POLITICS

This is History (397)
Abraham Lincoln had little schooling ,such education as he had was mostly his own work ,and yet he grew up a great statesman and a great orator, and steered his country through a great crisis.

AAP govt days are numbered?

Are AAP govt 's days numbered ? If sources are to be believed, about a dozen AAP MLAs are facing various cases and some are arrested. 21 MLAs, who have been appointed Parliamentary Secretaries, fate now lies with ECI. If ECI disqualify them then party will lose majority. AAP won the election with 67 MLAs.

Why Congress leaders giving contradictory statements?
After surgical strikes by the Indian Army, Congress leaders seems to be confused. According to sources right from Rahul Gandhi to Sanjay Nirupam giving hard hitting statements while party has maintained distance from Nirupam's statement and supported the army and the govt action in this regard but after Rahul 's outburst against the PM on Thursday, party is said to be confused how to react ? Will high command clear the air ?


Coffee with an ex AAPian friend ...

Enjoying a Coffee at Costa CP... New Delhi. With me is a Buddy who became 'kutti' (broke friendship) with all of his friends after he joined AAP and now after exiting AAP he's befriending friends he was 'kutti' with.

Me: Yaar what happened to you ????

Friend: Yaar I wore that Cap and my mind went wonky ...I felt I'm holy and all are scum...buss yaar paagal ho gayaa tha!!

M: At first when it started with Anna I too was attracted ... but when Kejri went back on his ...no politics for me ..and left Anna .. I realised he's just a Guppi. And then when his double standards ..like we won't take a Government House and Laal Batthi waali car .....played out in actuality when he got power ..I felt I had realized the truth well in time ..

F: Say a thank you to Him ... yaar it was like a vortex of idiocy ..once I got sucked in ..I realize today I literally defied all logic..

M: But when did you get jolted out of your idiocy ..

F: When I met one of his close aides.... boy I got such a kick in my pants.. such hunger for power ....such closed mindedness ... and then for him AK was a Demi God ....Congress's High Command and Gestapo combined !!

M: Now what's your prognosis for AAP..

F: Self destruct ...or just buckle under the weight of their stupidities. ..now like see AK's statements on the Surgical Strikes ...you think Public does not know what he is actually saying ...he thinks he's being smart firing the gun from Pakistan's shoulder ...

M: I'm appalled at the language these AAP guys use ....

F: They feel it's aggressive politicking ....insulting comes so naturally to them .....and as they move up in the Party the language gets worse ...at the grassroots the AAP guys are pretty decent ... most mean well ... but like me... in different stages of being 'vortexed'... I got 'vortexed' too fast ..

M: AAP boasts they are sweeping Punjab and Goa Polls ..

F: That's their SOP ... start with.. we've already won ... they did it in Delhi ...

M: Yup in Delhi it worked because Congress had been binned ... and BJP was hell bent on self goals ...or maybe BJP was not interested in winning Delhi as AAP had raised expectations to ludicrous levels via ludicrous promises ..

F: I hear in Punjab there's a bounce back by Akalis BJP ...AAP NRI support is wilting ... if you go down to brass tacks Akali BJP have not done too badly in Punjab... especially Power. .Roads ...pro Poor schemes ...general development ..

M: Yup badh se badhnaam boora...achcha now one vital question....and give me a frank reply... is AK honest ..

F: Arre I'm out of AAP mindset ...I don't issue certificates or pronounce verdicts .....I don't question people's certificates .....I'm back to ... apni nibhed tainoo horr naal kee ..gattdi sambhal tainoo chor naal ki ...do your job..forget what the other person is doing ..take care of your belongings and stop taking everyone to be a robber !!!

Mamta Banerjee , because she wears simple Sarees.

Another reality in services


There is an article on empanelment of IAS as JS in less than 20 yrs and other services are also requesting for similar treatment. Good it should done. Another reality in services is officers in CSS & CSSS have stagnated for over 20 yrs on existing posts. DOPT lists out status of cadre restructuring of various services and pat on its back that it has completed these cadre restructuring in a time bound manner in so far as CSS and CSSS cadre restructuring were announced in Jan 2015 and was to be completed in 3-6 months unfortunately both has not yet seen the light of the day. DO DOPT also reports this fact to Cab. Sec. or other higher ups. I hope set of rules of GOI are same for everyone and these are the same DOPT officers who are dealing other matters of cadre. Have some heart and treat these 2 services with heart.

Pay revision orders in R/O re-employed pensioners awaited

It is about two months when the CCS (Revised Pay) Rules, 2016 were issued on 25th July, 2016 specifying in Para 2(2)(vii) that these rules shall not apply to persons re-employed in Government after retirement. Justifiably speaking, DOPT may please issue pay revision orders in respect of re-employed pensioners also, like past times, when Govt. issued OMNo.3/13/2008-Estt. (Pay II) on 11th November, 2008 so as not to deprive the re-employed pensioners any longer their legitimate benefit as a result of acceptance of the recommendations of 7th Pay Commission by GoI, which has already been given to other working employees.

DATE WITH RTI

Multiple RTI Applications seeking huge information

The applicant sought huge information pertaining to Income Tax offices. He also wanted to know the basis of conducting survey and search and the specific steps taken to stop tax evasion during the financial year 2013-14 etc. The PIO submitted that the appellant has filed as many as 30 appeals before the Central Information Commission seeking all and sundry information and despite heavy pressure they have made strenuous efforts to provide the information. He further stated that much of the information sought by the appellant is in the public domain and can be accessed by visiting the department's website www.incometaxindia.in. The appellant stated that he had lodged a TEP against a medical store in early 2015 and wants to know what action has been taken by the department. He further stated that he wants a copy of the scheme for payment of award to informants. He also requested for a note explaining the method adopted by the Income Tax Department for assessment and scrutiny. The PIO stated that he will supply the information as requested above by the appellant. The CIC observed that once a certain information is placed in the public domain accessible to the citizens either freely, or on payment of a predetermined price, that information cannot be said to be 'held' or 'under the control of' the public authority and, thus would cease to be an information accessible under the RTI Act. The Commission hoped the appellant will take a careful note of the above judicial observations and refrain from filing frivolous RTI applications in future.

Comments


Whenever one is seeking information under the RTI Act, the RTI Application should be focused and specific. Asking for voluminous information through multiple applications may lead to a charge of abuse of the process of law.
