Contest in Delhi is between Kejriwal vs Bedi

Aptly stated that contest in Delhi is between Kejriwal vs Bedi. All politicians are bowled out by Kejri & Bedi. Smartly, anti corruption brigade has fully occupied political space. Even Modi has left the stage from Delhi. Facts remain that anti corruption movement has shown great change and politics is changing. Interestingly Maken, only politician is nowhere in scene. Our agency has surveyed and found following result may be in Delhi elections:

Kejriwal---45 to 50 seats
Bedi------ 20 to 25 seats
Maken----0 to 0
Murari Chaturvedi

The Indian Government servants, whenever they see something lucrative and get free bee, their tail goes up. When they get power, they exercise negative power. It is the question of mentality, which is to be looked into and not the independence of Ministries/Departments. What we need is e-governance & transparent common platform wherein all government procurement and disposal should be made. This means that the Businessmen of this country will not be required to distribute sweets & dry fruits at various places during Diwali. Secondly, there will savings in form of sweets/dry fruits, health of citizens, energy conservation, pollution due to extra vehicles plying in streets and governments subsidy on petrol.

Vinod Rai had exposed corruption

There has been a sudden rush of comments in Whispers relating to the appointment of Vinod Rai as advisor.

All the comments are more or less critical of the appointment and it is only hoped that there is not a concerted effort to discredit him for the immense good done by him by exposing corruption in 2G and other scams.
