DEBATE

Debate - Future of AAP after internal bickerings ?

Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP's) recent mammoth victory in Delhi was a super-landslide (the winning party securing 90 percent or more seats). Even the Congress which had the natural advantage of leading the freedom struggle successfully and had stalwarts like Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi could never achieve it in any general election despite dominating the political scene in the country post independence. The rise of the Aam Aadmi Party indicated that people once again saw politics as an act of faith and hope but given the bickerings among its leaders in too a short span, the question that now arises is that What is the future of AAP ?

DEBATE (1)

The future is too bleak as the party has no leaders worth the name who can run a cohesive party. When all the leaders want that the party should be run only as per their diktats, it is bound to collapse.

BJP to get lesson in Bihar polls

BJP is going to learn a good lesson in coming Bihar polls. But, then it will be too late. Sir Khemka is not alone. There are total failures of CVO system and corrupt seniors have full authority.

Govt officers need counseling



All government officers need counseling on human behavior and psychology. Our officers have the habit of considering themselves king and then they start behaving also like one. What Khemka needs is psychoanalysis and counseling. He should try not to act like a hero and do his work honestly,

Subodh


Frequent transfers do not matter

Frequent transfer does not matter in case of Khemka unless station is changed. If you are in Chandigarh, only your offices are changed not station . It cannot be treated as transfer. Kindly find real transfer which is change of station or H Q.

Climbing up the bandwagon of Land Bill


Every opposition party, be it Congress, soon to be formed Janta Parivar, Mamta Bannerji's TMC and even some NGOs have climbed up the bandwagon of Land Bill to put the Government (in fact Modi ) on the floor. They say the bill is anti-farmer. Prime Minister has explained that it is, as a matter of fact, pro-farmer.it will generate crores of jobs in rural areas. What is the truth? Why do the opposition parties not specifically point out the anti-Kisan provisions in the bill instead of just going in overdrive to criticise it and stall it just to be in news. Let the people of this country know who is right and who is wrong.

DATE WITH RTI

Copies of correspondence regarding bank loan

The Appellant and her husband availed a housing loan and a case was filed by them in the Consumer Court regarding charging of excessive interest on the loan account. The Appellant sought copies of two letters exchanged between the zonal office and a branch of the bank. Respondents submitted that housing loan was granted to the Appellant for purchase of land and construction of house thereon, but construction was not carried out and the account has become NPA. The Respondents further submitted that copies of the letters sought by the Appellant were not provided as it is their internal correspondence and held in a fiduciary capacity. The CIC held that the correspondence pertains to the loan account of the Appellant and is not held by the Respondents in a fiduciary capacity. Disagreeing with the denial of information under section 8(1)(e) of the RTI Act, the CIC directed the PIO to provide the copies of the two letters sought by the appellant free of cost.

Comments

If there was any part of the correspondence which was of commercial interest to the bank, perhaps a claim could have been made for exemption from disclosure for that particular part of letter under section 8 (1) (d) of the RTI Act.
