Jaha dekho Jaichand hai. ..
I am at a famous Dhaba on the Karnal Delhi Highway. Resting on a Desi Charpoy... and enjoying the chatter in the Dhaba. The TV is on full blast and Rahul is speaking after meeting the President ..

Customer 1: Oye kee boll reha hai eh (what's he saying)....

Customer 2 : He's saying he loves the Country and lives for the Country. ...lagdaa hai iss waasthe shaadi nahi karr reha hai (that's why he's not getting married)..

C1: So why does he keep running away overseas all the time....if he loves India so much then stay here .... his actions don't match his words..why is he saying BJP has branded entire JNU as seditious ...

Customer 3: Kissi ne bataaya hogaa.... or must have learned about this from the section of Media that's pro Congress.... its like disliking going to the Doctor and being guided by someone who has hatred for Doctors...baised leading the baised..

Customer 4: Everything is on tape (CD)....but still being denied... Netas and Media is giving ...unrefutable evidence ...spins ... we see it all the time ...

C2: Yes..if Netas are caught red handed taking money they don't accept it ...apologize and resign. ..no..never ...they invent ...sting is work of opponents ...or Media doing a hit job etc etc. .. same here ...now Commies are already contesting authenticity of the Clip. .some say voice makeover ....

C1: I hear there are 3 sources... Students themselves ... Registrar got the entire episode filmed and Cops in plainclothes who were ordered to film..the Cops tapes (CDs) are still not in the Public domain. .but I hear the most damning ..

C2: If I were Sonia I'd be advising Rahul to extradite himself from this mess... everyday he comes out more and more ludicrous ...

C3: Yes ...yes ....because if Rahul stands with those who chant 'Bharat tehre tukkde honge' then next election the 44 will plummet to 4 ....

Customer 5 : What if tomorrow he turns around and says ..I was misquoted by Media ....

C4: Possible .... so he'll continue on this path and once it's shelf life expires he'll say... I was misquoted...

C2: But then what does he gain .....

Me: In present situation Chaos .... and in the long run he banks on our stupidity .....our memory is shortlived and we tend to skip to next issue...and ignore the Jaichands...he's banking we'd have forgotten or moved on to other controversies ..mostly both...

C1: Oye Channel change karro.... depression ho gaya ..

C2 : Bhook marr gayi..

C3: Kuch achcha dekho...

C4: TV bandh karro..

C5: Shut the damn thing ...I feel like a blooming fool....

M: We allow ourselves to be fooled....all around us we have Jaichands in Trojan Horses... jaha daal daal pe Jaichand karte hai baserra woh Bharat Desh hai merra...

Is there a Gujarat Model for CGHS ?

PM Modi often refers to the Gujarat Model. Can't he replace the Lutyens Model of CGHS services in Delhi and elsewhere? The WIC has been highlighting the suffering of the beneficiaries from time to time, especially the pensioners. The PM being a sensitive person, who stands for zero tolerance to corruption and inefficiency in public services, will cry more bitterly than in America were he to go incognito on surprise visit to the CGHS dispensaries and specialist wings in RML & Safdarjung. It is horrible, pathetic, wasteful and stressful to the patients and the doctors alike. Should patients aged 70+ be made to stand in queues for hours first at registration counter, then outside the room of the doctor and then at the medicine counter, come back for medicines after 2-3 days if they need to be indented? Without saying much I conclude by saying that I had expected a magical change by application of the Gujarat Model to an organized source of malfeasance for decades in medical store purchase etc. Public services are deliberately made deficient so that corruption can prosper!

CGHS

N Prakash and myself have been continuously writing at this forum for cause of senior pensioners of CGHS. By not reforming CGHS procedures for senior pensioners Sir Health Minister Sahib you are adding to their woes. Sir its high time you kindly come forward and announce following reform measures for 65 plus pensioners :
a) For all OPD these 65 plus pensioners can go to any hospital CGHS registered hospital of their choice without any reference from his / her local CGHS dispensary,
b)for all medical tests / diagnostics can go to CGHS registered Labs without any ref frm his / her dispensary,
c)All indoor treatment major minor surgeries procedures directly can go to CGHS registerd hospitals of his / her choice without any reference from CGHS or any specialist, and d) all medicines , drugs injections etc from same hospitals, and finally for this category of pensioners all cashless transactions.
The account reconciling should be done by CGHS and hospital / laboratory concerned.
CGHS should get developed appropriate software for this category of pensioners of age 65 plus
Respected Health Minister please try with this and if successful you may cover all CGHS beneficiaries.

Subletting of govt. accommodation

In response to Saxena's view on subletting of Govt. accommodation I specifically bring a specific case where one Deputy Director, Arora official of the Ministry of Urban Development had let out his servant quarter 21/120 Lodhi Colony to criminals and One Ambassador, Rayadu was abducted from Lodhi Garden and kept for 4 days in his rented house and none of the intelligence agencies was able to trace this diplomat for days together. Unfortunately this official was so powerful that he went scot free despite this criminal act. On the top of it as he knew the system well he unauthorizedly kept on occupying his residential accommodation for years together after his retirement, not paying any dues to anyone. In league with Ministry officials he vacated house and put a lock on the house and the next day UD officials came and took over the house. Why he was not caught for this act, why UD officials did not take any action, why his pension not forfeited. This is the sorry state of affairs in Urban Development.
