IMAGINARY DEBATE

So ultimately Rahul agreed to debate Smriti Irani.... the debate was moderated by..... as it's imaginary....by yours truly

Me: Kindly do not get personal..... no rudeness ....

Rahul (R): As I have challenged Smriti ji to a debate ....I will start ..

Smriti (S) : Hold on ....it was me who challenged you to a debate .... start kiya jhoot se.... if you are so pro farmers why did you not get the Food Park made during UPA's time???

R: Minorities' rights have to be protected .... like MMS ji said... majority minority have the first right to Insists resources ....

S: Whaaaa.... Sir I am asking you why did you not get the Food Park made during UPA's stint???

R: It's very clear to me education cannot be saffronised .....

S: Sir is all okay with you....are you hard of hearing ... have you not heard what I have said ...

Me: Madam I think he does not want to answer any question on Amethi ..... next question !!

S: During UPA rule, there were so many cases where the powerful, shortchanged farmers and made a killing with the very same land and still Congress positions itself as the Messiah of Farmers! !

R: It's time India moved to inclusive growth .... why are Muslims not progressing?

S: Sir what kind of reply is this .... chalo ... maybe you do not want to answer this question too! You keep on joking about Achche Dinn ... but if you notice after Modi ji taking over ... you have are more regular in Parliament and you are taking up issues .... even your mass health has improved ....why even Kejri's cough has been cured and he has put on weight ...

R: Via LAB this government plans to grab land of farmers... we will not allow this to happen!!!

S: You have sidestepped my Achche Din question... but I will answer your barb on LAB! ! Sir this government has time and again said no land the government acquires will be given to corporates. Seems there is an element of guilt here on Congress part ... you people think we will do what Congress did!!!

R: Unless this Ggovernment does not safeguard the interests of majority minority it would have failed in its duties!!!

S: Sir I fail to understand ... I am debating and you are just sloganeering ..... Sir this is a debate.... you have to answer my questions !!!

R: ( takes out a few papers from his pocket) This is what I think we should do with the LAB.

S: I am appalled... you have not argued on any point on LAB and resorted to tear a few papers you call LAB... Sir the Bill is voluminous and if you had to tear it would take some time !! Shows how very little you know about LAB..... to me it looks you mugged up a few points .... more like coming prepared for an English paper and the exam is for GK.

Me: Debate over

Post retirement jobs

I fully endorse the idea that no retiring govt officer should be given post retirement jobs for 2-3 years. Those who got such jobs in the last two years especially those who got it under the Ministry where they have worked during the last 10 years of their career, should be removed and the posts also abolished.

Rassi jal gayi per bal nahin gaye

On May 29, the newspapers carried a news alongwith photographs announcing that Yaduvir Krishnadutt Vadyaar was anointed as the 27th King of Mysore. It is a great tragedy and an afront to our sovereignty that even after the princely states were abolished on the dawn of the independence in 1947 and the then rulers had signed the Instrument of Accession, the progeny of the erstwhile kings have not accepted this fact of history and refuse to be treated as just honourable citizens of the country like others and equal like others. They still feel that they are the Royal Blood and Heaven born and it is their birthright to be anointed as kings and queens and to be addressed as Maharajas or Rani sahiba or Rajmata. The innermost feelings, sense of superiority over all others and the sense of pride in their ancestry makes them feel a class apart from others. They expect obeisance from civil servants and all others when they meet them. Alas! even after 67 years of having becomea democracy, India is still divided into classes and sub-classes.

The other side of the coin is that certain communities continue to claim reservations and when not granted do not hesitate to cause untold hardship to the people in general by stopping train and road traffic. Rlyus. have incurred huge losses because of Gujjar agitation and so also goods traffic on road. Who will recoup the losses and who will restore sanity in the misguided Indians. Will the politicians of all hues and parties sit together and take a decision to do away with all reservations and make India a really classless society now? Has any democracy progressed on the basis of such stupid fallacies ?

Health care for pensioners

The Health Minister of India perhaps does not know what CGHS is. That is why no facilities for pensioners who are senior citizens even when they had deposited heavy amount for getting pensioners' CGHS card. MPs and politicians are getting medicines delivered at their residence by CGHS. Their servants are also drawing unlimited medicines from CGHS dispensaries. All on account of CGHS beneficiaries.

RK Bansal

Entry for stenos

I beg to differ with Kumar. Entry for stenos is still 10 +2 and for other grades it is now minimum graduation, even for a clerk. Plus shorthand has lost its significance due to technology of computers. There is no parallel between the two. PA/PS/PPS/SPPS/Staff Officers do nothing except yes sir and act as khabris (informers) and keep secrets of personal life of the officer. We are in globalized world now executive authority, accountability and performance principles be the guidelines for good delivery in the GoI rather than having yes men.

Harish Kumar

Stenographers' issue

I fully agree with the views and analytical approach of VP Sharma and Kumar on Stenographic Service. Stenographer to PSO no one is incompetent to render any duty assigned by the senior bureaucrats... To maintain or interact with a JS one steno can easily accommodate but several US rank officers. If both the cadres will be merged it will be much convenient to Stenographic Cadres to pursue their career progression.
