POLITICS
This is History (358)
The socialist Democratic Party was hard hit, but it survived.Bismarck's
terrorism could not kill it ;success proved much more harmful.
No party has PM material !
No existing political party in the country has even five such leaders
who can be said to be Prime Minister material.
Recruitment Exams in Floods
It is surprising that there is so much of hype on reservations in exams
but no government pays any attention to the fact that holding large
scale recruitment tests in August is a wholesome injustice to candidates
from affected areas. UPSC held its Civil services prelims on 7th August
when several parts of the country were badly affected by floods. CM
of TN infact requested PM to postpone the prelims but nothing happened.
Thousands of youngsters were denied opportunity due to rains. Now Rajasthan
PSC is holding its RAS prelims on 28th August amidst heavy rains and
when 6 districts are badly affected by rains. Are our Governments and
Public Service Commissions so cut off from reality?

Strange !
It is very strange to note that PMO office is to deal with officers
who are trying to bring influence in a situation when each and every
officer. Is oblivious of the fact that the power centre is and who is
skimming the milk in the process of postings PMO most of the times makes
avoidable efforts to find out something which may not be existing at
all because of the trust deficit and with the self style acclaim that
Only PMO is wise.
This ministry is already famous for not soliciting aby illicit favours
and that it only gives sermonisation without doing even the bonafide
jobs The Govt should not forget that the socialization with the govt
machinery is minimized whenever This NDA govt is voted to power.it is
good in a way that undue favours cannot be drawn from this dispensation
But yet the Govt should ensure that the departments are really geared
up to deliver the things which are still at status quo what it used
to be earlier
Previous regimes fell because of excessive abuse of powers leading to
scams and rampant corruption was the buzzword but only honesty is also
not the only attribute to serve the nation Let PMO involve people from
private sector also who have actual exposure of tolerating at many times
the ugly face and working of Govt and they can give more pliable solution
to take care of society holistically and system cannot and should not
be run by remaining alienated from the society particularly this style
adopted by bureaucratic steel frame who are still submerged with the
mindset of colonial period
Mahendra Goel
Are BJP ruled states really corrupt ?
Sir, with ref to OP meena , "BJP ruled states corrupt" , its
true. if grading is given you will be surprised to see that the BJP
ruled states will be top rankers. the report on corruption index was
made by the NGO here in rajasthan . they grade based on forced funding
and harassment by politicians, delayed work by bureaucracy , deceiveing
after being bribed for work, involvement of CMO , ministrys etc . Rajasthan
tops in corruption, followed by MP, Followed by Chhatisgarh. However
, nothing heard in Maharastra surprisingly in Haryana corruption in
politicians is heard, but not to an extent that people would feel heat.
J P Meena, DGO Retd
UP, Bihar are less corrupt ?
It meens that UP, Bihar are less corrupt than BJP ruled States. It hs
became a fashion to see our name in media start criticise BJP left right.
Suresh Kumar
Ritish period slavery !
Chatterjee`s brief on the civil services is reflective of the hollow
knowledge that he holds about the bureaucracy and the measures that
need to be enforced to contain if not correct the rot that has set in
this public oriented profession. Dispensing with the examination visa-a-viz
the service is no solution to the ailment and once again reflect his
frustration, intolerance and lack of aptitude to face or counter the
criticism that is genuinely growing by leaps and bounds not of the civil
service but for the ones who occupy these positions undeservingly or
in an unbecoming manner. While there is no harm in picking up people
of substance from the open market, it may not be the sole criteria.
Examination process of UPSC is undisputedly the best and no one questions
that at any point of time. It is the subsequent training that need to
be reviewed and redefined.The training has to keep reminding the civil
servants that Britishers having left India 70 years ago there are no
slaves to serve them any more and they are now the servants of people
on whose money they occupy the seats , equally permitted by the public
in the hope that these masters will use their skill and knowledge to
serve them by contributing to the growth and development of this country
in a manner that reaches out to the last common man rather than boasting
of their positions and keeping the public at bay with complete arrogance.

Tendency to belittle other services
Unfortuantely, Some of the IAS officers have the tendency to belittle
other services' officers. They should be taught to know how to get work
from the colleagues of other services. At district level they belittle
IPS officers!
Ashok
Will govt investigate ?
Southern steel units of Salem, Bhadravati will soon hive off. This is
due to loss making of maharatna PSU. Will govt investigate the reasons
for loss making through CBI ? Why this maharatna PSU has not paid Arears
to its executives since 2014 ?
Venki
Very honest person !
I have worked as PS to very senior level officers in GoI and I knew
Harish Gupta very well. I can say that he is a very honest person. Perhaps
he could not withstand the pressure of corrupt political leaders while
discharging his duties. On the other hand P C Parekh withstand the pressure.
But still I say that H C Gupta is a very honest human.

Action taken by Bar Council against Advocates
Information regarding the number of complaints against the advocates
under section 35 of the Advocates Act for the past 10 years, the
number of cases that were disposed of, the number of advocates
alleged to have committed misconduct or unethical conduct as provisions
of Advocates Act, 1961 etc was sought. The CIC directed the Bar
Council of Punjab & Haryana, Chandigarh to furnish the information
sought. The CIC further directed that the action taken under Section
35 by the Bar Council should be published under Section 4(1)(b)
of the RTI Act on their own without anybody asking for it. The
Commission also directed the First Appellate Authority of the
Bar Council of Punjab & Haryana, Chandigarh to show cause
why disciplinary action cannot be recommended against him for
not taking up the first appeal of the appellant. The CIC observed
that though the Bar Associations are different from Bar Councils,
they are also constituted under a law made by Parliament, i.e.,
the Advocates Act, 1961. They too have a duty to inform the people
about their activities.
Comments
The Bar Council is a statutory body constituted under Advocates
Act 1961, to protect ethical standards of Advocates and admonish
the members for misconduct. This order has implications for all
similar bodies which oversee the professional conduct.
