Chairman DERC - who ?
The selection of Chairman DERC is a toss up between a retiring Secretary,
Govt. of India and a Chief Commissioner of Income Tax. The CM Delhi
seems keen on the Income tax officer for obvious reasons. Meanwhile
LG, Delhi, who is to approve the final appointment; had not even approved,
reportedly, the constitution of the Selection Committee. Where does
that leave the legality of the full process? Eventually it seems that
the Delhi Govt will be run by High Court and not the LG or the AAP.

Prabhu delivers ... always
In LS Smrithi had Congress
running for cover!
Like an angry bee on their heads she did hover!
Anuraag Thakur got Rahul so upset!
That he left LS to fume and fret!!
Midway in Smrithi's speech rest of Congis ran!
The order was ..run as fast as you can!
Maybe aa Rahul had run away!
Sonia felt how in LS can Congis now stay!
Scindia tried to put up a brave front!
But ended as just a flopped stunt!
No one wants JNU to be shut!
It's just a few students who have got JNU in this rut!
On the flag Scindia needs a reality check!
Seems for facts he cares a heck !
Till 2002 only on Govt Buildings the flag flew!
Seems about this Scindia did not have a clue!
He said why till 2002 RSS did not fly Indian flag!
Lagtha hai GK mein yeh karta hai badly lag!
And sedition can be via sloganeering!
Though as per Scindia it's just jeering!
The most seditious slogan was this one!
Afzal your unfinished work by us will be done!
With this slogan rest fall in place!
Anyway Smrithi showed Scindia his place!
Congis wrote off Budget before it was presented!
Billed it as painted (window dressed) and dented!
Prabhu's Budget turned out to be good!
No fare hikes and no playing Robin Hood!
Services.. safety and speed!
And from a demeaning title Coolies freed!
NE connectivity will bring NE closer!
But for Congis I have a poser!
What is your analogy of a good one!
See what blunders you RMs have done!
Bled the Railways in the name of populism!
Sheer political opportunism!
Tempted by Baby Food!
Hope our Amul Baby doesn't get into Choo Choo travelling mood!
His travelling by train would be a costly affair!
Who will foot his SPG cover fare???
As per Blue Book neighbouring 2 bogeys empty!
To play football space aplenty!
I would say Prabhu's Budget is sensible like Prabhu!
Kept Politics in total kaabu (control).

No law of land in MOS&PI.
Any one can noticed that in last fortnight, member of Indian Statistical
Service (ISS) and Subordinate Statistical Service (SSS) are being transferred
frequently from one place to another place in throughout the country
in the absence of structured transfer policy. As per various instructions
of DOP&T, transfer policy is mandatory for all cadre controlling
authority. These transfers can be challenged before the Court and culprits
can be punished.
The concept of Rule of Law is that the state is governed, not by the
ruler or the nominated representatives of the people but by the law.
The Constitution of India intended for India to be a country governed
by the rule of law. It provides that the constitution shall be the supreme
power in the land and the legislative and the executive derive their
authority from the constitution.

Why don't they hold rallies for Army Martyrs ?
Well said. I feel, the CM of Delhi does not have much on hand, so everyday
he is partaking in the rallies with Rahul Gandhi. Why don't they hold
rallies for the Army Martyrs who were from JNU. Let their conscience
awake them from their soft corner for the JNU students which is sheer
folly on their part which will result losing the goodwill of all of
us in the country.

Govt should take steps
The Government jobs provide a very meagre percentage of jobs in the
country i.e. in between 1 to 2 percent. Reducing of retirement age and
providing of reservation is no panacea to all the ills of jobs in the
country. More and more industries and service sector will have to come
in the country to provide jobs. People will also have to be self-employed.
The youngsters running away to the cities for jobs leaving behind their
farms should be told to go back in their nuclear families wherein they
will be looked after properly. In order to make their agriculture business
viable Government will have to step in by providing water, proper seeds
& fertilizers, mechanized farming facilities, better roads and air-conditioned,
transport arrangement and storing facilities.

UPSC appointments should also be transparent !
Not just PESB, even UPSC appointments should be transparent, no doubt
about it. At least this new government has taken initiative to have
better people on PSU boards, look at Air India which is now turned profitable
with consistent years of loss but just because a able person was brought
in as CMD.
Where were you people when all wrong appointments happened during previous
government ? Every PSU selection had a price tag (Yes Price Tag) during
previous panel of PESB ? Both Suyas and Shashank want changes overnight.
How is it possible in a system that is corrupt for years ? Be patient,
give time, things will certainly improve in bringing transparency and
accountability.

DATE WITH RTI

Seeking copy of Caste Certificate of an officer
Appellant sought a copy of Schedule Tribe (ST) certificate of
a particular officer under the RTI Act, on the basis of an assumption
that it might be fake. The PIO replied that SC certificate was
not enclosed to the service book of the officer. The Central Information
Commission (CIC) asked the appellant whether the appellant is
having any basis to his suspicion about the ST certificate and
about his interest in seeking these details, but the appellant
could not convince the CIC. The CIC observed that the appellant
had been heard earlier by it in several appeals. The CIC commented
that the appellant is a cantankerous misuser of RTI and does not
deserve any sympathy or information, as there is no public interest.
The appellant is wrecking vengeance against the authority and
officers for taking stern action against his misconduct. The CIC
admonished him for misuse of RTI. The CIC ruled that the Public
Authority can reject his RTI applications about inquiry and inquiry
officers as that would impede the entire process of inquiry.
Comments
There is no specific provision in the RTI Act regarding rejection
of an application for alleged misuse of the RTI Act. However,
the CIC has repeatedly come to the aid of the PIOs in cases of
harassment by repeated filing of applications.
