil PSU, I felt disgusted
at the undignified and non-officer like agitation carried out by some
of the defence veterans in Delhi. If OLQ is that differentiates an officer
from others, those leaders who were shouting slogans, did not show any
such quality. Even after government agreed to their major demands, their
greed in continuing with the agitation is unpardonable. Buoyed by the
support from a doting press and the politicians unwillingness to say
anything against the 'patriots', they went over board and made them
no more different from political agitators. It is known to everybody
that it is only those in non-officer category who retire before the
age of 40.They get a pittance of a pension. Instead of demanding jobs
in governmental institutions and PSUs for these released soldiers, the
agitating leaders were harping on OROP alone. Even now a retired superceded
Lt. Col gets a pension of more than Rs.40,000 and a brigadier about
Rs 50,000. Ours is a volunteer force and no one has forced them to join
the defence services. It is laughable that they are now finding enemies
in IAS babus. If their status and pension were downgraded in the 70s
the blame goes to their Chiefs who were kowtowing the then governments
with canine like submission.
They forget that there are others also who contributed in the growth,
stability and welfare of this nation. For example Oil PSUs. The work
condition in 60s,70s and 80s in oil sector without any protective devices
were worse than that of a peace time soldier and we did not have a war
for the last 43 years except for the battalion strength skirmish in
Kargil. These PSU employees competed with international oil giants in
adverse circumstances to bring up national oil companies like IOC. They
gave yeoman service to our armed forces during war and peace. What did
they get in return, a CPF half of which was contributed by they themselves
with no pension. All these when these PSUs were raking out huge profits
after profits year after year to the government coffers. The CPF of
Rs.10 or 20 lakhs they got in 80s and 90s are peanuts now. With dwindling
bank FD rates, many of those retired who gave their sweat and tears
for the national wealth are almost destitutes now. The companies have
forgotten them and the nation also. Every one knows that the present
government is a nationalist government with sympathy for soldiers and
veterans. But as an elected government they cannot abdicate their responsibilty
to the poor of this nation. Government has to balance their economics.
To make the government crawl, after they have agreed to accept OROP
and most of their other demands, with continued agitation is the height
of irresponsibilty. Pot bellied retired generals jumping and shouting
slogans gave a despicable sight especially when we are daily inundated
with news of farmers' suicides.

Rajan's freedom
Thank God for Raghuram Rajan. In an era when genuflecting abounds in
politicians, administrators, policemen and judges, this man stands out
for his clarity of thought, sound judgment and independent thinking.
That he is a renowned economist is well known, that he is an able administrator
is becoming clearer by the day to us in India as well. His independence
should be valued by all.

"Will PM abolish two-year tenure posts? "
PM Modi is opposed to tenurial appointments of Secretaries in ministries
of Defence, Finance and Home. It is discriminatory, causing heart burnings
It is OK for Cabinet Secretary, first among equals. Similarly, post-retirement
rehabilitations of bureaucrats promotes politico- bureaucratic unholy
nexus. It would be just and fair to stop such appointments forthwith.

Ignoring common man's woes when in service
Either Health Secretary or any other Secretary or bureaucrat - especially
belonging to the elite class (IAS) - does not think about the common
man's problem while in service. They feel the pinch only when they retire
and face similar problems as common man - then it is too late for him
to correct things, even if he wants to do it because by then he will
be powerless - may be worse than a common man.

Information regarding the officials who were compulsorily
retired
The Appellant sought information regarding the officials of the
Aligarh branches of the bank, who were compulsorily retired or
took voluntary retirement during the period January 2003 to December
2005. The information was denied by the Bank under Section 8 (1)
(j) of the RTI Act. The Appellant made certain allegations of
irregularities in the functioning of the Respondent Bank and stated
that disclosure of the information sought by him is also a matter
of larger public interest. The CIC noted that compulsory retirement
is a punishment imposed on officials as a result of disciplinary
proceedings. Referring to the Supreme Court judgment in Girish
Ramchandra Deshpande vs. Central Information Commissioner &
Ors. [http://www.rtifoundationofindia.com/dopt/SCDecision.pdf],
the CIC ruled that information concerning disciplinary action
against third party officials is exempt from disclosure in the
absence of a finding of larger public interest. Observing that
the information concerning those who obtained voluntary retirement
is also their personal information, the CIC upheld the order of
the bank and rejected the appeal..
Comments
Unless a larger public interest is invoked, personal information
is not liable to be disclosed.
