Demonitization by PM and Whispers
The idea of banning high denomination notes was published by WIC
on Feb 22, 2010 and again in March 2010.
http://www.whispersinthecorridors.com/news.html
The two news items in the above context were written by N Natarajan
and was published with a question of Political Will ! Now action by
the Prime Minister has shown that such political will still prevails
in this country.
POLITICS
This is History (447)
So ended , in defeat and disaster, the Russian Revolution of 1905.
Will BJP rule the country for next 20 years
?

50 thousand + benami properties in NCR ?
If sources are to be believed, 50,000+ benami properties are reportedly
found in Delhi NCR. More than 17,000 such properties are in Noida and

"Demonetisation - a boon for Banking Industry"
Known for having showed her acumen in various segment in the banking
industry, Mrs. Trishna Guha, who is presently Executive Director in
Dena Bank, is of the view that demonetization - brought in by the Modi
government recently - would be largely beneficial for banking industry.
In an informal chat with the Whispers In The Corridors (Editor- Sanjay
Sharma & Vice President - Abul Hassan) during her recent visit to
Bhopal, Mrs. Guha said that with huge increase in deposits following
demonetization, banks will now not be compelled to borrow money because
of rise in low cost deposits.

Congrats India....
I take the 5.13 local and today it's my chance to treat my Train Buddies
and I carry along with me
Samosas, Pedas and Tea
.
I handover these to my Train Buddies.
Akbar: It's not your birthday
why the Pedas ( because we usually
get on item with the Tea)!!!
Me: Arre haven't you heard Modi has been chosen by the Readers of TIME
as the Person on the Year
Akbar: Pucca Ambani has a hand in this
..
Amar: Abhe Kejriwal ke Chele

.. are they or they Countrymen ashamed
. and very soon TIME will put out why Modi was chosen
in
the case of Hitler he got it for a negative image.....Hitler was labeled
the "greatest threatening force that the democratic, freedom-loving
world faces today." I think Modi has been awarded for Ratifying
the Climate Control Treaty and for the path breaking decisions he's
taken
especially those for upliftment of the Poor!!! And TIME
will put out the reasons in brief for him being chosen!!!!
Akbar: You forget Indira's Gareebi Hatao slogan
Amar: Arre they don't give awards for slogans
..if it was for
sloganeering your Kejriwal would have been in the run!!
Me: And just next to the Times Tweet * that names Modi as Person of

Amar: Chall jhoote
you forgot I was standing just behind you on
a couple of occasions and then you were cribbing
. how can Public
be so understanding on being inconvenienced so much!!!
Me: Public understands that Modi's taken this decision for the Nation
.
Political Parties may ascribe different stupid reasons
but like
they say Public hai yes sabh jaanthi hai!!!
Amar: And now in both Houses Congress MPs are doing Jaap ( holy recitation)
of
.. Modi
Modi
Modi
.. I think Jawdekar even
pointed this out during a reply to a question
.. I think it's good
to do Jaap of a Faqir!!!
Antony: And I read on Whispers this morning that a few Netas and Bureaucrats
will go to jail
Me: Baat nikkle gi toh durr takh jaye gi
.. another change in India
.
now the PM does not do whitewashing and clean chitting
. that took
place in the old days!!! Now you pay for your sins!!!
Antony: Don't worry we have a very vigilant Media
.
Amar: And now to counteract any subjectiveness in the Media there is
the Social Media

Constants & Dynamics of History
History is the sum total of the constants and the dynamics of politics
in human life. Today metaphors like the Rajsuya Yagya, Mahabharat, Dharmaraj,
Pandavas, Kauravs, Hastinapur, Kurukhsetra, Chhediraj, Jarasandha etc.
might sound incongruous but carry the same force of political dynamics
as also the constants. "We" (that is the masses) can see the
clouds of Mahabharat-II that "they" (political power seeking
individuals or parties) are seeding in the geographical region of Hastinapur
to Kurukhsetra. The Pandavas had their Dharmaraj, whom they obeyed though
without always agreeing being exactly like him. The Kauravas sought
to play their game by stoking the ambitions in the heart of the prince
they designated illegitimately the Yuvraj. The feud aggravated to the
scale of a full war ultimately, but the constant remains to be noted:
it was a war between the "ideals" and the "practicals".
One doctrine was that he who controls the state power, legitimately
secured or immorally arrogated, is always right and the other was that
only those for ethical governance were entitled to rule. The idealists
performed the Rajsuya Yagya and sent out a decorated horse throughout
their territory to announce their authority and securing allegiance
of local lords. If any challenger tried to stop the horse, he had to
fight a battle and prove his superiority. If the horse came back to
the performer of the Yagya, with rich tributes from the vassals, the
performer established his authority. The Rajsuya Yagya horse has returned
to HQs with commendable tributes from all vassals. The battle lines
are already drawn. The war is to break out soon. While Kurukhsetra rehearses
the Gita again, Hastinapur is already in a state of high political turmoil.

"Am I needlessly paranoid ?"
I have decided not to go to theatres to see movies as I do not wish
to be hauled up for contempt of recent Supreme Court's verdict and slapped
with charge of Sedition. Moreover, I am not in the business of competitive
Nationalism. I feel, I am a great nationalist and a greater patriot.
But, I do not wish to carry the tag of Nationalism up my sleeve. Let
no one force me to become more nationalistic than what I am, now. I
am not aware of the practices in other liberal democracies of the world.

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.
