Rahul Gandhi - can be the trendsetter ?
RG you are having a pretty good experience of Politics as well a very
balanced approach you follow , using your charismatic power one wonder
you have to do is motivate your congress man ALWAYS & forever until
you are placed in the power . No matter how bad the party man has done
in previous (Dishonesty, Losers, anti-approach etc), He still has the
charisma to convert the public in your favor (100%). You listen now
& act later, Motivate now & react later, things will start changing
all over the country & the Team will be much stronger. Don't take
opinion before meeting your members instead give them a new approach
as how we will be heading in the new India. You are in the center, talk
to every elected member, previous strongman's on phone and assign them
their duties. Your sweetness, patience and trust can make a huge difference.
Your state wise spokesman's should be louder & more active than
you. Best wishes

" Ashwathama of Indian bureaucracy"
A silent majority of Indian bureaucrats comprises of quiet performers.
Honest and least bothered about wooing the political class. Such high-octane
top bureaucrats diligently pay income tax with no desire to own assets
disproportionate to their known sources of income unlike the former
Tamil Nadu Chief Secretary. On the contrary, there is a vocal minority
of high-ranking bureaucrats - smart, flamboyant, obsessed with keeping
their hierarchical superiors and the political class in good humour.
Their careers are assured long after retirement. This was quite common
under UPA regime. Things have not changed. Not even marginally. Strange
but true, some ex-bureaucrats have managed to sneak into present ruling
dispensation and prosper - hopping from one sinecure to another. They
never retire from public service and loose their comfort zones. They
are evergreen Field Marshals of manipulative bureaucracy. Merit, as
always, becomes the casualty.

Grievance of a railway pass holder
A retired Master Craftsman claimed that despite being eligible
for first class pass, the Railways had not been honouring several
clauses related to the journey performed by a pass holder. He
sought Information regarding rules relating to privilege passes
issued to railway employees. The Commission observed that under
the provisions of the RTI Act, 2005, only such information as
is available and existing and held by the public authority or
is under control of the public authority can be provided. The
PIO is not supposed to create information that is not a part of
the record. He is also not required to interpret information or
furnish replies to hypothetical questions. Similarly, redressal
of grievance, reasons for non-compliance of rules /contesting
the actions of the respondent public authority are outside the
purview of the Act. Further, the CIC observed that the appeal
relates to the grievance of the retired employee regarding utilization
of railway passes and lack of awareness and sensitization of the
work force dealing with such matters. This aspect needs to be
re-examined by the competent authority to provide relief and succour
to the affected retired employees in an objective and transparent
manner.
Comments
Even though the redressal of grievance is outside the purview
of the RTI Act, it has been frequently used to obtain some relief.
The Information Commission has been sympathetic to injustice metered
through a system which is not objective or opaque.
