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)
Future of AAP will remain intact it seems because until Congress corruption
has given life and too much oxygen till now. Now BJP will enrich AAP
by inducting the most corrupt General of Armed Forces VK Singh who was
pointed out by Supreme Court in age manipulation and brought down name
of Armed forces.

Clear definition of plant experience ?
That a person must have plant experience to be qualified for the post
of Director (HR) in a PSU should have been a pre-condition . Moreover,
a clear definition of the plant experience need to be defined. Having
not defined the same and not being a precondition prior to selecting
a candidate, seems to be ridiculous . I have not understood the rational
behind to deny someone who possibly have already been selected by the
competent selection board.

Say Sorry to whispers' followers
Verghees told cowards to the follower of whispers. He should say Sorry
to whispers' followers. People only solve their problems when nobody
hears poors' voice. And about officers, I know all are not same.But
a few officers are corrupted and misuse their powers. They create difference
between regular employees and loan basis employees. Secretary of Airports
Economic Regulatory Authority of India is doing like this. He has given
all powers to loan basis employees from PSU, while they are lower in
rank comparison to Central Govt. Officials. Now Chairman of AERA is
to notice.

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.
